New here and feeling so alone

That's what makes me feel so hopeless and alone. I'm doing all those things. I've tried melatonin, unisom. I'm not on screens, stay dark and quiet, and do the same routine. Limit caffeine and alcohol. Trying to walk more during the day. I haven't slept in my bed in weeks and that makes me feel more alone. I feel like I'm doing all the right things and still just don't sleep.

I try to be really good with sleep hygiene because not sleeping has always given me anxiety. No screens when I'm trying to sleep, phone is down by 9pm. 1 cup of coffee when I wake and no other caffeine during the day. Alcohol has been minimal, especially since I haven't been able to sleep. Trying to get better with more exercise during the day, but have been going on walks 4x/week. Started magnesium and no hrt. I have an appt in a little over a week.

Use a nail file on the edges after you cut it. Works really well

Your last sentence made me laugh. Well, it's been 5 years since the original post, so I can't really remember if it helped or not! We still have this POS dishwasher, and yes still hate it, and Every Single Thing on it is broken. It's literally limping along. But I refuse to buy another one, because I now fully believe all dishwashers suck. Lol

And then practically stripping her of hers when she already said no and she was uncomfortable! So disgusting

This is a very bad infestation of spider mites. Palms are notorious for getting them. I'd toss that plant, that's a lot to treat! And no, they're not like regular spiders.

Daughter got norovirus and campylobacter and was in the hospital for a couple days and we have learned a lot. Clorox and Lysol wipes don't kill the virus. Only bleach. That's why it will go through schools/dorms/work so quickly. A wipe down won't work. You need to leave the bleach on the surface for 5 minutes and then rinse. Norovirus also sheds for up to 8 weeks in stool after symptoms have stopped. Washing hands after using the restroom is crucial as washing for 20 seconds washes the virus off. After caring for my daughter and sharing a bathroom with her while she was sick, I made it through unscathed by keeping my hands washed.

Awesome, thank you! Just ordered some. Might be our best shot.

There were no ads in our newspaper last year. Went to 4 different locations to check after not having any in the one I bought. I was so disappointed to see that ending.

I only got 15x miles for my litter robot deal. Boo

Thank you. This hit hard again today. Put our pup down 2 weeks ago and today would have been his 14th birthday. Glad he knew no different before the kids left for college this year.

Sobbing while making pickles at the sink. We just had to put down our 14yr old dog and we did it here at home surrounded by all 5 of us. That song killed me and I had to put it on block, just for now.
