I feel so weird asking a bunch of strangers to give me advice on this situation but I feel like this is the only way I can find any direction given how indecisive I can be.

Long story short, I’ve had my border collie for about 4 years now (got him as a puppy) and he’s just the best dog in the world. My husband and I were suddenly feeling like we needed to add a kitten to our life (we had some before when we got our dog because the original plan was to have cats but we got so attached to our dog that we had to give away the kittens to friends around that time), but now we felt like we were really ready for a feline companion.

Fast forward to this week, I’m currently doing a foster to adopt and it’s only been 3 days but the kitten just really hates my dog. He’s very curious about her and with her size, probably looks so scary and big so I understand that this could take some time. Yesterday she got so frightened when he creeped up on us in her separate room (I’m keeping her between my laundry and study room), that she let out a really bad stank from her anal glands I’m guessing. I just don’t know if they’ll ever get along and feel like I’ve made a huge mistake bringing her here.

I’m just feeling so conflicted and my husband hasn’t been very helpful in this decision making process and is basically saying “you do what you wanna do”. She’s soooo cute and feel like I’m already attached but at the same time I feel like I’m fighting to divide my time between my WFH job, giving my dog attention, and tiring this little kitty out. Will this all be worth it? I really don’t know what to do and almost decided today that I should just give her back to the shelter.

I just started my journey yesterday by injecting 8 units which I think is .2mg the first two weeks and then increasing to 12 over the new few weeks. Anyway, I didn’t think I’d be this sensitive to it seeing how others on here have had not experienced any side effects on such a low dosage. I actually can’t even imagine being on the full dose of glp.

Since yesterday I’ve had a constant headache which feels like a little buzz in my head, very little nausea accompanied by acid reflux after eating, and I definitely was not able to properly go #2 today. I know it’s way too early to say and I could probably just ask my doctor but did anyone experience any symptoms the first two days?

Today I had breakfast of cottage cheese and apples/walnuts and then didn’t eat anything until dinner time which is pretty normal for me (I hardly ever eat 3x a day), and then I had salad with chicken wings and a Ollipop and literally felt so bloated even though i think it was barely any food. The fullness though didn’t feel normal, it felt like someone opened up my stomach and put a ton of bricks. Anyway, I’m really hoping the other symptoms go away soon cus this headache is not fun at all.

Would love you hear about yalls experience!! And if you ended up getting anti nausea pills from your doc?

I feel like I’m getting ripped off and I can’t prove it. I go to a med spa for skin treatments and so far have done various ones such as Opus, SecretRF, LaseMDUltra, and now doing microneedling. I’ve had pretty bad acne scars from my 20s so I’m doing this to help my skin texture mostly.

I recently did Microneedling at this office which I’ve done before at a diff place where I believe it was 200-300 per session. However this place charged me almost $500 for face and neck plus another $200 for a PDGF topical add on for a total of $700. This is a crazy price for me and now I’m kind of stuck as a member with them until October because of the membership I signed up for that is $300 every month (it provides a little discount from their regular pricing and the money also goes towards the treatments).

I was curious to know what everyone else has spent on microneedling specifically or just interested to see how much you’ve spent on your skincare journey in general and has it been worth it to you? I’m still struggling with acne scars and my acne in general comes and goes so I feel like I’ve wasted $$$.

I recently moved from an apt to a home a few months ago and this is my first time dealing with a high humidity in the home.With that, it’s bringing in a lot of ants to our bathroom (set up ant baits for this) and this brown little bugs called Silverfish? But it looks similar to it but almost amber in color. Anyway- I’m pretty grossed out and wish I never rented this place. If a fairly new build in the suburbs of Richmond. This with a combination of house spiders (I know every home? has some but I swear they are in every crevice and give me the biggest ick as much as I don’t wanna hurt them (I’ve been vacuuming them). I noticed recently on my thermostat that the humidity says 55% and I’m pretty sure in the morning it was 60%. Im guessing this moisture is bringing in these critters. I don’t get it though because I always have the AC on because I work from home and I can’t think of any other way I can dehumidify the place without having to purchase a dehumidifier. Any home owners have tips!? I’m fighting lovebugs outside and these creepy crawlers inside 😩 I’m so fed up
