I went to "Unity in Song" last weekend and it was a real treat! The weather was perfect for an outdoor concert, and the lineup had something for everyone. My coworkers and I hit up the Northern Province booth first; they handed out some nice snacks that were pretty tasty. Had a good chat with the ...

Just got off the phone with CarlCare for my kid's appointment and man, it's a nightmare. I've been trying to get in for months now. They keep saying they're fully booked and all these new parents are getting their appointments before me even though I have an urgent issue. It's frustrating as hell ...

I moved into my new place last month and had some rough times too! The landlord kept making repairs but there were always other issues popping up.

I’ve been really trying to focus on my mental health lately, especially with all the stress around here. The CDI score keeps popping up everywhere, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. I started a simple routine that has made a big difference for me.

Every morning, right after breakfast, I take 15 ...

Yeah, I totally get how stress can pile up when you're juggling work and family. At my job as a nurse, we have these breathing exercises they teach us during the training. It really helps to calm down before a shift or after a tough day. Just take a deep breath in through your nose for 4 seconds ...

I've been thinking about the CDI scores mentioned in this thread. At my workplace, State Enterprise - Northern Province, we try our best but the stress of maintaining a good score can be tough. It seems like no matter what, there's always something that could use improvement. I do think it helps ...
