Planning a Tub-to-Shower Conversion for a Safer, Easier Bathroom
Key Takeaways A tub-to-shower conversion can make everyday bathing easier for people with balance, mobility, or caregiving concerns. Keeping the shower in the existing tub footprint may reduce plumbing changes and disruption. Safety, waterproofing, drainage, ventilation, and lighting deserve as much attention as finishes. Removing the only bathtub may not suit every household or future buyer. Written estimates, permits, and contractor credentials should be confirmed before demolition begins.

Are you an excuse generator?
Weak people are professional excuse generators. Yup. Somebody has to say it. It’s their go-to move whenever things get uncomfortable. Instead of tackling awkward convos or owning up to a mistake, these types of people whip out an excuse faster than you can ask ‘what happened?’ They create excuses to avoid responsibility. They use them to deflect blame. They want to make sure they let us know the sob story. I’m sorry, I mean the back story— about how it was the situation or someone else that messed things up for them.

What Does Your Work Mean To You?
Sometimes it is not easy to be honest with ourselves when we have made bad decisions, or have not achieved our aims. But acknowledging why we are doing the job we do, or have taken a certain career path, could also help to clarify who we are, where we are going, or what we need to do to confidently reach that state.

The Year I Finally Faced My Debt. AI-Generated.
The post I stopped opening For most of one long Johannesburg winter, I did not open my post. The envelopes with the little windows went straight into a drawer in the kitchen, and the drawer got harder to close each week. I told myself I would deal with it once things calmed down, but things did not calm down, because I was the thing that needed to calm down and I could not. I was juggling three store accounts, a personal loan and a credit card, and every month the minimum payments crept up while my salary stayed exactly where it had always been.

Building an Online Business Without the Technical Headache
Starting an online business can feel like a long list of technical jobs before you even get to the part you actually care about. You need a website, hosting, a domain, business email, perhaps an online store, and a way to attract and communicate with customers. For people without a technical background, putting all of those pieces together can quickly become overwhelming.

I Started My MSW This Week
This Past Week, I started my Masters Degree in Social Work, something I have wanted for many years and something that I have been working towards since 2023. This is something that means the world to me, in 3 years I will walk the stage getting my MSW completing the journey of academics that I've wanted to re-write for years. That I was told I would never, by a guy who couldn't care less about me. I changed that story real fast. I worked my butt off for my two college degrees and I'm building something that nobody can touch. I know that all of the effort I am putting in is setting me up for a wonderful life.

When You Can't See The Wood For The Trees
We often have problems with things and spend so much time and effort trying to find the solution. We cannot see things that when we see them look so simple. Usually in a work situation you can ask for help from a work colleague and as soon as they come to help you with the problem you see the answer that has maybe been staring you in the face.
