Is this the normal level of brain-funk that just happens to people, codependency, or like some sort of mental problem? My old ED therapist told me that anorexia was related to OCD, but I don't feel like this impacts my life enough to be an actual disorder, except when it comes to romantic things. It's just so incredibly, incredibly, incredibly anxious that I feel like I have no way to address it. Like it feels genuinely impossible. It took me three months of daily attempts the only other time I've broken up with someone.

Food and quality of it affects epilepsy, adhd and other modern "diseases" as well as sleep and other patterns. You need vitamins and fats to create proper level of hormones body uses.

Quickbreads are simple, cheap, and fast (surprise). There are plenty that pair with all sorts of other things as well. I also recommend a Basque cheesecake. They are extraordinarily simple, cheap, fast, and can make for a 'fancy' surprise desert for a fancy dinner. If you do it, make sure your cream cheese is room temp before making it.

I legitimately think I need to start reading again. As I've aged I've noticed I kind of just struggle to read the words on a screen. I skip ahead of things, I start paragraphs from the bottom up, I blank out and lose track of where I'm reading. My speech is also beginning to suffer for it, and I often stammer aloud nowadays. I'm not sure if I'm just becoming dumber, but maybe I need to get back to my small handful of books someday (some Dumas and Dostoevsky).

I have a thick wooly sweater that says dry clean only, what would be the consequences if I ignore that? Also, if I can wash it at home what can I do to make it less itchy?

You can ignore it but don't put it in the washing machine. Hand wash in cool/cold water with either wool specfic detergent or castile soap *which will strip the natural oils* though if it's itchy, it may be lacking those oils that condition the fiber already. You can soak the sweater in a mix of vinegar and conditioner then put it in the freezer for a few hours after air drying. This is a decent step by step process.

You seen those 'do not remove under penalty of law' tags on your mattress? You ever heard of gitmo? Test your luck.

I've got one of those denim coats with the fuzz around the neck. I've been considering letting it air dry after running it through the wash. Can I just use the same old detergent I'd use for my jeans?

I think that the biggest concern with washing wool items is shrinkage. It’s okay if you wash it by hand in cold water, but use soap that is specifically for wool and don’t use a lot of it. Lay it on top of a towel on a flat surface to dry.

As for making it less itchy, I use vinegar as a fabric softener in my laundry. If you do try washing it, add a couple caps of vinegar to your bath and let it soak for a bit. Should take the edge off.

ETA: oops late *sigh*

Kinda hard to wash one part of the garment and not the other so I guess but I'd condition and brush the fuzz part occasionally assuming it's some type of wool

You need to find a way to make it eas(ier). I’m interested in Catholicism so I downloaded the Hallow app and everyday a guided rosary, meditation, etc comes up. Find something like that. Not the most elegant answer but honest.

Cover the cheesecake with foil until the last 10 or so minutes, and use a water bath. More even distribution of heat will prevent the browning on top and minimise the unsightly cracking.

I think the cracking is pretty though, reminds me of bread. The browning is actually because I undershot it. It's supposed to be a basque burnt cake lol. I'll try it sometime though and see how it feels.

I've seen that water trick for flan before. I've been meaning to pick up a pair of pans to do it with since I don't really have anything lying around compatible with them.

Shoot I was thinking about this earlier, I should have asked. How do you do that thing with homemade mac where you get that crispy skin on top? Is that from baking it after cooking it on the stovetop first? I've been dying to do some up.

Baking, sprinkle some cheese on top and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes. You can also top it with some seasoned buttered breadcrumbs.
