He sends me TikToks, and we watch them together, which helps us stay connected. TikTok and Instagram have allowed me to continue communicating with my kid even when the sound of my voice is annoying. Related storiesWe watch videos togetherI have shared custody, so I see him every other week. He sometimes sends videos from school or at night after I've gone to bed so we have daily content to watch. I send him funny videos of parents teaching their kids to drive, and he sends them back to me.

I shop at Aldi every other week and avoid ultra-processed foods. Go to newsletter preferences Thanks for signing up! I'm in my 50s and try to avoid foods with long ingredient lists and additives I can't identify, so I don't buy ultra-processed foods like candy bars and soda. Some research even suggests that consuming ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Though it's hard to avoid ultra-processed foods completely, I do my best to buy minimally processed items.

She was my best friend and now celebrating holidays like Mother's Day hurt so much. AdvertisementOnly two years ago, Mother's Day was a wonderful, beautiful holiday.

Related storiesI was there every day of her nightmarish 50-day stay, visiting the hospital twice a day to meet with her medical team. No holiday has been the same since 2022 and Mother's Day is particularly painful.

☆ I used my credit card to pay for fertility treatments. It took years to pay the debt off, but I don't regret it.

AdvertisementThat's when I turned to credit cards to pay for my fertility treatments. AdvertisementMy credit became the answer we neededI got an offer in the mail from a credit card company. At my "advanced maternal age," I had less than a 40% chance of IVF success. I didn't have the available credit to keep writing credit card checks. While it ended up taking several years to pay off the debt because I quit the second job after I had the baby, I have no regrets about using credit to pay for my fertility treatments.

Then we got a new department head; we did not get along. AdvertisementA few days later, my direct manager said I was being put on a performance-improvement plan due to shoddy work. I arrived super early to every meeting, "cheerfully" offered ideas, and stepped up whenever the new department head asked who wanted a task. I worked nights, weekends, and holidays at the expense of my family. Two months in, the department head pleasantly remarked how hard I'd been grinding.

When I got a new department head at work, I was forced onto a performance plan. Even though I was already doing a great job, I worked extra hard on nights and weekends. Then we got a new department head; we did not get along. I arrived super early to every meeting, "cheerfully" offered ideas, and stepped up whenever the new department head asked who wanted a task. Two months in, the department head pleasantly remarked how hard I'd been grinding.

☆ For these Americans, the recession is already here
  + stars: | 2023-07-03 | by ( Krystal Hur Bryan Mena | Krystal Hur | Bryan Mena | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Wall Street bankers, investors and economists have for months waffled over whether a US recession is coming. But for some Americans, the unforgiving economic pain typical during recession has already set in. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of economic output, so if more Americans are forced to cut back because they were laid off, that might throw the US economy into a recession. Bank of America Chief Executive Brian Moynihan told CNN last week that he expects a mild recession early next year, rather than the late 2022 recession many have predicted. That means that laid-off Americans were often able to find a new job quickly due to a hot job market.

☆ Patients got used to emailing their doctors with health questions during the pandemic. Now hospitals are charging them.

Hospitals are charging patients for their emails and other correspondence with doctors. Some hospital officials say the strategy increases healthcare access, but advocates worry charges could deter patients who need care. Hospitals nationwide have begun to charge for emails and other correspondence with their doctors, the Associated Press reported. After Covid led patients to avoid crowded hospitals and waiting rooms, and condense what used to be in-person visits to emails and video calls, hospitals say doctors spent more time responding to health question emails and messages, the Associated Press reported. But advocates worry the strategy will lead patients to avoid seeking care when they need it, for fear of being charged.
