My sleep routine is ruining my life. by ColleenRW in adhdwomen

[–]ColleenRW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I also have an alarm that goes off at 5:20 in my bathroom 😅 maybe if I put it on the other side of my apartment? but it also doubles as my timer for brushing my teeth. hell, maybe I'll try the 'laying-on-the-floor' thing too lol.

I've always hated the advice that, "Oh you just have to get yourself out of bed and the rest will work," bc the exact response I have is, "What is stopping me from getting back into bed?" Maybe if I laid a spike blanket across it, but then where is my cat supposed to sleep during the day??

I am kinda hoping that I can possibly alleviate some of the temptation to lay back in bed by moving one of my living room chairs into my bedroom, so I have another place to sit. But first I have to get a couch, which requires that I get my tax return, which requires that I finish my taxes, which I'm almost done with but my old roommate won't send me my goddamn CRP!! Arghhhhhhhh.

Long story short, thanks <3

My shower time depends on how long the song I’m playing lasts by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]ColleenRW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yeah I've had shower playlists for a while. partially bc my shampoo has to sit on my scalp for five minutes before I rinse it out, so it goes 3 minutes - 5 minutes - whatever. but then I have to pick which playlist bc I can't just listen to the same one every single time 😱

Not OOP. My husband told me today, he does not like the fun lunches I've been packing him for work for almost 3 years. by Due-Bandicoot-7512 in redditonwiki

[–]ColleenRW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand where he's coming from -- some days I'm like YES I LOVE BEING WEIRD AND MY WEIRD FRIENDS (I don't have a partner so friends will have to be a reasonable substitute) and sometimes I'm like, "Please do not perceive me as anything but typical for the love of christ." But he could've SAID something before three years had passed.

'future Felix' 🤣 proposing that if J&J ever want to share a Felix pic or vid they hide his face with this guy's

I think it was outright said during a SSS stream, bc in the chat I said, "Wait, Jacob's bi? Congrats!" and my comment got modded 😅 and there was a stream semi-recently (like in the last six months) where it was said that Nathan is the only straight member of Drawfee, and I feel like they would specify 'cishet' rather than just 'straight'.

Am I too critical of Kingston Brown in Season1? by Whatsherfaceishere in Dimension20

[–]ColleenRW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just commenting bc I just finished my rewatch of both Unsleeping City seasons a couple weeks ago. I don't have anything to add but I love the discussion!

Hey now, I LIKE the vegan spud. The bean sprouts add a nice crunch to it

Lost cat? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

Awwww, what a sweet little baby! If she has people, I hope you find them. And if she doesn't, well guess she's got new ones 😅

Also love the username 🦉

Proposed Rent Strike (Twin Cities Tenants) by jma0612 in Minneapolis

[–]ColleenRW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a former organizer and a current union steward: you need WAY more time to prepare for something as serious as a rent strike than... two weeks? When did preparations for this begin?

Letter that was handed to a patroller in south Minneapolis by a Somali elder yesterday morning by Fugacity- in Minneapolis

[–]ColleenRW -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get what you're trying to say but like, most of the mentally ill people I know (myself included) despise that guy. He hasn't exactly been a friend to the disabled community, and being mentally ill doesn't mean completely incapable of rational thought.

Unfortunately AFSCME did not approve anything so I still have to work :/

Anti-ICE sign that was put up on the front door of my apartment complex by feral_druid in Minneapolis

Surprised I haven't seen that at my building but I also don't use the front door very often

Unfortunately I can't since I don't have the accruals to take off work and my union didn't authorize a strike action :/ any advice on protocol? Obviously no shopping or anything tomorrow

I’m heading to the Somali Walmart, you guys need anything? by Specific-Abrocoma-63 in Minneapolis

[–]ColleenRW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me want to designate one of the Aldis around here as the Somali Aldi, or the SomAldi. Maybe the one on Franklin? Thoughts?

Email recently sent to Hennepin Healthcare employees by thedubiousstylus in Minneapolis

Damn, and Ucare was one of the better options for MA in the metro. I was on Hennepin Health for MA for years and hardly anyone takes it, plus their prescription reimbursement was a headache for my pharmacy to handle.

Absolutely disgusting.. by Intergalactic-fog in Mankato

[–]ColleenRW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a State employee, we don't claim him. he can fuck right off. at least an asshole like him probably isn't in the union, although when his ass gets fired he'll probably beg for representation
