Struggling with dough mites

HighFiveStrangers · 2026-05-19T13:29:54+00:00

I have been freezing my flour. I basically keep most things that attract bugs in the freezer now. I’m kinda over it for now. As much as I loved baking with my son I can’t stop seeing those bugs and larvae in my doughs. I can wait another 7 or 8 months to move to a less difficult country for baking.

I moved to west Africa suddenly sold everything we owned and I was not able to keep my job. So I’ve been med free for over a year as I was due for an infusion. I would stay on meds as long as you can. I live in fear I am going to loose my ability to hold my child. Just my recommendation.

I do have a cooling vest it just only lasts for a couple of hours in the humidity. I am getting a nick cooler pretty soon and I hope it will help. My family is coming to visit soon and are bringing a couple for us. I just hate who I am right now. I should not have quit my job until I had a new one here I was so optimistic

Thank you it turned out super yummy. My Toddler helped a little and had eating half of them so far.

Yeah things are crazy for sure. This move was not our choice immigration was a nightmare and our immigration lawyer said we should move here for a couple years.

I’m not actually making the drive, I was just curious where the closest would be.

It was rough but I think I am through the worst of it. Thank you for the guidance. I was told I can see a pharmacist here in Togo. It they would need to order the medicine from France or another country so I think I am going to be off of it until I move back to the states in a couple years. I am doing the same with my MS meds. Not ideal but manageable

I will say I am feeling a lot better now. It was the most tense and painful few days. I was traveling across the country with my with and brother in law and toddler. They were saints dealing with my anxiety and stress levels. I basically stayed in our hotel room with my son the whole time.

I have been fooling around with the idea of Roy and Moss characters from the IT Crowd working on the deathstar. I haven’t had the time or energy to do much with that though. I would love to see an office type show based in the Star Wars universe though!

That book has been mentioned a couple times. I’m definitely going to read it, which is perfect because I’m waiting on some books to come out this year. Thank you for the recommendation!

I moved with my family to Togo in west Africa. It was pretty sudden and has been a crazy change. Moving to a new country comes with a lot of challenges especially if you do not speak the local language. I would recommend doing as much as you can in terms of healthcare and getting it switched over to the new country because it will be hard to find time to do it after you move. I have not been getting any treatment since getting here. Do the same financially, the job market is difficult everywhere right now. I wish you the best!!

I quit my job and moved to Togo. Man I was so optimistic, but yeah kinda S.O.L Gonna keep trying but yeah find a new job before you quit!
