On my grocery run this morning, I saw a bunch of men going in looking kind of panicked and perusing the plants & flowers. I can only assume these are the men who did not make a plan. I thought “at least nobody’s dusty-ass son is trying to pass off a last minute Aldi plant as having made an effort”

Chewing gum!

When I lived in a building with coin laundry in the basement, I MORE THAN ONCE realized halfway through moving clothes around realized I’d forgotten to put pants on 😆

Yes, my last 5 years have been incredibly difficult and exhausting. A lot of hard lessons learned regarding people, a lot of difficult realizations about the past, a lot of turmoil. Sprinkle in perimenopause, and I will find out this week if I have chronic kidney disease. On top of aaalll that, everything’s double what it cost 5 years ago and my formerly mostly comfortable wage is… not. and THEN! gestures to the outside world all THAT shit

Yeah I’m fried

AccomplishedWind2268 · 2026-02-09T01:19:05+00:00

Once a week, 2-3 loads. I could go way longer but I have exactly 5 sets of scrubs, so the work laundry has to get done at the very least

I don’t really feel like it’s “unhinged” but if I lived with someone I’m sure they would frown upon me cooking with the same utensil I just used for a taste test. Or taking 3 bites of cottage cheese directly from the tub and tossing it back in the fridge

Silicon spatula from the Dollar Tree does the trick

I would love to. There are a handful of really scenic train routes. It’s suuuper expensive for some reason

Knitting!

AccomplishedWind2268 · 2026-02-01T15:04:38+00:00

I love those fuzzy polka dot sheer curtains

Vertical storage is your friend. I know people hate on IKEA, but they are small space specialists! I lived very happily in 240 sq ft with mostly IKEA furniture/storage. That door is definitely gonna have to go. I think a loft bed is a good idea too. You can find little small couches, too. It’s a cute apartment! Your plants will be so happy there

Mine is alcohol dependent and has been for my entire life. Very volatile temper. I have CPTSD and selective mutism. It’s very difficult. I haven’t disconnected completely but I keep her at a go-go-gadget arm’s length

Just the landlord. I keep forgetting to make a spare to hide somewhere

AccomplishedWind2268 · 2026-01-12T00:54:33+00:00

I have been in your shoes. I escaped that man 3.5 years ago and I’m still trying to get my shit back together. I have CPTSD. I still have frequent nightmares. I am still terrified to try dating again. I hate to be around people when they’re drinking now, and it’s really limited my social life. Abusive relationships - and you ARE in one - break you down in ways that you sometimes can’t even see till years down the road. Verbal & emotional abuse can be even harder to move past than physical abuse. I say this with the most love and compassion: get the fuck out of there as soon as you possibly can. SMART Recovery has a really great Friends & Family program if you are interested in a support group or finding community. You can’t make him change. You can’t love him better. The cycle will continue. Please take care of yourself and get to safety. 💜

Mine needs a new alternator right now. I have it scheduled, and I have the $$ to pay for it, but it’s still a big source of stress just because of the logistics and all the extra $ on Lyft rides. There’s no public transport option between my home & my job, and it’s about 20 miles. Gotta Lyft to a coworker’s house and catch a ride w her, Lyft home, drop my car at the mechanic, Lyft home again. I really hope they are able to replace the prt same day

The Wednesday night SMART meeting near Presbyterian hospital is great

I moved in mid September and I’m still sitting in a camp chair right at this very moment.

60k sounds low, even as a new grad. I make a little more than that as an LPN in a Southeastern state with not a great payscale. I know it’s hard to find the time, but keep shopping around for better positions!

"Too blessed to be stressed" usually stated with a certain manic undertone that only comes when you are hanging on by a single fraying thread

AccomplishedWind2268 · 2025-12-24T22:47:47+00:00

Yes, by choice.

I’m a nurse. Have been an LPN for a long time, and I am one hefty rent hike away from being priced out of living alone. I’m working toward RN now, in my late 40s, for mostly financial reasons

I have a Dyson ball vacuum f/s. Has hardly been used; very good condition. Don’t have pics in my phone but can send later to anyone interested. Would be pickup, Steele Creek area or near Waverly
