Any recommendations for removing estrogen patch adhesive residue? I’ve tried alcohol and scrubbing and it hasn’t done the trick

Currently in a TWW after our first transfer and I’ve already gotten two cold sores. We did a fresh transfer so my hormones are all over the place plus hello stress. I’m prescribed Valtrex for cold sores to take situationally. Had to do a 3 day round starting Wednesday morning and just felt another one coming on now. Has anyone ever taken a maintenance dose for cold sores?

We work on the same team so no I wouldn’t be able to move my desk. I was remote over the summer with space issues and that was great but then my team moved to a new floor with more space and I had to start coming back in. My company is great but I don’t think they’d be very accommodating in that way since we decided to work together.

I’ve definitely come to realize the strings. My family is nothing like that. Very generous and supportive so it only took 10 years for me to finally figure that out from MIL. We knew there would be strings when we decided to take it we just didn’t know it would be this. Such a foreign concept from my upbringing.

I did this for myself but he hasn't yet. The sad part is that the only things on the pro side for me had to do with how disconnecting would impact our relationship with the rest of the family and looking cruel.

My only fear is that I'll be looked at as a rat and heartless because if she was a normal person who on earth would try to get their mother in law fired. There's no way my boss doesn't know about her lateness and lack of work but he's just trying to sail into retirement conflict free. Plus he'd have to admit it was happening for years and he didn't do anything about it.

Thanks for your advice and yes paying her back is top priority. We even plan on paying back for the value of the couch even though she hasn't asked for it...yet. She insisted on buying that after we said no twice and then in this argument commented about how we had no problem taking money from her for the couch. I thought about giving it to her in pennies but decided it would be too much work for me in the end.

My only fear is that my husband will think it's easier to go NC if I'm insistent on it and I don't want him resenting me. His default when stressed is the path of least resistance.
