Looking for something new to try and wanting to get more active. But I'm literally the least sporty person ever and a total beginner to active hobbies. So looking for suggestions for something to try in the CSRA that's low-stakes, maybe has an indoor option, non-judgemental, and maybe other young adults there.
How often are you all baking? I’ve been having the itch every single weekend but it’s just me and one other person at home who will eat it and the sweets usually last multiple days. Things like cookies, muffins, brownies, cinnamon rolls, etc.
I am a pediatric OT, and working with kids I often get worn out to where it feels so tempting to just each packaged, processed snacks that I have in my bag. Plus the fridge is in a different room and sometimes I don't have time to go there to grab snacks so I just eat what's in my bag.
I would love to hear what you guys are bringing for snacks at work that aren't just bags of chips, trailmix, pretzels, etc. I do like to bake so would be ok meal prepping something!
ETA: I'm vegetarian and allergic to banana and avocado sadly.
Outpatient peds OT here. I know a lot of OTs wear Hokas and really like them, but are they really worth the $150+? I grew up broke so it's always been hard to justify buying myself nice things instead of the $50 Adidas I've been buying.
EDIT: Thanks guys for the info on the Brooks ambassador program--definitely going to look into that! Any specific Brooks shoes you guys like? The more light weight, the better!
I’m a peds OT feeling kind of disappointed in the CEUs I’ve taken because they are all theory and not much about what you can actually do in sessions. For example I did one on sensory strategies you can use, and 75% was just explaining the sensory systems and OTs role in sensory processing. Then there will be like 1-2 case studies of OTs giving sensory strategies in a perfect world where the child is attentive and parents are receptive.
I take most of my CEUs from Aspire OT and Sensational Brain and this has been a theme with both places.
Anyone have peds CEU courses or website that actually give you intervention strategies and don’t spend the whole time just explaining concepts you already learned in school? I am looking for practical ideas that I can bring straight into a session and try.
Thanks all!
So I (26f) grew up reading YA dystopian and sci-fi fantasy series that I would get totally sucked into. Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Percy Jackson, Divergent, the Mortal Instruments, all the series like that.
But since becoming an adult and going through six years of college + full time jobs, I feel like books I read don't have that spark anymore. There are books I still enjoy, but there's not been anything that has gotten me sucked in. So I'm looking for suggestions for books that I can get fully absorbed by and have that hunger to read more again. Open to some YA and adult books.
The closest I've found as an adult is Project Hail Mary. The last series I read was the Darker Shades of Magic series.
Other books I've liked:
I tried the ACOTAR series and Fourth Wing and they weren't for me. Neither were Leigh Bardugo books. Will read thrillers occasionally. Not really into romance, but romance is okay if it's not the main plot.
Can be a standalone or a series. Bonus if they evoke that same feeling as the YA dystopian wave of the early 2010s but are still good as an adult.
Thanks all!
So I have recently been to the Ollie's in Augusta for the first time and am now a little obsessed. For for people who have been to the ones in Aiken and Thompson too, how different is the inventory across all of them? Which one has the best stock?
For reference I am shopping mostly for my job. I work with kids so have been getting a lot of the activity books, toys, and games.
