Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how yo Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how you think I can safely work as a dental hygienist with extremely noticeable hand tremors and shaking happening all the time.

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wa PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wait… they sell out every single year! 🍂

I know it feels a little early to be thinking about fall decor, but trust me on this one! These realistic faux mums are one of my favorite outdoor fall decorating finds, and they always disappear fast.

Last year I finally swapped my real mums for faux mums, and I haven’t looked back! 🤎 I could never figure out how to keep real mums alive. Too much water? Not enough? Either way, mine never seemed to last more than a few weeks. 😅

Now I can decorate my front porch for fall with beautiful artificial mums that look incredibly real, save money in the long run, and I get to reuse them every single autumn. It’s honestly one of the best fall decor investments I’ve made!

So tell me… 🍁 Are you Team Real Mums or Team Faux Mums? I’d love to know which you prefer (and if you’ve actually mastered keeping real mums alive, please share your secrets! 😂)

Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision when they get married?! 😂

Anyone else’s hubby like this?! Because explain to me how this man can spot a golf ball from 100+ yards away… but somehow can’t find the ketchup when it’s literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE in the fridge. 🤣

Apparently, he has 4K vision for golf and absolutely ZERO vision for anything I ask him to find. 😂

I guess when it comes to golf, he really knows how to lock in… but when it comes to finding something in the refrigerator? Suddenly he’s legally blind. 💀

Husband humor + marriage humor is truly unmatched. 😂 Tell me I’m not the only one married to a man with selective blindness! 👀

I like to tell myself that baking is therapeutic for me, and sometimes it really is! But other times, I’m already in the middle of 17 things and somehow decide that this is the perfect moment to make a homemade dessert from scratch. 😂

Like… am I stress baking or just creating additional stress for myself?! 😜

But honestly, I really do love baking. There’s just something about measuring ingredients, mixing everything together, and ending up with something delicious that makes all the chaos feel worth it. 🤎

Please tell me I’m not the only one who uses baking as therapy and then immediately regrets how much work I just created for myself. 😂👇

Succulents Box

Do you love succulents?? And do you love having happy mail delivered straight to your door?? If so, you are definitely going to love The Succulents Box! They are a monthly subscription box of, you guessed it- succulents!!

They were kind enough to send me a box to review and I have to tell y’all, I am so impressed with them! The succulents are so cute and arrived in excellent condition. So if you’re a crazy plant lady like me, you’re going to want in on this!

Succulents Box
Look at how great they look in my painted terra cotta pots too!

Receiving Your Succulents

I was highly impressed with how well packaged the succulents were! They arrived very quick and in perfect condition. If you just received your succulents from The Succulent Box too, then there are a few things to note when opening them:

  • Do not put succulents in sunlight immediately. They will need to adjust gradually.
  • Keep plants in shade or indirect sunlight and then slowly introduce them to direct sun.
  • They prefer daytime temperatures of 70 and 85 degrees. Make sure to shade them if your climate is hotter.
  • Water only when the soil is dry!
    • In summer, water generously every 1-2 weeks
    • In winter, cut back to just once a month

Ordering Your Succulents

So you get to choose what succulents you want to receive! And of course I have a coupon code for y’all to try to! Did you really think I would share a product with you all without giving you a coupon code?! Even cooler, I have two options for you to choose from!

You can get $5 off your first box with the code “5OFF” or you can get 10% off your total with the code “HAPPYPLANT10” too!

Succulents
Here they are next to my other succulents that I have in a vintage toolbox!

Red Lion Sepervivum

This succulent is beautiful, although it isn’t very red upon first glance. If you look closely, you can see a light red hue to it. But it is not a vibrant shade. I am not sure if it grows more into a red color or not, I guess we will see as time goes on! Here is all the info on the Red Lion:

  • Full or partial sun
  • Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch, and then let drain completely.
  • Reduce watering to a minimum during the winter
  • Likes gritty, sandy soil

Blue Atoll Echeveria

This succulent is large and beautiful! I love how it looks in my painted terra cotta pot too. Here are all the recommendations for the Blue Atoll:

  • Full or partial sun
  • Only needs occasional water
  • Needs a well-drained succulent mix
  • Generally non-toxic to humans and animals

Ramilette Echeveria

This is your classic green looking succulent. Cute and tiny and just so adorable no matter where you plant it! Here is all the basic info for Ramilette:

  • Full or partial sun
  • Avoid letting water sit too long in the rosette to prevent rot and fungal diseases
  • Likes a well drained succulent mix

Rubrotinctum Jelly Bean Sedum

I saved my favorite for last! How fun is this succulent y’all?! I just love the shape to it and how it looks just like jelly beans! If you want one too, here is all the care and tips you need to know for it:

  • Full sun
  • Water deeply when soil is dry to the touch and then let it drain completely
  • Likes soil that is well aerated

My mom loves the jelly bean one!! Thanks for sharing this care guide!

    It’s a common sentiment across the comments that we’re all quite bad at taking care of plants, oh dear! I’m useless with plants and I even managed to almost kill a small bunny-eared cactus by keeping it indoors. Thanks for the plant care tips you included, definitely useful to those interested!

    I went to a wedding once, and the favors were little boxes of succulents. I love the light green shades most of the plants come in, and the different star shapes. I often feel like succulents embody living origami!

    I’ve seen their advertisements on my Facebook, but I’ve been a little skeptical on trying.
    I think I’ll finally try it though. You’re right, you can never have too many plants!

Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how yo Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how you think I can safely work as a dental hygienist with extremely noticeable hand tremors and shaking happening all the time.

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wa PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wait… they sell out every single year! 🍂

I know it feels a little early to be thinking about fall decor, but trust me on this one! These realistic faux mums are one of my favorite outdoor fall decorating finds, and they always disappear fast.

Last year I finally swapped my real mums for faux mums, and I haven’t looked back! 🤎 I could never figure out how to keep real mums alive. Too much water? Not enough? Either way, mine never seemed to last more than a few weeks. 😅

Now I can decorate my front porch for fall with beautiful artificial mums that look incredibly real, save money in the long run, and I get to reuse them every single autumn. It’s honestly one of the best fall decor investments I’ve made!

So tell me… 🍁 Are you Team Real Mums or Team Faux Mums? I’d love to know which you prefer (and if you’ve actually mastered keeping real mums alive, please share your secrets! 😂)

Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision Why do husbands suddenly develop selective vision when they get married?! 😂

Anyone else’s hubby like this?! Because explain to me how this man can spot a golf ball from 100+ yards away… but somehow can’t find the ketchup when it’s literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE in the fridge. 🤣

Apparently, he has 4K vision for golf and absolutely ZERO vision for anything I ask him to find. 😂

I guess when it comes to golf, he really knows how to lock in… but when it comes to finding something in the refrigerator? Suddenly he’s legally blind. 💀

Husband humor + marriage humor is truly unmatched. 😂 Tell me I’m not the only one married to a man with selective blindness! 👀

POV: You’re overwhelmed, so naturally you decide t POV: You’re overwhelmed, so naturally you decide to bake something completely from scratch… because adding more work to your plate seems like a GREAT idea. 🤣🍰

I like to tell myself that baking is therapeutic for me, and sometimes it really is! But other times, I’m already in the middle of 17 things and somehow decide that this is the perfect moment to make a homemade dessert from scratch. 😂

Like… am I stress baking or just creating additional stress for myself?! 😜

But honestly, I really do love baking. There’s just something about measuring ingredients, mixing everything together, and ending up with something delicious that makes all the chaos feel worth it. 🤎

Please tell me I’m not the only one who uses baking as therapy and then immediately regrets how much work I just created for myself. 😂👇
