I even have some family coming over this weekend. I’m excited because they’ve never really come to visit me. But I can’t bring myself to clean my apartment and I have been struggling for the past week with this. Just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap. At least it’s not that bad looking in here but still. I managed to clean one toilet bowl the other day and that was all I could bring myself to do.
I actually did do that one time! It was a bit pricey but gave me some peace of mind. Sadly it’s a bit too late in the week now otherwise that would have been a good idea lol!
I have a very hard time doing my own cleaning, especially once I’ve let it get bad. Some kind of mental block I guess. Although I don’t have much disposable income, I’ve found that having someone come in on a regular basis really helps me mentally. I can work at my own job for a couple extra hours to pay for it. Between the paid cleanings I can usually keep up at least for a few weeks.

Just to add some actual useful knowledge, amphetamines are a subset of psychoactive compounds called “phenethylamines,” the effects of nearly all of which get more potent when you add a methyl group onto the nitrogen (often times as much as 10x more powerful, IIRC).

The pain is real.
I have a saying every day that I stick to:
“I’ll do it tomorrow”
This is too real.

Pay someone to do it. It’s well worth the price. You don’t have to be remotely wealthy to do it.

Have fun with your family this weekend!
When I start feeling like this that’s when I know it’s time to trim another social media account.
Listen I found something that actually works… it’s called meth.
My doctor keeps telling me I should call it adderall but I can’t find the difference
