I'm getting maternity photos taken in ~6 weeks, and I always go to a pro to get makeup, etc, done for photos. I'm not good at doing this myself

That being said, the makeup place I normally go to is only doing eye/brow stuff due to Covid restrictions. What is a good, easy, ridiculously simple/few items needed tutorial I can go to to do the rest of my face?

I was diagnosed with ADHD a long time ago, and because of the low severity of it and the affects of adderall I decided to not be medicated. I think with WFH and Covid times it’s gotten a lot worse for me and I’ve noticed my work performance tanking and my anxiety rising in public accounting. I know this is normal for people in PA who don’t even have ADHD, but does anyone have any advice??

Anyone split their maternity leave? How did it go? Any tips?

I’m the lead associate on a trial team going to hearing in June (trial only comes up every 2-3 years in my field). I’m due in December so was looking to do my disability separate from my parental leave (take Dec-Feb off for disability, then again July-Sept for firm-sponsored parental; my husband gets 12 weeks, so we’ll switch off with some parent help). HR was like “technically you can do that but no one does.”

Hi! We have a jogathon fundraising in my son’s school. Most of our families are overseas, and don’t want to ask donations to few friends during this difficult times. Our friends also have school age kids. Is it ok if we just do one donation as family? My son wanted to get the expensive prices, but dont want to spend $150 for a kid’s hot lunch. Sorry if it is a dumb question but it is our first fundraising. Thanks

Realized I kind of have shortness of breath / some pressure in the chest (not extreme, and no other symptoms) and now I’m paranoid that I might have COVID 😳 Thinking of getting tested now... For those who got tested, did you get both diagnostic and antibody test?

Feels like the first weekend to not think about work or COVID since March 2020? Anyone with me here?

My awesome cattle dog was hanging back at a safe distance the entire time I was doing maintenance on my bee hive. But she still got bothered by what I assume she thinks are some very spicy flies. Poor baby... I feel awful. 😭😭😭 No bad reaction but she ran the mile or so back to the house crying.

I coughed while warming up my spicy food and I got a never ending panic attack and have started feeling symptoms of coronavirus. How do I make this anxiety stop?

I just found out my cousin is pregnant. I’m a little upset because I assumed she wasn’t having kids. She’s 38 and her husband is 45. I’m happy for them but now I feel more alone on my childfree journey. Anyone else get tired of being the black sheep? 🥺

How do you handle it when your kid can’t go to school/daycare? Daycare options in my area are extremely limited, and the one are in is pretty good. They are very strict about kids not being there when they are sick, which I appreciate and mostly agree with. Except that the rules are along the lines of if your kid has a temperature over 100, they cannot come in until they’ve been under 100 for 72 hours. According to every doctor I’ve spoke to, 100 isn’t even considered a fever. (See rest below)

Looking for some success stories. My friend transferred a PGA tested embryo but baby stopped growing at 7 weeks - right after hearing the heartbeat. She was initially told that the sac was measuring small and to drink a lot of water. She’s still not sure if that caused the MC. She’s scared of trying again. Anyone have a successful pregnancy after miscarrying a healthy embryo?

Looking for input . My company's policy has always been to pay out on rollover PTO when you leave the company. My last day was Jan 8th, and I had 10 days from 2020 I was supposed to be paid on. I talk to my manager and a VP in HR, and they both confirmed I would be paid on the PTO in my Jan 15th paycheck. However, I was not paid and when I emailed about it I was told there was a PTO policy change in April of 2020 and the company no longer pays on carry over PTO...
