Fucking Allodynia, man

Been sleeping like crap for a few reasons. Today I did a lot of cleaning and although I took my vitamins and Aleve they are not helping. I cleaned for a couple hours today and now my skin feels like it’s being covered in acid. 😭 wtf.

Checking in!

How are you doing today?

I’m not doing so great due to some cold that’s passing around at home, plus it’s hot outside and inside is freezing (AC on), so I’m in great pain. I over exerted myself cleaning yesterday (every damn week) but trying to manage.

Positive is that my coffee this morning was decent and I fixed one of my stuffies today, he had a big hole in his arm. Not sure I sewed the correct way, technically, but it’s secure and I’m sure he feels better. 💙🪡
I was going to attempt to sew clothing for another one of my stuffies, but the brain fog and fatigue hit so now I’m just sitting here typing this.

Help! His stitching is broken and I don’t have a sewing kit (or know how to sew at all)

My favorite stuffed animal that’s one of a kind is falling apart at the seam between his neck and shoulder, and there is a hole on his hand. :,(

I ate ice cream without the seal and fought the intrusive contamination thoughts!

Food/contamination OCD is a huge battle for me more often than not. However, just now I ate some ice cream from a carton (look it’s been a LONG week..lmao) that didn’t have that seal.

Push

Ever been in a flare and pushed to go out and do something “productive” in weather that’s fucking agonizing because you’re “being lazy”?

Just a rant.

I haven’t been sleeping great, and I’m extra irritable because of my period. I pushed myself yesterday by deep cleaning, doing laundry, and trying to figure out medical insurance crap. So today my skin hurts and I’m exhausted. I got a new brand of melatonin but the pills are unmarked so that’s messing with my contamination OCD. I tried twice to take it last night and couldn’t bring myself to, which pissed me off because even though I know I’m the one that opened the bottle, fear stopped me.; so I didn’t fall asleep til 1 am, the woke up extra early at 6:45, (I have to, otherwise I get berated for sleeping in.) had coffee and was on hold with insurance for a while. I finally got it sorted out. But jeez, I’ve been waiting almost two months for my damn heath insurance card and they said it would take 45 days at most. Turns out they never even mailed it out because of an error in their system, and had to enter it manually. 😤
Anyway, my brain fog is extra bad right now, and I have a hard time following verbal directions but my family wanted to play a board game. I hate learning new games. It’s too overwhelming and I don’t have the patience. While the rules were getting explained to me, I guess I was making a face because I couldn’t follow along. Well then I got told that I’m “choosing to be overwhelmed instead of just listening to the explanation.” The fuck does that mean? But yeah, it’s my fault for being disabled too I guess. I fucking can’t with the ableist bullshit around here. God forbid I show any discomfort, or have a bad day.

(Medi-Cal) Approved in March; still haven’t received packet or card in mail yet.

My caseworker changed/was removed about a month ago and I haven’t been able to get a hold of anyone on the phone so far; it’s been over 45 days since I was approved for Medi-Cal. I should have received the packet last week, according to my calendar.
There haven’t been any updates or notices on my BenefitsCal account.

Does it usually take this long??

Hi! So I was added to a Family Sharing account. The cards listed on the Organizer’s (my brother’s) account are no longer in use. They said they got logged out and all their card info was removed. They are experiencing the same issue. I just set up my new iPad and signed into my account, even though I added and verified my personal bank card, it’s still requiring me to verify the unusable card info, which we do not have. Can anyone help?

Marinated with 3 tbsp gochujang, 4 tbsp gochugaru flakes (I’m sure the finer powder is standard but I didn’t think to grind them, like a dummy.), 1 tbsp fresh garlic, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce and ~ 1/2 tbsp black pepper. I forgot a pear. :c But I hope it turns out good.

I was passing thru Claremont CA and got lunch at Dr. Grubb’s. The lemon garlic sauce is so good I could drink it (not really, lol). Their website doesn’t list the ingredients, and the staff don’t want to share the recipe but it’s very garlicky with a hint of lemon. It’s fluffier in texture, maybe whipped. I of course looks online to no avail. If it’s too secret, I get it. Buuuut I’m still hoping.

As someone with very limited palette (I couldn’t tell you what herbs are in a sauce, unless there’s a lot) and an average home cook, can someone maybe give me ideas on how to replicate it if you’ve had it?

My skin is on fiiiiiire and everything hurts. I haven’t been eating enough, and I’ve been doing a lot of housework (really just basic cleaning/mopping/dishes), and I believe that’s a big factor in my pain level increase. The weather has been weird too, it was cold and rainy and now it’s sunny but still cold.

Hi, it’s my first time making spicy beef bulgogi; Super King only had the bibmbap gochujang. Is it ok to use? Should I just add extra gochugaru? Thank you!
Sincerely, an inexperienced cook.

The water in our complex is hard. Someone on this sub suggested adding Borax to the washer.
So would it be safe/ok to use Borax and an enzyme booster (maybe FEBU?) in the drum? (They’re front loaders), and use 365 Sport detergent?
