Article: When you make the appointment, indicate what time of day and what day of the week will work for you. To be sensitive to a pet owner's needs, veterinarians will typically schedule a euthanasia at the end of the day, when there are no other appointments.  The day of the week will also be important. You may want to schedule the euthanasia for the end of the week, when you will have the weekend to process what happened and start the grieving process. If you know the euthanasia will be hard for you, bring someone with you to the appointment. Check with them before making the appointment to make sure they will be available. Check with your local health department about home burials for pets. Local laws may not allow pet owners to bury their pets in their yards. If you live in an apartment, or in the heart of a city, it is unlikely that you will be able to bury your hamster.  Your veterinarian can recommend professional pet burial or crematory services. Contact them  before  your appointment so those arrangements can already be in place. Your veterinarian may also work with a pet burial or cremation service. Your hamster may be very sick, but he will probably appreciate you spending time with him in his final days. Although you may feel sad, or maybe even guilty about having him euthanized, do your best to remain calm around him. He could pick up on whatever you are feeling, so stay as positive as possible. No matter how much you have prepared yourself for putting your hamster to sleep, the actual act of having your hamster euthanized may be difficult for you. Your veterinarian will make sure the euthanasia will be quick, painless, and peaceful for your hamster.  Your veterinarian will most likely administer a lethal injection into your hamster's belly and your hamster will pass away as a result. Your veterinarian will check your hamster for a pulse to ensure that he has passed away. It is your decision whether you want to be in the room for the euthanasia. Some pet owners cannot stand the thought of seeing their pet euthanized, and others want to be close to their beloved pet until the very end. It is also your choice in how to say goodbye to your hamster. You may want to say a few things to him before and after he has passed on. It is up to you.

Article: Don't think about your interview or the stress you’re under. Focus instead on how you’re feeling physically, and let your mind go as blank as possible for a few moments.  It’s best to do this in a quiet place, although you can practice focusing on your breathing just about anywhere. You can even do this exercise in the waiting room just before your interview, although you may not want to close your eyes. Avoid shallow breathing as much as you can, keeping your eyes closed. You don’t want to just fill your chest with air, but feel the air going in through your nose and all the way down into your belly.  It may take several minutes for your breathing to slow down and become steady. If you’re having trouble breathing deeply, it can be helpful to mentally count to 5 with each inhale (making sure you’re intake of air lasts the full 5 seconds), and count another 5 with each exhale. Go for something soothing or uplifting to ensure you're in a good headspace right before the interview. Avoid anything melancholy and opt for inspiring tunes that fill your head with positive energy and excitement. You can also listen to podcasts or speeches that inspire you. Staying aware of your posture will immediately help you appear more confident and relaxed, even if you aren't feeling that way inside. Stand or sit up straight, lift your chin, and keep your head level to achieve a power pose. Remember to keep your arms loose and at your sides. Try to avoid crossing your arms, which can create a negative vibe. Being in a rush will only make you feel more frazzled, so plan to arrive early. You don't necessarily even have to go into the building early, but it helps to already be there. Try to avoid showing up to the interview itself more than 10 minutes early, since this may cause your interviewer to feel pressured.

Close your eyes and try to clear your mind. Breathe slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Listen to your favorite music to help you calm down. Stand up straight for a confidence boost. Arrive to the interview early.
Article: If only your hot water taps have low pressure, look for a problem at your water heater. Here are the most common problems:  Sediment clogging the water heater or the hot water supply line. flush the tank, then hire a plumber if that doesn't work. To prevent this happening again, replace the anode rod regularly and consider Installing a water softener. Hot water supply pipes that are too small. In most cases the pipe leading from your water heater should have at least a ¾" (19mm) diameter. Leaks in the valves or the tank itself. Only attempt to repair these yourself if the leak is minor and you have experience with plumbing projects. Leaks are a common cause of low pressure. Conduct a quick check for damp spots beneath pipes, especially at the main supply line. Fix any leaky pipes you encounter.  Small damp spots may be caused by condensation. Put down a couple paper towels and come back the next day to see if they are wet. If they are, you have a problem. A leaky toilet mechanism fails to block the flow from the tank to the bowl. Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank, and come back after an hour or two without flushing the toilet. If the food coloring has entered the bowl, your toilet needs a repair. Typically, all it needs is a new flapper or another cheap and easy fix. If you can hear your toilet running constantly, that's definitely a drain on your pressure. Learn how to fix it. If you still haven't found any leaks, it's time to check your water meter to confirm or deny their existence. Shut off all water in the house, then read the meter. There are two ways to check for leaks using the meter:  If the small triangular or disk-shaped dial on the meter is spinning, water is still flowing. Assuming everything is shut off properly, you have a leak. Write down the reading, wait a couple hours without using any water, then check again. If you get a different reading, you have a leak. Look for the master shutoff valve near your water meter. If it's been knocked to a partially closed position, turn it back to fully open. This is rarely the problem, but it only takes a few minutes to test. Homes on low ground often have a PRV installed where the line enters the building. This valve, usually shaped like a bell, reduces the supply of water to a safe pressure for your building. On a typical model, you can turn the screw or knob at the top of the PRV clockwise to increase water pressure. It's best to turn this only a couple times, keeping track of the number of turns. Going too far can damage your plumbing.  If adjusting the PRV doesn't make any difference, shut off the water supply and disassemble the valve. You may need to replace a part or the entire valve, or just clean the parts. Finding manufacturer instructions is recommended. Not all homes have a PRV, especially if the city water supply is low pressure or the building is on high ground. If your home has a water softener installed, try setting it to "bypass." If the pressure improves, have someone inspect your softener for issues.
