Apropos of nothing

has anyone been following the Armie Hammer saga?! I’m so shocked. I just can’t fathom it. I know there’s a thread on the subject on Tattle, but I couldn’t help wonder what you all thought about it

It’s being stuck at home all day with three little children whom I love desperately but who are picking up on my stress and that of my wife, and acting out accordingly. All whilst holding down a full-time job. 🤯 I’d give anything to be living in New Zealand right now.

I can really relate to this, I don’t have 3 1 year olds, which must be so, so hard. I’m at home, working full time and trying to ‘teach’ the children, which is not easy. I feel like I cannot get any peace or space - then feel guilty for withdrawing to have some peace and space.

Also, the constant meal making, washing, cleaning up is rather tedious.

I’ve caught a bit of the thread @GTL Old-Timer - so shocked.

Cleaning?! What’s that?! We’re living in squalor over here. It’s depressing.

Yeah i’m using the term cleaning pretty loosely 😂. By that I mean loading the dishwasher constantly and wiping the surfaces down in the kitchen, constantly flushing the toilet because my kids seem to have lost the capacity to do that

First I've heard of him, or this sordid scandal. Not sure if I want to know more

I’m so sorry things have been hard for you. The one thing I havent been able to achieve recently is leaving the house. I think I went out a week ago with Mr Drag Name to pick up some essentials in town and that is it. This is not great. I keep telling myself I’ll feel better if I just go for a walk, I even got my wireless headphones charged up so I could listen to some music or a podcast on a walk, but I haven’t made it out there yet. I’ll keep trying because you’re right, it will help! But shoving a travel sized bottle of bubble bath into the tub (Peter Thomas Roth, I do wish I could afford full sizes but instead I just take them from hotel rooms! If I could remember what tr and scrubbing the life back into my skin definitely helped.

I’ve managed to achieve on some of the days, but on some of the days I have been next to useless. Trying to focus on the days that I did, rather than the days I did not. Oh, burnout. Such fun!
Hi all. Been there with this exact feeling. It's a major ADHD symptom for me. Have you got anyone to go for a walk with? Doing stuff with another person can really help. Gives you accountability.

I felt like crying with frustration this morning but ... I couldn't. The tears would not come. The AD I am taking just blunts everything to the point I can't even have a good cry
That’s a really annoying effect of AD’s... I found that it builds and builds with me and I know I need a good cry, but it just won’t come. I managed one on Sunday which cleared me out a bit, I also watched the latest episode of This Is Us last night and had a good old cry at that. Maybe give This Is Us at go ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you use a manual one or an electric one?
I use an electric toothbrush and manual interdental brushes (I need about three different sizes for the different sized gaps). I also have a Waterpik. Is there something better I could be using?

Actually I noticed on Hulu last night that I had 76 unwatched episodes of that show 😄And yes, I feel it building, can see it in my mood and attitude, but I can't seem to release it 😞

Dont Google him. I wish I hadn’t.
Too. Late

Oh I don't know. I bought some very small interdental brushes on Amazon after you posted. I had no clue which size to get, but my teeth are pretty cramped so I went small. I use an electric toothbrush and floss only atm

Omg that Armie Hammer stuff. :sick:
I saw him in Call Me by Your Name and the Netflix Rebecca. He seemed so unremarkable and bland.
What an absolute wierdo.

The gum specialist at my dental practice says that there should be a bit of resistence with the interdental brush so probably good to experiment to get the right sizes. I get on much better with interdental brushing than I do with flossing - which feels a bit violent when you have to force the floss between teeth

He was totally the wrong guy to play Oliver.

Sounds like he’s more than just a weirdo. He’s been accused of some violent acts including strangulation with a belt and rape. G-d knows what else there is to come ou.

What are Le Labo perfumes like? I nearly bid on a discovery set on eBay today.
I liked sniffing them in store, and got a discovery pack once. Really liked one, and ordered the bottle. I ended up with Labdanum and I think maybe I got the names confused and ordered the wrong one as It gives me a headache every time! :( Now it just sits unused in a drawer.

I have also, when feeling particularly indulgent, ordered the Rose Le Labo/Laundress laundry detergent. Utterly unnecessary, but I use it to wash my sheets occasionally and it is lovely.

Worth getting the discovery pack to try them out, especially if its a good deal! Something to brighten up this time.

Sending Australian sunshine and covid-free vibes to you all 💐

You struggle with leaving the house due to your ADHD?

On a related topic to the AH stuff - I would reccomend Promising Young Women. It's really well made and acted, and is confronting and anger inducing but also funny in parts and just really good.
