And I, for one, am sick of it. The rain around the north side of GSO tonight literally seemed to just evaporate despite the wind, thunder, and lightning. It’s actually impressive.
Lately I feel like a damn onion. I keep pulling back layers to try to figure out what’s wrong with me, find a problem, attempt to address it, and then find another one because things still aren’t good. I just want to shake something. For the love of god, how many fucking “root problems” can I possibly have. Calling it adhd is wildly insufficient. It’s more like inattentive space case, with some sort of hyper mobility issues, hey maybe mcas is getting you too, did you check your ferritin/b12/vitamin d because they’re probably low, getting one autoimmune disease probably breeds another, I need a nap and a mood reset disorder. I also have chronic migraines and that seems to be the only thing that some “new study” isn’t linking to my adhd. * *
I also had to fire my PCP earlier this year. It was a whole thing. She was out of touch and old school but she ran a tight ship and things were always promptly taken care of (prescriptions, tests, referrals). Found a new doctor who is up to date on all the research. She doesn’t think I’m crazy when I start sentences by saying “I’ve heard that it’s really common for women with adhd to have this issue.” It’s amazing. But she works in a giant conglomerate healthcare system and it’s a freaking nightmare. I am too damn tired to need to log into MyChart and emotionally wrestle with whether or not I’m pestering her when I’m like uh hey weren’t I supposed to have a prescription to pick up? Any idea where that might have gone?
Anyone else having this same pity party today? Please commiserate with me 😭
I was just reading through the red alert post about Tide discontinuing a fragrance. And the OP is emphatic that original scent tide smells like kitty litter and others have said that to them, as well as a few in the thread agreeing.
I use the powdered tide from Costco. We own two cats. And now I’m horrified at the idea that I’m nose blind to kitty litter smells and everyone thinks my laundry stinks?! I made a new thread because I need more than the OP of that thread to see my comment and let me know if I need to stop using this detergent ASAP.
I generally don’t think there’s much remaining fragrance at all once the clothes are finished in the dryer. I’m usually very sensitive to fragrances and the fact that it’s pretty much gone is why I can stand using it. (I know it’s not gone completely because I have to use a free and clear on my sheets, otherwise I can smell it for a day or two if I forget and use the original scent on my pillowcases)
Edit: I’m going to switch to free and clear. Despite being pretty sure the fragrance doesn’t linger (or I wouldn’t use it!), I can’t tolerate the idea of it smelling like a litter box to even a small subset of the population. I used to know someone that smelled like that to me (which is not how this tide smells to me) and it’s pretty much the only thing I remember about her. Poor kid. Don’t want that to be my kids!
A couple of weeks ago someone asked for some recommendations for Australian (or New Zealand) period dramas. There seemed to be lots of interesting choices and I’ve saved the post to reference later!
But I decided to start with A Place to Call Home. I somehow thought I was going to get a nice “slice of life” type show about this Aussie nurse returning home. LOL. I mean, you do get plenty of daily life, but it is surrounded by the juiciest drama. I’m *obssesed* with it. I’m having to keep my husband updated on my “Aussie soap opera” because I have to have someone to talk to about it haha.
But anyway, I was wondering if others that have already watched it could possibly give me a heads up for any episodes that include violent sexual assault? >!I have already seen what happened to Sarah when she was imprisoned in Ravensbruk during season two.!< That was awful but luckily very brief and not terribly graphic. But anything like what happened in Downton Abbey (or worse) I should be aware of? It took me a couple of years to get back to watching DA after that episode, would like to avoid that happening again.
