Girl that’s why your light bill is so high- you should keep your ac on 72 all the time and try using a fan at night. When you put the ac on 76 then turn it down to 68 the ac has to use more power to cool the house if you keep it at a set temp it uses less power. I used to do what you do and my bill was always over $300 but once i started leaving it at 72 it went down tremendously
that makes sense!! we started doing this (and tbh it’s what we used to do in apartments but it’s been so weird navigating our ac system bc it’s 2 thermostats/1 unit and it can get confusing). thank you!
Check your a/c filter and coils. Dirty filters can make it harder for your a/c to run properly and can cause your bills to go up. Setting your a/c below 72 can cause issues for your a/c and could also be a culprit for the high bill. You could also run into issues with frozen coils. Texas heat and trying to keep your house that cold is going to run up your bills quickly. For a bill that high you might want to call an a/c professional to see if anything is going wrong.
we may have to look into that if it isn’t better this month! we have 2 thermostats and 1 unit (pancake system) & we find it so much harder to heat/cool compared to when we were in an apartment lol. thank you!
Congrats on your promotion! And super glad you haven’t gotten carpal tunnel yet. I got a nerve test done and was diagnosed last year w it and it’s rough but non-inflammatory diets and physical therapy based exercises along w wearing a brace as needed definitely have helped! So happy for all the blessings you’re receiving!❤
thank you!! and i’m sorry to hear that, that stinks but i’m glad those things have helped. i’ve def noticed the few exercises i’ve been doing helping too!!
goooo abby!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 i work from home and noticed when i put my elbows up on my desk to hold my phone/scroll is when my tingling got kind of bad! also push days at the gym! i will get tingly in my pinky finger/ring finger too! doing ulnar nerve stretches has helped!!❤❤
Congratulations on the promotion! You really do deserve it, and I am sure you will do a great job! Could you do an updated what's in my bag video for your in-office workbag? I am starting my first corporate job in a highrise downtown position. I would love to see what you bring in with you and if you could talk about getting over being nervous about going in-office for this kind of job it would be super helpful. I feel like you have a lot of good insight for the new grads starting jobs and internships after the summer. Also, I have loved watching you grow as a person over the years. I enjoyed your college content a lot, but I also really love getting to watch another person in their 20s grow into themselves and start a family. Thank you for always being so honest and vulnerable with us. It really helps to see that other people who look like they have it all together from the outside don't feel that way every day. Every time I try to express these feelings to people they all tell me I'm crazy or that I am doing amazing and will succeed at whatever I put my mind to, and while it can be nice to hear, it also can be overwhelming. I feel heard and seen when I watch your videos because you show us your real life. So thank you.
thank you so so much for all of your kind words and support, it means the world!! i’m so glad you feel heard & seen in this community, that’s truly all i want at the end of the day 🧡 best wishes to you and your new position! i actually posted a whats in my bag reel on my instagram & tiktok a month or two ago if you have those apps ☺️
I would try keeping your house at a set temperature rather than one for the day and the night to lower your bill. At nighttime your AC will have to work harder to drop the temperature quickly, versus keeping it at a steady temp all day.
that’s what we’ve been doing the last few weeks and hoping it helps! that’s how we used to do things in our apartment so we’ve just had to get used to sleeping a little warm lol
I recommend seeing your primary care physician for a detailed neurological exam of the arm and they can direct treatment or refer to other physician specialists as needed
Hey thank you so much for sharing your day to day! I’m currently a junior going to be a senior next year. I’m majoring in accounting & plan on doing more school to qualify for the CPA exam. How long did it take you to promote to senior? Also, CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🙏 also, I do appreciate you being so authentic! Don’t ever let other people discourage you from that!❤
awe of course - hope your senior year goes well and best wishes to you! i promoted to senior after a year and 8 months which is normal for my firm! most people promote either around that time or at 2 years. and thank you for your kind words and support 💛
I’m a chiropractic student and It could be cubital tunnel that you are dealing with. Same idea as carpal tunnel but located in the elbow. An occupational therapist may be able to help!
OT student here! Yes it sounds like cubital tunnel syndrome since it's affecting you from elbow down and on the particular side of the hand you were describing (it's a compression of your ulnar nerve). Might wanna consider splinting or using a cushion under your elbow!
can totally relate with the carpal tunnel feelings lol, mine also used to be every now and then and now it’s pretty constant too. what has helped me is ice, KT tape (there’s videos on youtube of the right way to tape it), and an ergonomic mousepad. let’s hope it gets better for both of us 😅
Hey I’m an occupational therapist, look into cubital tunnel syndrome! The area you pointed at and your symptoms lead me more to cubital tunnel vs carpal tunnel, carpal tunnel typically just occurs at the wrist and hand.
you should check out some ulnar nerve glides! they may help with the symptoms you're experiencing with cubital tunnel syndrome. It may be worth looking into your office set up too and making sure your elbows are always at a 90 degree angle! -from a physical therapy student :)
What you may be experiencing with your arm and hand tingling is cubical tunnel syndrome. I’ve struggled with it for 2 years. It’s characterized by tingling down from elbow to your hands (kinda feels like you’ve hit your funny bone) It is very triggered by repetitive bending of your elbow. I saw a hand doctor and got a sleeping brace and exercises. I would see sooner than later. Sorry you’re dealing with this!
Hey Abby , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
I am not a doctor, but I just wanted to let you know I went to the chiropractor for the numb feeling in my hand (happened when, like you, I was sitting at the computer all day and working out daily). They were able to fix it entirely! Maybe you could try that first?
Ciao Abby... Sei molto carina ma devo dirti che non guardavo i tuoi video da un poco di tempo e sei diventata molto tonica e muscolosa ma non posso non notare che mi sembri molto stanca. Spero che tu stia bene
if something makes me feel less anxious, i’m going to do it. i wasn’t complaining about it, just lightheartedly sharing that its my toxic trait. we’re all different
I feel this sooo hard! Even tho I don’t want to care, to sleep at night I need to know slightly what my day will look like tomorrow, gotta do whatever to soothe the brain🫡✨
Congratulations Abby!! That promotion is really cool! You deserve it, you've put so much work into this job!
thank you so much!
@@AbbyAsselin🎉🎉
I do the same thing with checking my work phone! Need to know what to expect the next day at work in order to relax
yesss it’s literally a step in my routine to enjoy my day before work 😅🤣
Girl that’s awesome I am so proud of you you deserve this sooo much you are so hard working and I admire that❤
thank you!!
so happy for you Abby. you really deserve that promotion ❤

I had cubital tunnel syndrome from catching a patient in the hospital, I’m a nurse. Definitely see an OT.
that’s what i was thinking it was when i was self diagnosing through the internet hahaha. i def will look into seeing an OT & using a cushion!
can totally relate with the carpal tunnel feelings lol, mine also used to be every now and then and now it’s pretty constant too. what has helped me is ice, KT tape (there’s videos on youtube of the right way to tape it), and an ergonomic mousepad. let’s hope it gets better for both of us 😅
i’ll have to try icing/KT tape!! yes fingers crossed 😅
I do the saaaaaame with checking the day before I go back! Better for me to know what I’m getting into 🤣
yupppp it eases the nerves 🤣
Abby your vlogs are too too too satisfying and beautiful you are my inspiration and I wish you have a wonderful weekend💫😀💕
thank you, you too!
Hey I’m an occupational therapist, look into cubital tunnel syndrome! The area you pointed at and your symptoms lead me more to cubital tunnel vs carpal tunnel, carpal tunnel typically just occurs at the wrist and hand.

Can you can do Week in the Life showing your office and what you do in the office?
i can’t really show detail about what i do because i deal w a lot of confidential info :(
Congrats on the promotion!! I can’t believe how far you have come 🥲
thank you 🥹
You seem so much more at peace!!
💓 time off definitely helps!

Love love love your videos! I am also wedding planning. When is your big day?

@@AbbyAsselin that’s when I got engaged. This past NYE at midnight!
omg that’s amazing!!! 🥺
congrats on your promotion! I hope it helps you like your job a lil more lol
thank you!!!
Try a little wrist brace at night. It solved it for me. Plus Arnica cream and tablets of course. ❤❤
good to know, thank you!!
I always hate the first day back after vacation even if I take an extra day off I between
ugh yes it’s so hard to get through

Hey Abby
❤❤
Omg a $600 utility bill I’m so sorry
it’s highway robbery 😭
Ciao Abby... Sei molto carina ma devo dirti che non guardavo i tuoi video da un poco di tempo e sei diventata molto tonica e muscolosa ma non posso non notare che mi sembri molto stanca. Spero che tu stia bene
First
Girly, nothing you do at work is so important you need to check on vacation. Why do that to yourself just to complain about it 😮💨🙄
if something makes me feel less anxious, i’m going to do it. i wasn’t complaining about it, just lightheartedly sharing that its my toxic trait. we’re all different
I feel this sooo hard! Even tho I don’t want to care, to sleep at night I need to know slightly what my day will look like tomorrow, gotta do whatever to soothe the brain🫡✨
I didn't take it as complaining at all. Everybody feels stress differently. And everybody handles it differently!
