It's more comfortable and easier to clean. Comfort-wise, it cradles my joints so my hips aren't sore in the morning. Clean-wise, if, say, my dog wakes me up by vomiting on my chest (to pick a random example), I can toss the whole hammock into the wash and pull out my spare.
A decent hammock setup also cost me maybe $200, including the stand.
I sleep in a hammock and so "making my bed" is just "shove all the blankets into hammock so they're off the floor. I'll have to rearrange them over myself when I go to bed, anyway.
Back when I slept in a bed I never made it, either, unless I was expecting company. If they were sleeping over I'd pull out fresh sheets. If we were just hanging out in my room, I'd pull the comforter flat.
Oh, and I never got the hang of flat sheets. I kick them off in the night, unless they're my only blanket.
My dog ate breakfast at a reasonable time this morning. This is notable because he ate yesterday's breakfast at 3am this morning.
(Old dog, forgets to eat. Sometimes I have to jump-start his appetite by literally spoon feeding him, then he'll finish the rest of his super-smelly wet food himself)
Exactly. I'll just go tell my teenaged cousin he needs to move and if he doesn't then any ills befall him are on his shoulders. I'm sure he has full control of his situation and has chosen to live in Texas. That's the choice I'd make if I was a trans teenager, for sure. /s (he knows I exist, am supportive, am queer, and am in a blue state, there's just... circumstances. He's racing towards graduation and college as fast as he can.)
TBH, ADHD is a part of my identity and my ADHD coworkers clocked me, as did my boss whose daughter has ADHD. (Librarian-hood is not the realm of the neurotypical.)
So, not something folks at the grocery store would notice and mileage varies as to what is part of someone's identity.
Kids can be cruel.
I'm glad this Barbie exists. Representation matters, and this toy is one way to show little kids it's ok to have T1D. If a kid knows that Barbie can wear CGM then maybe the kid won't be a jerk when they meet a new kid with a thing on their arm.
I can confirm I am a well-rounded individual.
Can confirm. Am goblin.
Ok, unrelated, but now I'm thinking back to when we had to put down our dog. Later that day we stopped by the store and we were visibly sad, but still needed groceries.
The workers were so lovely. One asked what was up, told him, and he gave us flowers and some stickers. That helped a lot. It was our first pet loss as adults and it was good to be reassured that our feelings were ok.
Sometimes stickers help.
Looks like it comes with access to an online doctor who can prescribe you meds to treat the UTI.
You can probably get a sticker or lollipop at the pharmacy if you ask nicely.
TBH, I have a small personal massager I use for my face. Vibrating the sinuses helps make all the mucus and gunk move, like jiggling a ketchup bottle. It helps my sinus headaches.
But yeah, they knew.
I started it to keep my hands occupied during a class. I love the simple 2-color pattern. I picked the kit up from Stitched Modern.
