The help (I cried though when she's remembering her nanny- but I am super sensitive)
It's a wonderful life.

I haven't watched it, but Fleabag is supposed to be really good.

thanks!!! will go do that. Just need to figure out what to change it to now...

Love Peep Show. Woke up this morning thinking about a Mitchell &Webb sketch so i am pulling out the 2 sketch show series they did. I love the one where the Nazi soldiers realise they are the baddies.

I gave my bedroom a good clean over the weekend. It hasnt had a good clean since the floods at the beginning of 2019. I will do the rest of the house through the week as i need to buy a sponge mop to do the walls and ceiling

I just checked my history on here - the city inspector last came in 2018, so he should return in fall 2021. Ive started preparing now! I should be able to remember even multiples of 3. I do know its every three years.

They haven't merged households yet because they both have preteen/teen children who want to finish school in their respective cities. I think he is eventually going to move here, though. And I know what she made when she used to be a university employee. I doubt she took a pay cut to go into private practice so... yeah, she can afford to live on just her income.

I never was able to log onto my work stuff today. I did get on my work computer as far as being able to read and catch up on the emails that came in while I was in training for 3 days, so I had something to do anyway, but couldn't see any newer emails. And could never log into any of the applications that I use to do my actual job. Maybe tomorrow. I didn't have to go into the office because the problem was affecting all locations - in office and work at home. I did text my boss and told her I didn't want to have to go in if at all possible because both h and I are considered high risk re: covid. the ventilation is terrible in the office as it is.

just turned in assignment 1 for my class. Now to start working on assignment 2 due next Sunday where we have to read a very long journal article and write a peer review. It's 11 printed pages (one sided) but thankfully the last 4 pages are all references. The article is about approaches to college students experiencing depression.

oh goodness I just saw that today she posted 3 more very lengthy journal articles (one is 35 pages eek) for our discussions tomorrow and Wednesday. We don't get the questions we have to answer in our discussions until class time... I think I better start reading these and leave assignment 2 for a later time!!

I got more done today than yesterday. I am crying several times a day and getting frustrated/angry easily due to withdrawing from the Abilify, but I have to because of the facial tremors so I guess I have to suck it up. Doing the best I can but feeling pretty lousy. Pdoc put me on very low dose of neurontin, which is not helping at all with the withdrawal.

Ughh, cat pee smell is so hard to remove even with dettol to clean, and enzyme cleaner.

Have tou tried natures choice cat pee remover? I have found it works even on old pee smell. I once found a scruched up pir of unmentionables that my cat pees on and hid i couldnt find the smell for maybe a week nturs choice took the smell right out

I have a large container of the natures choice as when one of my cats is upset by anything he pees in the laundry basket. And he gets upset at just about everything

I'll see if I can order some. The pet store where I live doesn't carry it.

She peed on my weighted blanket (blanket is rolled up in storage on top of plastic storage boxes) and it leaked through to the floor. I couldn't find the stain for about a week too.

QM i am sorry its called Natures Miracle not natures choice

Cool, managed to order some online and it'll arrive within 3 days. I hope it works. I used "Urine Off" before but it barely did anything.

It also works on my teen daughters bad body odour it takes it out of the clothes. I noticed this when i washed a load of non cat peed laundry and then a load of peed lundry. So i put in all laundry loads

White vinegar can also help--well with guinea pig pee, at least!

It does help but not as much as i hope hahahaha. I love white vinegar for cleaning my living space though.

*curls up on Couch, whimpers*

Still can't log into work stuff this morning. On hold for IT again. I think I'll just take PTO today if I can't get logged in. and go back to bed.

Opened the blinds. Opened the window. Lit a candle. Texted with my BFF from back home.

I'm freaking trying.

Something that made me feel really terrible is that I was hanging out with some doctor friends after I took my boards on Friday and they were really bashing on people with personality disorders. I feel very comfortable taking people to task for being mean about depression and that sort of thing, but revealing that I have a PD would be really stupid so I didn't feel like I could say anything.
