I’m a bit grumpy in this one because I’m just frustrated! I didn’t want to turn on the sugar and fake it for you all. I just think friends shouldn’t do that. I love you guys!
If it were me, I’d likely be frustrated too, because I like getting things done. But as an outside observer to this process, I can admire you respecting your body and getting done the things you did!! You only get one body - keep it safe!
I love your thinking that the laundry room could be pivotal in the routines for the house, and your attitude of experimentation and curiosity to see if this is what happens when you tackle this room. This channel is quite unique - shout out to Midwest Cleaning for steering me your way. I've subscribed! Our lives are quite different in the detail but I'll be so interested to follow along with how you do some of those things we all have to do to make our lives better!
Beth! I'm not a doctor but I have a family member with POTS and I noticed your heart rate spiked in this video after you're on the floor and then stand up. Look up POTS and see if it might be what's happening - basically it's when your body has a hard time regulating heart rate when changing positions, so it skyrockets when you stand up. If you suspect POTS you can discuss it with the cardiologist. In the meantime, try staying super well hydrated, with electrolytes, and see if that helps.
I’m a former ICU RN (at a VA!). I noticed the same thing. Your heart rate does seem to spike after postural changes! POTS could be the culprit, but there are other possibilities. It’s great that you have this footage to show your doctor. Definitely push for the community consult…even if it means making an appointment with your primary care md every week!!!! Take care of yourself!!!! (And advocate for yourself, too!!!).
Try putting a small plastic cup in the litter bucket for them to use! That’s what I do ☺️ I love your laundry room!! And I love how real you are, I relate to you so much 😅
I feel like I’ve never related to anyone more! My husband thinks I’m wacko in the way my brain works 😂 so I’m glad I found someone I can completely connect with!
Talk about motivation! I just went and cleaned out my washing machine and tumble dryer filters and put my washing machine on a deep clean cycle! Cheers Beth!😊
One other thing… you made the laundry room better so you were successful. No need or be perfect. Please be kind to yourself. I am one of Dana K Whites declutter coaches. Hugs!
Just keep going I get it wholeheartedly. We can’t move on until that thing is done but then wait I need to do this and then I get frustrated because I’m going in circles. The fact that you keep going is great
Podías hacer una rutina de limpieza cada día una cosa así siempre lo tendrás limpio ya se que la situación de cada uno es distinta pero así no te agobiarias un❤ besito
What a wonderful laundry room. A nice size with cabinets! Mine is a free standing washer and dryer in the basement. No cabinets and concrete floor. Enjoy fixing it up. From Midwest Magic.
Listen to your body darling. I’m so proud of you for what was accomplished. Tomorrow is another day. What ever that supposed to mean. I’m sending good vibes your way. Love you ❤
Good morning hun! I'm excited for this! I need to clean mine as well . Mine is a lot smaller than yours but it does get so messy because you can just hide things in it and shut the door 😅. I LOVE how spacious yours is 😍. Your entire home is beautiful! I hope you are having a great start to your week, my friend! ❤❤❤
I’m so impressed you figured out the laundry room was the center of all evil. I wish I could find mine. I’m pretty sure it is somebody else’s room. 👀😂 I now want to get hat litter box and convince my husband to get a cat! Thank you for so much inspiration!!! ❤
Get the cat first and all else will follow! Best case scenario you find a tiny kitten in need of rescue and say “well just foster it” and then never bring up fostering again. Worked a charm with Sweet Potato
If I accomplished one task in an orderly logical fashion from start to finish without detours the earth would quit spinning. You can thank me later for keeping the world in motion. Blessings from Texas and you did great!
Hi Beth for refilling the kitty box after washing it, I use a horse feed scoop. I got mine at Tractor supply. It comes in colors like blue green red etc. it works awesome for fresh kitty litter scooper.
My life changed when I made my laundry room pretty like the rest of the house. I, like you, made my laundry room a catch all making me hate going in there which made the daunting task of laundry even more so. When I cleaned it, decorated it and put all my laundry soaps and softener/scent beads in glass jars I can say I honestly don’t mind doing laundry now. You got this sis!
Wonderful video Beth, real life at its finest! 😂 You can trust dirt to wait right there until you feel good enough to get into hand to hand combat with it again. It did NOT win, it is just on pause. 💜👍💜
@@feraltradwifeBeth... I'm watching 👀 this again tonight as I relax after work... your narrative is absolutely 💯 😂hilarious. I hope you are feeling steady & ❤ rate stays in more in normal range until your cardio appt. Your FL pal, Michelle 🦋💛💙🤍🌞
Hope you’re feeling better and you get that appointment with your cardiologist asap. You did a great job love, be kind to yourself and don’t push it xox❤
You make the best cleaning videos! Today, when I saw Feral Tradwife had a new cleaning video, I was elated! because once I watch your video, my house will get cleaned. Well, never as good as you clean, but cleaner. That is, the small parts of the house that are my focus. Like today, I’m going to take some trash out to the garage, write 4 checks, fill out the Census, gather the info for my 2023 income taxes, cart in 125 pounds of dog food, and wash dishes. Phew! Oh! And let the dogs out and feed them! Recharged and ready to go, I’m off!
I haven't finished the video yet but I know I'll forget - you need to get stacking dog food containers that have an angled front opening. They make them in a style similar to the container you already have. You can get a container for each food and stack them on each other on top of the litter box (never mind, that makes it hard to clean - stack them somewhere else). They also have sizes big enough to fit the whole bag in. Also, get yourself some desiccant packets to keep in your food, especially the stuff left in the bag. It'll help control the moisture. Until this year, I had 3 senior dogs all on different prescription diets with different medications. Feeding time was a trial. Thankfully, Iggy didn't become diabetic until after he was an only dog because trying to keep it all straight, I might have injected the wrong dog. The stacking containers that don't have dog food any more are stacked in my bedroom storing yarn.
Great job. I hope you are able to get the issue with your heart taken care of soon. My husband has been through 2 procedures with his AFIB working better about a week then got Covid. Getting better but not perfect. He is twice your age so when his heart rate goes up he has to lay down before he passes out. Take care friend. ❤
One suggestion I have for feeding the pets is to have a schedule. I used to work for an animal rescue and we had fur babies that were on various diets. So we got a couple of dry erase boards and put the animals names, the food (we had several volunteers that fed them so they’d know what to feed who), the times they got fed and a space to initial who fed them. It worked very well.
Omg I just realized from your video that I have a junk room!!! It's my office! The dumpster fire for my paperwork, thrift store donations, diy projects that-never-were, and some thrift store finds my fiancé doesn't know about. 🤣🙌🏻
I just do a chore when I feel like doing it. Sweep then clean the top of the washer. Right or perfect with myself is never gonna happen so I don’t stress over that anymore
They make self cleaning robot type boxes that senses when the cat has used the box and rakes through the litter and deposits the chunks into a waiting bag. I know they are expensive but helps with cleaning and having an always clean box. Might help.
I have adhd. And when I clean I flit from section to section. As long as I am in the same room I am accomplishing something. I have just decided that is how I do things. Radical acceptance. But I agree that I have noticed how one area gets behind, another area does too. Like if the kitchen trash can is not emptied each day, the dishes can then slide, and then the living room starts to keep extra dishes and trash unnecessarily and so on. It is remarkable how quickly it happens too. About your heart rate. Do you have POTS maybe? That is worriesome for sure.
I don't follow 'clean in this particular order' to be efficient. Doing the floor out of order did get back of room corner done; cleaning up litter dog food by water dish gets it off your mind and solves distractions from Leroy. 😊
I had the same issue, my heart rate would go up like I was running but was sitting. It finally went back to normal. I think it was menopause. Most women I know have had the same thing. My nephew was in Iraq. After ETS he began to have heart problems. It would stop. He spent weeks in hospital on a ventilator. He wasn’t even in his 50’s. Been several years and still has some issues. Had a small bump under his eye that was cancer.
lol we had the squeaky Lambs for our dog and he loved them but then he realized the cats made the same noise we he would play with them so we had to ditch them. Wasn’t a good time 😂
Watching this now, im wondering even more about POTS. Heart stuff is terrible, frustrating, and scary. I just had my 2nd cardioversion today. Im 51. 😬. I understand how you're feeling. Good job, but yes, be super careful.
I love that you are so real and so funny! What I don’t love is when your beautiful heart is acting a fool. I’m not gonna try and tell you what you should do, I’m not a cardiologist. What I am is a member of the feral family so ❤
Oh darling, this was giving me anxiety just watching you and your heart rate going up and down! Have all my fingers and toes crossed that you can get a diagnosis and treatment ASAP! Your thought process while you cleaned is almost identical to mine so I'm feeling you there too 🤣
Also when I clean, I often have to do the floors first because I'm always barefoot and I can't stand walking on a gross floor to clean the other stuff. It might be "wrong" but it's better than not cleaning at all because I don't want to walk around my house lol
Hey Girl, my laundry room gets gross also. We have the litter in there also. I unfortunately don’t have a sink in my laundry room. I have to clean all that gross stuff in my kitchen sink which grosses me out because then I have to deep clean the kitchen Also. It’s a double ended sword!
There should be a little tube with a cap that you should be able to unlatch and pull out some and that’ll drip the water from the bottom of the washer first so when you untwist the filter it won’t pour water out all over! 🙃
Use light weight litter. Once again first thing you walk in put a load in washer. Oh look. You did it. Proudof you. OK when you get raised heart rate a good coping skill is smell the flowers for the count of 4 then blow out the candles for a count of 4. Slow is fine. Stop looking at your watch. Just sit and do flowers and candles. When you get the breathing under control your heart rate will be normal. When clumping cat litter gets wet. It sticks and is gross. I think your doing great.
Hi!! I just subscribed to your videos, I kind of want to say that Mack from Midwest cleaning sent me because I remember him mentioning your name . Without looking for you somehow you popped up as a suggestion! I'm doing binge watching to catch up, but man oh man, you are my hero! I have no kids and no pets and sometimes no motivation. I'm Dana and I live in Pasadena California 🙋🏻♀️💕
4:43 I thought you were shooing us away at first 😂 Our rottie was like Leroy even without potential food, serious FOMO, had to be right in the middle of anything you were doing. Just a constant back and forth of shooing away and her creeping back in and getting in the way lol And omg if the "doing things out of order" isn't the most me lmao I try to plan it out in my head first but I end up just doing things in the order I think of them which just creates more work because I've done the floors because they bothered me most but then I dusted so now I have to do the floors again 😣😂
you can soak animal dishes in vinegar and it does a beautiful job at getting rid of calcium buildup. I know it smells, but it's safe and bacteria hates it!
You have the best on neutral disinfecting multipurpose concentrate cleaner already- simple green d! Up to 128 gallons worth once diluted. a tiny amount in a spray bottle is all you need. I'm a pro cleaner and its almost all I use when I can find it. Covid made it a bit scarce. Otherwise diluted odoban with a dab of members mark ph neutral floor cleaner will pretty much do it all. Godspeed and best wishes on your cardiac stuff! My thyroid janks up my heart rate - its how I know I need to change my med dosage.
Friend is your heart rate related to your anxiety? I used to have that. It was all part of my PTSD. My elevated heart rate triggered anxiety, PTSD kicks in, anxiety totally took over and I stopped functioning in that moment. The way you explained it reminded me of what I used to experience. Thank God those days are behind me, but I remember that part of my life very well.
I was diagnosed with SVT when I was in my thirties. I had to ablations. I’ve been on metoporal for years to control my heart rate. I was told by the cardiologist that I was born with an extra electrical pathway leading from my heart. It’s very scary. Hope you feel better soon.❤
I’m just wanting to check up on you and get my Beth fix for the day. Hope you are ok. I hope Sonja is feeling better and her tummy isn’t rejecting food. (Poor kid). Sending hugs!
I can see you are upset about the order, but the order you hear about in routine cleaning is not what is needed here. You need to clean the floor first so you are not tracking dirt everywhere. Then once you get to the things at the top you may have to clean the floors again. ❤
Girl. There’s a tube with a little stopper on it that’s inside the door on the washer. You drain that before you open the filter. Then you won’t have the water spilling out. At least that’s what ours has.
Mack’s APC is isopropyl alcohol, about 5 drops of Dawn dish soap, and water…would have to check with him on the percentages and amounts…I think I need to maybe try that cleaning mixture
If your heart rate jumps 30 points from sitting to standing, that would be POTS. You can do a simple test on yourself to see if that’s the case. Sit or lie down for ten minutes and then stand up quickly and see what your heart rate does for five minutes while standing. You usually have lightheadedness, faint feeling, blood pooling in your feet and legs. The typical treatment is propranolol (blood pressure lowering med), compression socks, electrolytes.
It’s hard to clean when your heart rate keeps spiking! I get it. I have Long Covid and this is an issue for me too. My resting HR is 60-65. Sometimes I can be doing things/walking my dog and my heart rate stays at 80-90. Other days I do same activities and it’s 120+. :-( Hope you can see the cardiologist soon. ❤
i have POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. dishes and laundry is my BIGGGGEST trigger because of the differen postural changes. squatting and standing really fast can have my heart just from a resting of 50-70 beats per minute to 120-190.. its not fun. i am always constantly dizzy and have to take breaks. your blood does not go to your brain fast enough, at least mine. please be mindful of your health. if you have had covid, i gurantee you it was underlining and it made it worse. please go to a heart doctor if you havent already or a neuro! my neurologist diagnosed me with pots due to my long list of diagnosis. i have hyperbobile Ehlers danlos syndrome. youre an inspiration when i struggle to get moving cause it takes a huge toll. praying for youu!
I’m trying to get into cardiology now, and this next video I’m posting really makes me question POTS. I hate the idea of having it! But I’m not exactly dizzy standing up. I don’t feel too much different except a little short of breath and I feel like my heart is going faster. But it’s not super terrifying?
@@feraltradwife I have sussed it !! . You and Mack have beef and I will RUclips document it ... Then I don't have to work . Yes my queen that is the answer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i understand being upset you didn't get as much done as you wanted because something "dumb" got in the way. but give yourself grace. this room is sooo much better than it was. a family member can put the food back and take out the trash. you can do the rest another day. see what you did do: half the room, the dirtest parts, all animals have clean things!
Your heart rate is supposed to go up while doing activities. The important part; and this is good, your heart rate returns to normal after you stop doing activities. Everyone gets upset when the heart rate doesn't return to normal. That watch would drive me bonkers. Docs wanted me to monitor my blood pressure when I got older, and just the act of taking my blood pressure made my blood pressure go up. It's a vicious cycle. Mack would have gently suggested the move out / move in method, which I think you did. Good job - it looks nice 😊
Just some info to maybe ask your doctor about...my heart rate did the same thing when I had undiagnosed, untreated Hashimotos. Once I was diagnosed and treated, it stopped.
Good morning Beth and all 🧙’s. I’m constantly trying to diagnose your symptoms. 😮 Could it be dehydration? Or you’re just one who needs a daily bump in hydration. Like liquid IV or better yet LMNT in your first water of the day. Can’t hurt! Beta blockers don’t lower your rate they keep you from feeling the pounding. You accomplished a lot and the most important part, safety for the furs. Hope you’re feeling better. ❤
I do have lmnt! I’m going to wait to discuss the beta blockers with cardio because they appear to be a forever medication and that’s super hard for me to get on board with. How are you babe?
Can the litter box be kept outside the house at the side or something. The cat can be trained to go there and do its business? The box looks huge and blocks up your laundry room.
I figured you already knew about it! I hope you get answers. Maybe it’s just humid Georgia. I live Northwest of Atlanta in Marietta and it’s humid enough here. I haven’t been outside for more than 12 hours all summer long. Love all your videos. Thank you for being you!
Love your videos ❤I was going to suggest you put the drinking water in front of the litter so they don’t go past the litter to drink ! But then I immediately realized the cats would walk through the water to get to their cat litter argh ! Either way it’s a “ Ghost” clay pottery love scene mess
I really hope the scoop is the solution. When I was doing the litter we didn’t have this problem. I think the boxes of litter were just too heavy for the twins to manage without spilling here or there.
If I put it upstairs it’s way too out of sight out of mind, and everywhere else is main living space or bedroom. But this is working quite well actually.
This may be a stupid idea but since your cat litter box looks like a piece of furniture could you move it somewhere else? Your laundry room is performing so many jobs in a small space. When I was young with kids our washing machine was in an unfinished basement. What a pain in the ass! Dark, gloomy, and hauling clothes up 2 flights of stairs. Ugh! Love your channel!
New to your channel, loving it!Do you have ADHD/ASD? It's quite common to also have POTS, please mention it to your Dr. Also, perhaps you need shelving in your laundry room?
I’m a bit grumpy in this one because I’m just frustrated! I didn’t want to turn on the sugar and fake it for you all. I just think friends shouldn’t do that. I love you guys!
Absolutely no worries…I think we all can relate.❤
We all have these days ❤
If it were me, I’d likely be frustrated too, because I like getting things done. But as an outside observer to this process, I can admire you respecting your body and getting done the things you did!! You only get one body - keep it safe!

I can't stand cleaning while walking on a dirty floor so I understand doing it out of order.
Right? Sometimes you just have to do the floor right off the bat.
Omg I just realized from your video that I have a junk room!!! It's my office! The dumpster fire for my paperwork, thrift store donations, diy projects that-never-were, and some thrift store finds my fiancé doesn't know about. 🤣🙌🏻

I’m wondering if it’s all hormone related for sure
lol we had the squeaky Lambs for our dog and he loved them but then he realized the cats made the same noise we he would play with them so we had to ditch them. Wasn’t a good time 😂
Rollercoaster comment! I was like aww!! And then like ohhhhhhhhhnoooooooo
1/2 cup alcohol. 1/2 cup water. 1 tablespoon of dawn power wash I think put in large spray bottle. I use it after I use a cleaner just to sanitizer
Yes!! I feel like that was the blend he suggested. I’ll use that when I use up all my other cleaners ❤️
Watching this now, im wondering even more about POTS. Heart stuff is terrible, frustrating, and scary. I just had my 2nd cardioversion today. Im 51. 😬. I understand how you're feeling. Good job, but yes, be super careful.
Great job Beth. I hope your heart rate issues get sorted soon.
Thank you!
I love that you are so real and so funny! What I don’t love is when your beautiful heart is acting a fool. I’m not gonna try and tell you what you should do, I’m not a cardiologist. What I am is a member of the feral family so ❤
So happy you are in the feral family Jen ❤️
@@feraltradwife 😘💕💕💕 Feel better
Oh darling, this was giving me anxiety just watching you and your heart rate going up and down! Have all my fingers and toes crossed that you can get a diagnosis and treatment ASAP! Your thought process while you cleaned is almost identical to mine so I'm feeling you there too 🤣
Thank you Julie. I have had two really good days in a row now!
Twas Mack that brought you to my attention. He has good taste I really enjoy your content and you are funny. Hope that heart stops mucking you about x
I’m so happy you’re here!
Also when I clean, I often have to do the floors first because I'm always barefoot and I can't stand walking on a gross floor to clean the other stuff. It might be "wrong" but it's better than not cleaning at all because I don't want to walk around my house lol
Hey Girl, my laundry room gets gross also. We have the litter in there also. I unfortunately don’t have a sink in my laundry room. I have to clean all that gross stuff in my kitchen sink which grosses me out because then I have to deep clean the kitchen Also. It’s a double ended sword!
Oof! That does suck. I feel like laundry room sinks should be a requirement so you have a “gross” sink and a “good” sink.
There should be a little tube with a cap that you should be able to unlatch and pull out some and that’ll drip the water from the bottom of the washer first so when you untwist the filter it won’t pour water out all over! 🙃
DANG IT!!!
@@feraltradwife I so sorry! Wish I could come help ya!
Use light weight litter. Once again first thing you walk in put a load in washer. Oh look. You did it. Proudof you.
OK when you get raised heart rate a good coping skill is smell the flowers for the count of 4 then blow out the candles for a count of 4.
Slow is fine. Stop looking at your watch. Just sit and do flowers and candles. When you get the breathing under control your heart rate will be normal.
When clumping cat litter gets wet. It sticks and is gross. I think your doing great.
I’m laughing at you and the washer filter. Nothing ever goes as planned 😅
Stupid thing! I have never successfully accomplished that particular task anyway
Hi!! I just subscribed to your videos, I kind of want to say that Mack from Midwest cleaning sent me because I remember him mentioning your name . Without looking for you somehow you popped up as a suggestion! I'm doing binge watching to catch up, but man oh man, you are my hero! I have no kids and no pets and sometimes no motivation.
I'm Dana and I live in Pasadena California 🙋🏻♀️💕
Hi Dana from Pasadena!!! Super excited to have you babe!
4:43 I thought you were shooing us away at first 😂
Our rottie was like Leroy even without potential food, serious FOMO, had to be right in the middle of anything you were doing. Just a constant back and forth of shooing away and her creeping back in and getting in the way lol
And omg if the "doing things out of order" isn't the most me lmao I try to plan it out in my head first but I end up just doing things in the order I think of them which just creates more work because I've done the floors because they bothered me most but then I dusted so now I have to do the floors again 😣😂
I was shooing you away! Go find me a cruise ship!
I sooooo badly needed to do the floors over the rest of it. But man it’s annoying to do them twice!
you can soak animal dishes in vinegar and it does a beautiful job at getting rid of calcium buildup. I know it smells, but it's safe and bacteria hates it!
Thank you!
You have the best on neutral disinfecting multipurpose concentrate cleaner already- simple green d! Up to 128 gallons worth once diluted. a tiny amount in a spray bottle is all you need. I'm a pro cleaner and its almost all I use when I can find it. Covid made it a bit scarce. Otherwise diluted odoban with a dab of members mark ph neutral floor cleaner will pretty much do it all. Godspeed and best wishes on your cardiac stuff! My thyroid janks up my heart rate - its how I know I need to change my med dosage.
Friend is your heart rate related to your anxiety? I used to have that. It was all part of my PTSD. My elevated heart rate triggered anxiety, PTSD kicks in, anxiety totally took over and I stopped functioning in that moment. The way you explained it reminded me of what I used to experience. Thank God those days are behind me, but I remember that part of my life very well.
For sure it could be. I’m hoping that’s the case honestly. I can ignore my heart if it’s just my crazy mucking about.
Your dog is named Leeroy Jenkins?! That's hysterical and amazing. I have truly found the perfect YT channel. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOYYY!
LEEEEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOOOYYYYYYYYU JJJJJEEEEENNNNNNKKKKKKIIIIIIINNNNSSSSSSS
I was diagnosed with SVT when I was in my thirties. I had to ablations. I’ve been on metoporal for years to control my heart rate. I was told by the cardiologist that I was born with an extra electrical pathway leading from my heart. It’s very scary. Hope you feel better soon.❤
Thank you jewel!
I’m just wanting to check up on you and get my Beth fix for the day. Hope you are ok. I hope Sonja is feeling better and her tummy isn’t rejecting food. (Poor kid). Sending hugs!
Thank babe!
The little cuddle 💕
You clean as you go. This is a situation I would have to pick stuff up/mis en place..then get to cleaning.
That's my 2 sats, I'll shut up now.
Thanks babe ❤️
I have one of those mats for cat bowls and water fountain. I throw it in the bathtub and use comet
I can see you are upset about the order, but the order you hear about in routine cleaning is not what is needed here. You need to clean the floor first so you are not tracking dirt everywhere. Then once you get to the things at the top you may have to clean the floors again. ❤
Thank you ❤️
Sent from midwest magic cleaning and will absolutely be a new subscriber. Mac says hi 😁
Welcome!!
Just so like your laundry room!
🙋🏻♀️ team wash dishes first (if I had a dishwasher) 💕
Love it!!
Girl. There’s a tube with a little stopper on it that’s inside the door on the washer. You drain that before you open the filter. Then you won’t have the water spilling out. At least that’s what ours has.
DANG IT!
@@feraltradwife it’s all funny, so you win either way 🤭
Sending hugs and energy!
Thank you!
Leroy is perfect.
He’s so rotten!
Mack’s APC is isopropyl alcohol, about 5 drops of Dawn dish soap, and water…would have to check with him on the percentages and amounts…I think I need to maybe try that cleaning mixture
Thank you!!!
If your heart rate jumps 30 points from sitting to standing, that would be POTS. You can do a simple test on yourself to see if that’s the case. Sit or lie down for ten minutes and then stand up quickly and see what your heart rate does for five minutes while standing. You usually have lightheadedness, faint feeling, blood pooling in your feet and legs.
The typical treatment is propranolol (blood pressure lowering med), compression socks, electrolytes.
I refuse to have it! It’s too trendy! I want it to be something like “maybe you eat too much” that’s easier.
@@feraltradwife hahaha 😂
It’s hard to clean when your heart rate keeps spiking! I get it. I have Long Covid and this is an issue for me too. My resting HR is 60-65. Sometimes I can be doing things/walking my dog and my heart rate stays at 80-90. Other days I do same activities and it’s 120+.
:-( Hope you can see the cardiologist soon. ❤
Thank you!
Take care of yourself. The mess will still be there. It only takes one heart attack so……. Rest
Thank you Jenn ❤️
i have POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
dishes and laundry is my BIGGGGEST trigger because of the differen postural changes. squatting and standing really fast can have my heart just from a resting of 50-70 beats per minute to 120-190.. its not fun. i am always constantly dizzy and have to take breaks. your blood does not go to your brain fast enough, at least mine.
please be mindful of your health. if you have had covid, i gurantee you it was underlining and it made it worse.
please go to a heart doctor if you havent already or a neuro! my neurologist diagnosed me with pots due to my long list of diagnosis. i have hyperbobile Ehlers danlos syndrome.
youre an inspiration when i struggle to get moving cause it takes a huge toll. praying for youu!
I’m trying to get into cardiology now, and this next video I’m posting really makes me question POTS. I hate the idea of having it!
But I’m not exactly dizzy standing up. I don’t feel too much different except a little short of breath and I feel like my heart is going faster. But it’s not super terrifying?
@@feraltradwife do you get really weak? like your arms lose momentum?
@@natalieriffle6571 actually no.
Hi Beth I am heading out for a late shift . So will watch it after work .xx
Or you could quit your job and watch it! Sacrifice!
@@feraltradwife I would love to but the bills .
@@feraltradwife I have sussed it !! . You and Mack have beef and I will RUclips document it ... Then I don't have to work . Yes my queen that is the answer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MetalheadMama-s2c Bills ruin everything!
Great job and you did good 🎉😂❤
Yay! Thank you!
i understand being upset you didn't get as much done as you wanted because something "dumb" got in the way. but give yourself grace. this room is sooo much better than it was. a family member can put the food back and take out the trash. you can do the rest another day. see what you did do: half the room, the dirtest parts, all animals have clean things!
I think it’s wasn’t mad at not getting enough done but mad at my body
Your heart rate is supposed to go up while doing activities. The important part; and this is good, your heart rate returns to normal after you stop doing activities. Everyone gets upset when the heart rate doesn't return to normal. That watch would drive me bonkers. Docs wanted me to monitor my blood pressure when I got older, and just the act of taking my blood pressure made my blood pressure go up. It's a vicious cycle. Mack would have gently suggested the move out / move in method, which I think you did. Good job - it looks nice 😊
I have clients that have a board that like sits in their washer and dryer, it looks good and doesn't scratch anything... Just an idea ;)
YUP. I want one soooooo badly
Just clear that room out, and clean with a bucket of water n soap.🥳
Hey! Don’t fake it for us! We know exactly how you feel.
Thank you love
Just some info to maybe ask your doctor about...my heart rate did the same thing when I had undiagnosed, untreated Hashimotos. Once I was diagnosed and treated, it stopped.
Thank you!
This is not bad work for such an aggressively tiny person!
lol! Thank you!
Alcohol, and a moose. The second one was the moose. 🤷♀️
lol! Guess I’m moose shopping
Good morning Beth and all 🧙’s.
I’m constantly trying to diagnose your symptoms. 😮
Could it be dehydration? Or you’re just one who needs a daily bump in hydration. Like liquid IV or better yet LMNT in your first water of the day. Can’t hurt! Beta blockers don’t lower your rate they keep you from feeling the pounding.
You accomplished a lot and the most important part, safety for the furs.
Hope you’re feeling better. ❤
I do have lmnt! I’m going to wait to discuss the beta blockers with cardio because they appear to be a forever medication and that’s super hard for me to get on board with.
How are you babe?
@@feraltradwife I’m good.
Love the light lying at the beginning. This is a real family now!!! lol.
I’m happy that you were able to wean off beta blockers, that a comfort to me.
Found you thru Midwest Magic Cleaning!
Yay!!! Welcome.
Can the litter box be kept outside the house at the side or something. The cat can be trained to go there and do its business? The box looks huge and blocks up your laundry room.
No, the cats don’t have consistent outside access
For Giant Scoop. Dollar Tree, pet aisle. Big feed scoops all kinds of bright colors girls will like 👍.
Potassium helps your body regulate heartbeat
Yes! I’ve been taking electrolytes
I figured you already knew about it! I hope you get answers. Maybe it’s just humid Georgia. I live Northwest of Atlanta in Marietta and it’s humid enough here. I haven’t been outside for more than 12 hours all summer long. Love all your videos. Thank you for being you!
70% alcohol, 30% water, & 4 to 5 drops dawn = Mack's APC :)
Thank you Julie!
Love your videos ❤I was going to suggest you put the drinking water in front of the litter so they don’t go past the litter to drink ! But then I immediately realized the cats would walk through the water to get to their cat litter argh ! Either way it’s a “ Ghost” clay pottery love scene mess
I really hope the scoop is the solution. When I was doing the litter we didn’t have this problem. I think the boxes of litter were just too heavy for the twins to manage without spilling here or there.
Maybe switch the water to the corner? Would have to move the laundry station down, grr, but might help? Just suggesting!
Could you put the litter box bin in another room? Or the dogs water?
If I put it upstairs it’s way too out of sight out of mind, and everywhere else is main living space or bedroom.
But this is working quite well actually.
This may be a stupid idea but since your cat litter box looks like a piece of furniture could you move it somewhere else? Your laundry room is performing so many jobs in a small space. When I was young with kids our washing machine was in an unfinished basement. What a pain in the ass! Dark, gloomy, and hauling clothes up 2 flights of stairs. Ugh! Love your channel!
This is nonsense cleaning 😂😂 omg when you said that i laughed out loud for sure....oh how i can relate! 😂
lol! Glad you laughed babe!
New to your channel, loving it!Do you have ADHD/ASD? It's quite common to also have POTS, please mention it to your Dr. Also, perhaps you need shelving in your laundry room?
I have mentioned POTS to my doctor and I’ll mention it to cardiology if I ever get my appointment
First time viewer here. Do you have a garage where you could keep the food? I’m sure your laundry room would smell better. 😊
Oh man. I do but it’s an entire disaster tbh.
@@feraltradwife Don’t worry, you’ll get there! 😊
