My lip filler migration story... not cute

So I got lip filler done about 3 months ago at a place in Austin and everything seemed fine at first. Then last week I noticed this weird little bump above my lip line on the left side. I thought it was a cold sore at first but it wouldn't go away. Went back to the injector and she said it was filler migration. She dissolved it with that enzyme stuff and now my lip looks all wonky and uneven. Has anyone else had migration happen even with an experienced injector? I'm scared to try again.

Found out why my bread kept collapsing after 3 years of trying

I was at a baking class in Austin last month and the instructor pointed out I was adding the salt when I mixed the flour and water. Apparently salt kills yeast activity if it touches directly, so my dough never rose right. Anyone else make that mistake for way too long?

My friend made me rethink my whole monthly spread setup

Was showing my weekly layout to a buddy who journals too and she said 'why do you need a whole page for a habit tracker when you could just write it in your daily log?' At first I was defensive but now I'm trying her way for July and I actually saved like 3 pages. Has anyone else realized they were overcomplicating something basic?

Talked to my brother-in-law, a civil engineer, about the 9/11 controlled demolition theory and he broke down the physics in a way I couldn't ignore.

Showerthought: I used to just grab random prompts online, but then I tried writing from a single object for a month.

For years I'd scroll through big prompt lists and never finish anything. Last month, I picked up a weird brass key I found at a flea market in Austin and wrote a different 500-word story about it every single day. The constraint forced way more creativity than any 'write about a dragon in a coffee shop' prompt ever did. The key became a spaceship ignition, a memory unlocker, a cursed heirloom. Has anyone else had better luck with a super specific starting point versus general prompts?

Hot take: my bullet journal saved me from a total meltdown last Tuesday

I had three project deadlines, a sick kid, and a flat tire all hit at once, and my usual digital calendar just showed a solid wall of red. I sat down with my journal, used the rapid logging method to brain dump every single task, and it turned a chaotic mess into 17 clear, small steps I could actually do. Has anyone else had a week where physically writing it all down was the only thing that kept you sane?

My plan to get 100 newsletter signups in a month completely failed, but somehow I just hit 50.

It took me six months of quietly fixing my content after that first flop, and seeing that number today felt like a quiet nod that sticking with it was the right call, even when the original plan was wrong.

My email list hit 500 subscribers this morning and I'm kind of shocked

I started it six months ago with just my friends and family, maybe 30 people. I've been sending a weekly newsletter about small business tips, nothing fancy. The jump happened after I put a simple sign-up form on my website's contact page last month. I guess people actually want the content. Has anyone else seen a big change from one small tweak like that?

Spent $80 on a 'universal' collet set that ended up being way out of spec, scrapped two parts before I figured it out.

My neighbor told me she never preheats her oven for cookies, and my mind is blown
