One thing that has really worked for me is a website called sleepytime (you can google it, I won't post the link). It tells you what time you should wake up to be rested if you're going to sleep at a certain time. Alternatively, it tells you what time you should go to sleep to wake up well rested in a good sleep cycle. Each option gives multiple times in different increments so you can get as much or as little sleep as you want but the goal is to set your alarm to wake up in a certain point of your sleep cycle that will make you feel well rested (as opposed to waking up to alarms during REM sleep). I thought it was hokey, but it really seems to work well for me! As far as the sweating goes, DS has severe hyperhidrosis but has since birth. If it's a new thing for you then I'd get your sugars checked or see if it may be a menopause symptom. Good luck!

DH has driven a few times in England (where I'm from, but didn't drive). It's an adjustment but you'll really love having your own car. Poor DH had to navigate my parent's manual car shift on the opposite side whilst driving on the opposite side, whilst his wife was navigating. 🙄😊 You can totally do it.

It can be any chair. ☺️ So far so good, it seems like it will be relatively easy to keep up with. I'm only hurting a little bit. HA!!!

Thank you so much for this information. I signed up yesterday and did my first work out today. It does seem doable. I'm currently a size 18 so your story is very encouraging to me!

Thank you for asking this question, OP. I'm reading the responses with interest as I am about to turn 40 and know that I have to do something about this excess weight soon or it will be much harder to get off (it's already hard).

We use Amazon brand colored pencils and DD really likes them for general coloring and her art class.

Thank you! He is back to normal now. It lasted off and on for about 2 weeks after the first shot. Nothing after the second, but he did have a day of feeling blah.

I'm so sorry for your loss. His mom has every right to proceed however she sees fit.

AAAAAHHHHH why do I read these threads!?! LOL! Idonotneedthisapplianceidonotneedthisappliance..... I have the original foodi and use it as an instant pot/air fryer. I also have a griddle, but I don't have a way to cook steaks perfectly. 🤔

After reading threads here earlier this summer that mentioned the risk I scheduled DS's shots after basketball camp ended and had him avoid exercise of any kind for a week after each one. DS did have some issues with vertigo and feeling sick but nothing that seemed heart related. I'm really grateful to the threads here or I'd have had no idea about the myocarditis risk.

Not the PP but I just googled it and it looks like it's her search area.

I take Jarrow S.Boulardii, is that pretty much the same as taking Florastor? If I take this then I don't need to actually buy Florastor?

I just looked and ours is in our account already. Hope that helps

Thank you so much for this, especially the 3 mile hike recommendation! DH is a pilot based out of National and so we have done a lot of the monuments/museums etc. Will have to try the Great Falls and Billy Goat Trail! We walked from the monuments to Teddy Roosevelt Island and then out to Rosslyn and took the metro back and that was a nice walk. We're always looking for things to do in nature.

I'm so sorry to read about all of the losses in your family. Sending gentle hugs.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having backaches. I had COVID in February and the backaches were the worst. Sending healing prayers!

These threads are dangerous! LOL! I'm still subscribing....😂

I'm glad you're asking for a flu test! I've been tested for Covid a couple of times. The first time I thought I might have it (I didn't) they made sure to test for the flu right after. I just assumed that was something that all doctors did. I hope that you start feeling better soon and can rest well.

When I lost my sense of smell due to Covid I wasn't at all congested. It was so strange because I could breathe normally but couldn't smell or taste anything. Any other symptoms? As far as the other things go I would test again in a few days to make sure.

It sounds much more grand that it actually is. LOL! It's our old box TV armoire that we just put in the garage to hold gadgets. 😁

This was going to be my suggestion, lol!!! I also like Hot Mess House on HGTV (I watch on Hulu with Live TV), and a lot of minimalist shows. I also really like setting a timer for decluttering and then I can work past it if I want but I know there's an end to it if I'm feeling that I don't really want to continue. I'm glad you did the cabinet!

I got the Ninja Foodi a couple of years ago. It's a slow cooker/Instant Pot/Air Fryer in one. It's my most used kitchen gadget. I use the air fryer part more than the other options. It's too hefty for me to want it on the kitchen counter but I just store it in my gadget armoire in my garage. It's totally been worth it to me.

Was there anything about third doses for people who have been vaccinated and have already had Covid? I got Covid earlier in the year and waited 5 months for my first vaccination (am now fully vax'ed). Wondering if the natural immunity would work similarly to that booster shot.

Just an update...It took us 6 weeks to get the kids' passports back (not expedited).

I would go, but I'm probably also biased so take that answer how you wish. DH is a pilot and has been flying through the pandemic. He didn't get Covid and we haven't seen a huge amount of fellow pilots/FA's down with Covid in relation to how much they fly (which can be to may different airports/flights a day). Totally unscientific and anecdotal example though, so like I said take it for what it is. DH is now fully vaccinated (but wasn't for a long time due to availability in our area for his age) and I have no issue with him flying. He flies on average 60 flights a month. I would go because of the milestone and the alternative of driving 14 hours (UGH! LOL!). You have to do what you feel comfortable with, though!
