That is awesome. I’ve been working from home most days for a year and a half. I like to have a clear dividing line between work/home. In the morning I might go for a quick walk around the block and maybe run an errand or go for another walk after work. Then I can gear up/gear down from my work day. I also plan out…

They are also good if you have a room that is a ???/guest room. When it is the guest room they have a queen size bed with a real mattress and when it isn’t the guest room it the office/whatever. There might be furniture moving but it would only happen every couple of months.

A lofted bed requires you to be mobile/not injured enough to be able to climb up and not claustrophobic.

You should be able to. Maybe call your current therapist for a recommendation? That is how I found mine. My regular one called around to find ones that took my insurance and did some phone interviews. She ended up referring several people to my trama therapist.

I second the support group. I went to one have I was rapped and it was incredibly helpful. They understand the small victories in ways a therapist doesn’t. Also maybe look into therapists who specialize in trauma. I had been going to regular therapy for depression and when to a trauma therapist and did EMDR and made…

And all those pianos in the video are really in those locations at this point.

This video showed up on my Facebook feed and I love it. I live in Minneapolis so I recognize all the locations which amuses me to no end.

I’m so sorry that happened to you.

It is hard when people say you’ll change your mind about kids and even worse when it is family. In the end you have to tell them them topic is not open for discussion. And then mean it. My uncle used to get a lot of flack for not dating and he missed a couple holidays in a row. Then people would leave him alone about…

One of my favorite meals is one package of kielbasa (sliced), one box of penne pasta, jar of spaghetti sauce, and vegetables, cook and mix all together. Easy and cheap. Also grilled cheese but use fancy bread/cheese. Here are a couple of website with budget recipes, http://goodcheapeats.com/ and this one as some nice…

I adore Political Animals (this is my second time watching it since it is leaving Netflix 7/15 - but with only 6 eps it is pretty quick to get through.) The dialog is smart and witty, the characters are relatively fleshed out. I think it is an interesting look at what power and fame costs to those around the famous…

It is only on Netflix to 7/15 so if you want to watch it you should probably get on it (there are only 6 episode so it is a quick watch.

I finally took my paint samples and tried them out on my wall. I want to leave it for a day or two and then I will make my decision and get the paint. I’ve been in my place (owned) for 2 years and still haven’t painted.

I love the character TJ. As someone who is struggling with my sexuality I seem to like character with the same issue. Plus I like the fact that Elaine doesn’t put up with crap from people (and they have a 50+ year old female character who still has sex!)

What is everyone watching tonight? I’m currently re-watching Political Animals (staring Sebastian Stan and Sigourney Weaver) which I love so much.

Possibly a smart TV? Does she have a DVD/blue ray player? Most of them have streaming apps these days. Mom has to change to input between cable/Blue Ray player and I have it set up so they are in the order they are on the entertainment center (ie Cable box (which I also labeled) is on the top shelf is HDMI 1/blue ray…

I had a harness my mom made that when across my chest and buckled behind my back (so I couldn’t escape). We walked most places and used a very busy street where there was no grass between the sidewalk and the street. I wasn’t a runner but tended to be easily distracted by shinny things.

I couldn’t find unemployment rate broken down by age but over all is 3.3 percent but over 10% for non-whites. The housing market is on the upswing but significantly cheaper then other major cities. I have in my mid 30s make less then 45K per year and own a condo downtown. We also have a fairly good transit system so…

Definitely confined to certain areas. Parts of north Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center. I have lived in South Minneapolis (and now downtown for 10 years and have never really felt unsafe (and I have safety issues a mile wide.) There does tend to be issues with cars getting broken into but I avoid that by not…

Thank you. She had been really nice and she basically dropped my all of the sudden. I’m also very socially isolated so it is not like I have a lot of other options for socialization.
