Went back for eight months to be near family and it was the right call. The version of me that came back had much clearer reasons for going.

Cooks in batches on Sundays and can hit her protein target without touching a shaker.
Six months for me, and it was specifically fingering. I stopped having to work out which finger goes where, because the scale had already decided it.
The monitoring framing fits exactly. I always thought it was the talking, but I can talk for two hours to one person and feel fine.
Agreed. I downgraded trim to get the camera and reversing sensors and it is the option I notice most, daily.
Do the FBA on paper, then make the toile out of an old sheet before you touch the good fabric. One shot at cutting is exactly when you want the ugly practice version.
Learned this from a colleague who took notes constantly and I assumed she was very diligent. She told me it was purely so she would stop talking over people.
Forward shoulder was my answer after years of blaming necklines. Moved the seam 1cm and three separate fit problems vanished at once.
Also try counting out loud while playing. It feels ridiculous and it is very hard to rush while your own voice is keeping time.
Whatever you pick, stop at the first correct answer she gets on her own rather than consolidating with three more. Ending on a win is most of what makes her willing to sit down tomorrow.
Redid it with a scooped armhole and 3.5cm bicep ease. I can reach the top shelf now. Bodice stayed put.
Worth separating fatigue from pain. Tiredness that resolves after a rest is one thing; anything sharp, or numbness or tingling in the fingers, is a stop and get it looked at properly by a physiotherapist or a doctor. And if you can stretch to two or three lessons even as a committed self taught player, a teacher watching your arm for an hour will spot in five minutes what a forum cannot see at all.
Fourteen months, with a toddler and a car that kept needing things. It stalled twice and went backwards once. It still got there, and the thing I would tell six weeks ago me is that the timeline does not matter nearly as much as not zeroing it out. Slow and intact beats fast and repeatedly raided.
