I broke down and called the sleep psychology dept at my local university. I’m in over my head managing my insomnia alone and I think it’s time for some help. Last year I called and they weren’t taking new patients, but now they are! I’m so hopeful that I can learn how to deal with this in a better way

When I told DH that I didn’t know where we would buy TP (I’ve been buying it in wholesale lots or quantity for a while) he suggested Staples.
And that will work. The lots are smaller and that’s actually better. Dealing with 96 rolls of TP at once is overwhelming. And, I found a 100% recycled type I can order/pay for that is still < $1 a roll.
When we ran low on the last 96 roll lot, I bought 2 smaller lots from Target. The stuff was cheaper, but we use it up faster too. The commercial stuff would last 7-8 days a roll. The Target TP lasts 5-6 days, which means we need 21 more rolls a year and that’s another 1/2 of a Target package. So, I don’t get to store less if I want to buy a year’s worth – and that was the goal: storing fewer rolls while paying less.
The Staples stuff is .77 a roll.

I was like, ooh, new socks to try, and saw that I’ve already got 5 pairs.

You are bothered by tags and stuff sometimes but you’re not annoyed by toe socks? Interesting.

I LOVE toe socks. There is a big difference between constant pressure or constant input, versus something that shifts and rubs/pokes intermittently. But also I don’t like my toes being squeezed together and toe socks let them be cozy but still spread out.

Exact same.

Interesting to me, because I am the opposite. Most stuff like that doesn’t bother me but I can’t bear toe socks!

I think a big part is how comfortably your toes spread. If they don’t spread out easily normally, it’s going to feel like your toes are being forced apart.

Today at the gym a guy complained about what was on the television. I almost got off my machine to change the channel but then thought “fuck the patriarchy!”. He worked out maybe 15 whole minutes (it’s a senior citizen recreation center).
I WIN!

Nobody stole my bike while I was grocery shopping!
Now NORMALLY one would assume one’s bike wouldn’t be stolen during a ten minute shopping trip. The situation is different when one FORGETS TO LOCK ONE’S BIKE TO THE RACK.
I started to load my groceries into my paniers and came face to face with my mistake: the lock. Sprinted back outside in panic. Locked it. Went back in and got my groceries.
That was a ride.

1 v thin but soft and fun sweater dress
1 control underwear
1 weird bra sticky thing that I will pay $3 to try but not $30
