Everything is making me angry and sad, I've been trying to work out why as I recognise it's irrational.

Turns out, it's just my stupid uterus making itself the centre of attention again 🙄 such an attention seeker, it would fit right in with a mean girl clique lol

I just ate 3 of those cadbury popping candy elf things. I don't even like popping candy, so I guess I'll be joining you at the mean girl club tomorrow.

I just teared up before because I'm so over these carpet moths. I think I got them, and then I find more 🙄

My home smells like vinegar lol

And I cannot wait til I get menopause and after, this shit is so damn annoying 😂

They briefly came back for me too. I think they’re getting in via dry goods from the supermarket so I’m going to go back to putting that stuff in the freezer for a bit when it arrives to kill any eggs.

And I bought more snap shut plastic containers (though that’s not always moth proof)

I find vacuuming the carpets to get any eggs helps the most of everything after that

My big vacuum is farked, it started smelling like burning plastic. So I've been charging the small handheld one and going room by room. It's hard because the carpet is very thick and woolly - I'm just mentally struggling with it all I'm sorry 😔

Nooo I didn’t mean it like that. :(

I’m also struggling hugely with vacuuming because of the noise and the energy. Was just saying that it seemed to work more than the vinegar

Oh yeah! I didn't take it the wrong way! Promise! I'm on the rag so my mood is all over, hence the apology - it was in advance in case my text sounded weird!

Thank you for the tips, truly! You know much more about how to keep a home safe and clean, and I just really admire you. Any tips you have are always welcome promise!!!

My posts make me sound clean but I’m just scrambling to dig myself out of a hole… and only posting the clean parts
