MIL broke our front door hardware this weekend so...anyone want to help me shop for new ones? We currently have the first pic and planned to upgrade at some point, just not today. Our house was built in the 90s and is...very 90s and Colonial-ish. All the interior doors have the same brass lever handle. MH's only opinion is that he doesn't love the lever (ours was a little loose, so confirmation bias on being "less sturdy" I guess). Of course I do like a lever, it feels "fancier" to me. I'm thinking oil rubbed bronze but I can't decide on the shape, maybe the 2nd pic but I'm not sure it'll fit the house

It looks like we're going to have to put down our 16 year old iggie today. She has kidney disease and stopped eating yesterday and we still can't get her to eat today, all she wants to do is sleep. 😔
I know it's for the best, moving her with us across the country was going to be a challenge to say the least, but I'm still sad. She's such a sweet dog and she will be missed.
So we have a call in to the vet who makes house calls and helped us when Luna's cancer got to be too much. Hopefully she'll have room for us today or tomorrow.

My niece is a #bossbabe for beachbody and her FB feed is 95% shilling. I don't want to miss actual stuff but the multiple posts a day, especially today when she posted about the NEGATIVE VIBES around us lately. Like, shit is going straight to hell and you call it negative vibes?
I suppose I can just rely on my mom to clue me into anything important and just hide her.

Yeah well, take a look around lady. I think hiding her is a great idea.

I'm doing my research on for the MD primary for the next few weeks.
Of course the 74 white dude is polling in the #1 spot. Of course.

fatpony, you can snooze people for 30 days. Sometimes I just don't have the patience to see...whatever they are doing...daily, but it feels fine a month later. I have a fair # of family members that I had to go ahead and unfollow though.

I’m in such a funk. I took the week off work and I’m just fucking miserable. I keep checking work email, can’t shake the stress, am not enjoying my time with DS, don’t feel like doing anything. My therapist gently suggested increasing my anxiety/depression meds two weeks ago and I shrugged it off, but I am going to do it. I know that’s likely to help I’m just stubborn about it and don’t love the side effects. But she’s right. My brain needs some help right now.
I think I should probably take a news break for a couple of days too. It’s hard when the world is burning but I’m guessing a couple of days won’t make too much of a difference in my engagement but might make a big difference in my mental health.
I just want to have like not sad or mad or blah feelings all the time. I want to mix in some fun and happiness from time to time.

Sending hugs jaygee. ❤️ I had similar feelings when I had to increase my SSRI dose this winter. But it really did help give me the extra mental space to work my coping skills and take care of myself and my family.

I’ve been struggling enough that I’m taking a trial break from my BC because things started to get worse since I’ve been on them, and increase in anxiety, depression, acne, bloating, and weight gain are the top side effects and I’ve got them all. I historically feel really off kilter on BC, so I’m hoping that will help some. Weee. FX the cysts don’t come back 🥴 at least I shouldn’t bleed to death.

I’m sorry byjove. It sucks that we have to choose which side effects are worse when figuring out a path forward. Thanks Minerva. It actually really helps to hear someone else have the same decisions.
