Your job is to make their job easier. And I don't mean letting them get away with things, I mean your sole purpose is to provide them everything they need to do their job as best as possible.
Remember that every single day

It's extremely hard to be promoted to a manager of a team you used to be a part of. You need to establish lines that shouldn't be crossed quickly and distance yourself from them outside of work for a bit until the power dynamic is established.

It sounds like you are a wonderful and caring friend!
But you missed the chance to listen. If they didn't expand when you asked, that's what you need to hear. Let go of worrying about the past until they open up on their own.
Instead just be present with them as the good friend you are

When wake up, tell yourself 3 mini goals for the day to achieve.

yeaaaaa so vinegar will rust all the metal it touches if you just leave it there and don’t wipe it off. don’t do this to your car unless you want to rust it from the inside out. . and most essential oils will break down over time and will corrode the internal upholstery. OP, i know your heart is in the right place but overall bad advice for the car stuff

It also reads that u made a little more money this year than last year. Without knowing how much u made both years, and I'm not asking, but u may have also gone up a tax bracket without realizing it.

Rob McElhenney (the real Vic Vinegar) talks about how his mother used to cover him in vinegar as a fly/mosquito repellent (while it does do this it’s generally recommended for dogs). He stated that it made him smell really bad and how it gave him PTSD every time he smelled vinegar. He did state the few times he didn’t use the vinegar the mosquitoes and flies went to town on him…

Sometimes I forget to empty the waste container on my smart Vac/mop and then it well create the worse smell. What I’ll do is pour baking soda all over the container and then flush it with vinegar. As long as I get the entire container once it dries the funk is gone. I’m unsure if your wireless stick can be flushed as I’ve never worked with it so make sure this won’t cause an issue before trying this method. A safer approach would be to try and simmer the vinegar in a pan with the filter and motor very close to the pan (make sure motor is exposed). This may kill everything that’s causing the smell.

If she has moved in with her boyfriend send her a notice that if she doesn’t pick up her “abandoned property” within a certain time that you will be placing it in storage that she will have to pay for. Then do it. You will then have a room to rent out.

Gather your friends who knew this person pre-transition, and tell stories about this person using their correct pronouns. Don’t let your stumbles stop you from self correction. Don’t overly apologize in the conversation with your other friends, in the same way you wouldn’t with your friend with new pronouns.

Actual LPT: Clean up the source of the offending odor if possible with the proper cleaning product. If you just have to go the hippie route, use baking soda and water only. Baking soda neutralizes both acidic and basic odor molecules. All adding vinegar does is neutralize the baking soda and has the added bonus of smelling repulsive. Rinse thoroughly; residual baking soda or pretty much any cleaning product will attract moisture and thus dirt and grime back to the area.
Honestly, just water, a good absorbent towel and a little elbow grease will go a long way.
Wet carpet WILL start to smell if not dried in a timely manner. Invest in a dehumidifier, a real one with a compressor. Run the power cord through a cracked window and set it to "continuous run" and let it go overnight or in a garage. The key is avoiding overheating, you know how hot vehicle interiors can get in the sun, and a dehumidifier will be dumping several hundred additional watts of heat...
For an actual little to no effort way to dordorize a vehicle, read up on the proper use of an ozone generator. A cheep Chinesium unit from eBay will be just fine. This is what used car dealers do.

I do this with reading and painting.
When i finish a book, i read the first few pages of the next book. And when i finish a painting, i start the sketching for the next one.
Really keeps the momentum going, and is especially helpful for people who feel a bit overwhelmed starting new things.
