When Ali goes to the silver slipper, there's so many funny things happening at the same time. One thing I don't think we talk about enough is the one employee/bouncer guy who heard gun shots and immediately ran through the dancers dressing room and out the back doorI love that guy, they gave a number of frames a good second of screen time ti him booking out of the club so I guess that means it was important. I just read that Sam Levinson lets the cast improvise, and I'm wondering how much of the final cut is improvised. That might alleviate the disgust i have for what now might not be his words. if an actor improvises do they get a writing credit too?

I have a dishwasher drain hose leaking at the point where it connects to the garbage disposal hose. I tried fixing the original hose, but it kept leaking, so I bought a new one and installed it.

The new drain hose has a female end that the disposal hose is supposed to slide into snugly, but it's still loose. Like before, I added a clamp, but it still leaked at the same connection point.

I went to the hardware store and bought a few fittings they recommended for a tighter seal.

the fittings are: nylon barbed fitting to a reducing coupling to a sharkbite male adapter.

I'm working with limited slack on both ends, which makes it tricky. I installed the new fittings, and it's still leaking. I didn't use plumber's tape this time, so that might be part of the problem.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm just not strong enough to get a tight seal. It also doesn't help that the connection is in a really awkward spot — behind the Lazy Susan, so I have to work between the spinning turntable and the cabinet wall.

For context: I'm a single mom and homeowner who's tackled plenty of house projects and repairs myself, but lately I keep feeling like I'm not strong enough to make a good seal.

Photos- the ones with the clamp are the original:

I have this problem with my 2022 Mach E- I live in Seattle and when I parallel park uphill, there's almost no slow way to ease back or ease forward. I try to ease forward a little bit and it's a huge jolt same with the reverse. In my ICE cars there's not that much give on a hill, my car feels like it's a stick and you can just roll backwards. Does anyone know how to make the break more sensitive? I think that's what I need because when I put the gas on to go forward it lunges forward and I have to press on the break really hard. I don't know if this is an issue with anyone else, but my kids are making fun of me and it is very loud. That's the other thing the brakes make a loud sound when I press the pedal in this particular set up.

on Friday before I left work I spoke to my supervisor about my pay and issues I was facing with the job structure. That I am doing four jobs but only getting paid for one and poorly at that. I wrote up a whole script and called her. Now I'm not sure how it's gonna ultimately turn out but as someone who's very rarely stood up for themselves at work. It was a huge win. I definitely plan on continuing to advocate for myself for a raise and a restructure of my job. However, the fear and anxiety and muscle memory that was surging through my body before speaking with my supervisor, felt like I was going to die. My heart was pounding. I had a sick feeling in my stomach. But then I just said f it. I gotta do it. We talked and I tried to stay on topic as much as possible. I have a tendency to minimize my asks or opinions if I feel like it sounds "mean ", I noticed myself doing it a couple times but refocused. The result - today is Saturday and I feel so exhausted like someone knocked me out. I'm still in bed and it's 7 o'clock the next day. I've gotten up a couple times walked around went outside fix my kid's boyfriend's passenger mirror ate a snack chatted with my daughter and went back to sleep. I don't feel like eating. I don't feel like doing anything. I feel bad because my son has been chilling playing video games all day while I sit in the dark . My nervous system is still trying to acclimate to being safe in the world. I've worked very hard for this life, and I will have to continue to work very hard because of this condition. But today, I'm proud of myself even amongst all these other things that are going on in my life. I also felt good because I wanted to do it initially on Monday, but then I thought I want my weekend to be free and not thinking about how I'm gonna talk to my boss on Monday. I thought I'd share this moment with y'all to let you know this is a small win, but a big one for me in the trajectory of my CPTSD.
