Nothing But Thieves - Do You Love Me Yet?
Nothing But Thieves - Do You Love Me Yet?
I'm feeling a lot of shame right now.
I could use some advice or support. My husband and I both have ADHD. We really struggle to keep up with cleaning our home. My parents weren’t great cleaners when I was a kid either, so I get stressed sometimes because I don’t know how to handle various things around our home. My husband told me a couple weeks ago that his mom was over at our house, and she told him we “don’t deserve to be homeowners.” This comment really cut me to the core. I have a pretty good relationship with my MIL overall which is what makes it hurt that much worse. But she is an insanely clean person, and she really can’t stand any kind of mess. I try to remind myself of this, that her standards are really high. I keep hearing that comment in my head and I feel like a piece of shit. I really want to clean up my house but I have so much shame around it that it’s so hard to motivate myself to do it. It’s not like I live in a hoarder house or anything… But my house is messy enough that I am embarrassed to have people over most or the time. Just needed to vent a little. Thanks for reading.

Surrogate - Post-Heroic
Surrogate has been one of my favorite bands for close to 15 years now. I just noticed that they have less than 1k monthly listeners on Spotify and figured I would get up on my soapbox to share them here. If you want to get a sense of their range, here are a few songs I would recommend as a primer: Post-Heroic (from Post-Heroic) Stay Out of the Sun (from Love Is For The Rich) State of Jefferson (from Popular Mechanics) The Devil Gets What He Wants Sometimes (from Popular Mechanics) Battleground, Washington (from Post-Heroic)
