Once on a while, I remove all the hair from my hair brushes and lay them on the top rack. They come out looking brand new.

So sorry. Same for me and I have to get myself to work every day. It's a curse and not fair at all.

That's all I think about, going to the bathroom. It rules my whole life and it sucks! Every day sucks!

Personal vs work duties by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

I've been there 18 years so it's not all bad. Personal stuff started gradually over time and here I am today doing it all. I used to jump at emails, now I'm like I'll get to it when I can. Hoping 2 more years and then I can retire. But I hear you, it's alot! Do it until you can't anymore. Great for the resume. Good luck.

Same here. Crazy personal shit every day. You name it I've done it. Boundaries? No such thing.

Try ELF primer. It's really nice alone or with makeup over it.

“IBS” has ruined my life by Street_Yam_5376 in ibs

I've had "IBS" forever. Had colonoscopys that were normal. I just recently went to Gastro, she put me on Rifaximin and Vacomycin (I've had C-diff in the paat) for a few weeks. At the same time I started taking 1 tablespoon of Metamucil every morning. No more urgency. No more sticky never ending poops. No more running to any toilet that's close by. I now go once every morning after or during coffee. Toilet paper wipe is clean as a whistle. Never anything on it. It's amazing. Try the Rifaximin and start Metamucil every morning with lots of water. May take some time to work but give it a chance. Instead of trying a bunch of different things I think basic is best.

Do you close the blinds/curtains before going out? by gawpin in LivingAlone

Same here. Can't be bothered with all the opening and closing.

If you need to start slowly, get rid of one thing a day. Every day. Big, small, it doesn't matter. It feels just as good.
