I’m in Central Standard Time/Chicago. I usually have a pretty decent amount of bookings but I have zero. Anyone else not booked when usually they are booked? Is school starting soon?

Have you ever cancelled plans or a lesson (I take piano lessons) because of your IBS? Sometimes if I’m

having issues I worry that I’l have “issues” during the lessons even though I’m taking lessons online. It makes me nervous just thinking about how I could suddenly feel worse during the lesson. So sometimes I’ve cancelled….most recently about. 15 minutes before. (I don’t mind that I’m being charged because I’d rather be charged than embarrassed or uncomfortable. )

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has had to do this.

Have you ever explained to your teacher or student why there might be times you may have to cancel….etc leave early …be late..?

I feel so terrible for doing so. I just need to know I’m not the only one who has a crazy stomach/intestines…😥

Just wondering what brands and types of clothing teachers are buying? I’m looking to update my wardrobe for this school year to look put together but also comfy. (I’m an elementary teacher if that helps.)

I have a lot of clothes and I need to get rid of some. I usually only buy from Kohls. Old Navy etc….not a whole lot of high end brands. Is it worth trying to sell on ThredUp? Can you send back items you’ve purchased from ThredUp to sell?

Just wondering if it’s better to just take a bag to local thrift store and be done with it. 😆

What small standing desk with wheels would you recommend?

How is anyone coping with both perimenopause and ADHD? I feel as worse or worse than I did before I got diagnosed as an 8 or 9 year old. Having an extremely hard time being a “good employee” and even worse at taking care of me, my home, my cat, and my hard to kill plants. I feel like I’m failing at adulthood.

-I’ve gained weight and feel terrible or unattractive in whatever I wear/do/go.

-My house is a mess -the worst it is has ever been.

-Plants are in fact dying.

-Having trouble remembering to scoop littler box.

-At work I can’t get motivated to do paperwork or when I do it, can’t remember to stick with it.

-Sometimes I can barely get myself out the door in the mornings. I’ve taken pretty close to the limit of sick days -sometimes just to sit at home and be a blob or sleep.

-When I get home, I usually just want to lay down and decompress- BUT then get more behind with everything.

Any tips to be motivated to go and do well at work… take care of myself, my home (clean/organize) be presentable, my cat and plants greatly appreciate it!
