Hi! My sister and BIL are having their first child. My parents are retired and going to stay with them immediately after and my mom is sticking around to help for a few weeks. I work full time so I can't offer the same gift of time (plus she doesn't want a bunch of visitors at first). She's been "nesting" aka meal prepping frozen meals and my mom is also bringing food. I plan to get them a DoorDash gift card, but I wanted to send my mom with a little basket of things for them. Any ideas of thoughtful gestures or items that helped you most?

I've given a lot of books a chance, but there are only a handful where I can't put down. Those consist of:
- Where the Crawdads Sing
- The Notebook
- Dog's Journey / Purpose series
- 7 Husbands (took months to get there, but once I was half way through it got good)
- Hotel Nantucket

Books I've tried but just can't:
- Beach Read
- Lessons in Chemistry
- QOTAR

....but getting out of bed is SO hard. Like I'm a completely different person when I have to get up and I'm still tired. Like I get pissed at my dog and that's my BABY. But If I could get up at 5am, I'd have a whole entire day before I have to sign on to work around 9am! It sounds sooo great in theory and I can pump myself up to do it when I go to bed and when my alarm goes off...nope!

I'm so curious about her and how she came to be Paige's assistant. Like how does this job fall into one's lap?

My 5 y/o indoor cat has been having diarrhea in and out of the litter box for days now. There were no changes in his food. To help keep him hydrated, I'm only feeding him wet food (usually he gets both wet and dry) and switched him to a sensitive stomach formula. He's eating and acting normal other than the ongoing rhea. This has happened a couple of years ago (except he was also throwing up) and I spent $800 on vet labs and everything came back normal. At what point should I be worried? What may have caused this? What will stop this?

I'm only a week in at 0.8mg. 36 yo female here. I've been taking it at night. First few nights were fine and then I went to no sleeping and super anxious. Anyone else experience these side effects? Do they go away?

I just started taking 0.8 mg. I'm on my 4th day. I take it in the evening at 8pm. So far, I haven't noticed a difference. I've been on my period so maybe that's why? No difference in appetite or food noise

I lead a department within my company. The company I'm at is pure chaos and I've managed to create peace within the little bubble I can control, but it's so taxing on me. I'm sick of dealing with ambiguity, curve balls, chaos. I've felt this burnout at every company I've been at. How do I know if it's just me/how my brain operates or the career or company I'm at?
