Taking a kiddo to tennis class later with eldest kiddo, then taking a trailwalk with my other kiddo. Technically 2/3 are young adults but they’ll always be my kiddos. I do get sad that I can’t call them the Littles anymore; Eldest Little, Middlest Little, and Littlest Little. 😭

Why is the music at every @Starbucks so dang loud? Forget it if you’re autistic or have adhd. One of my boys had a bit of a meltdown yesterday, my other boy was struggling with focus, and I was so irritable by the time we left I couldn’t speak. So much for the Third Place.

Why is the Canadian government & RCMP murdering healthy ostriches? I hope all those involved in this cruelty wake up tomorrow with the worst case of hemorrhoids ever documented.

My thyroid condition switched over to more hypo function about a month and a half ago, and since then I’ve gained just over 20 friken pounds! I’m going to have a crash out.

Did a little meditation today. I don’t know if it helped. I’m out of practice. And moody as heck.

In other news, I found a thriftstore purse I actually like. Normally I despise wearing a handbag & having it fall off or strangle me. Holding a clutch or wristlet is no good either, I’d rather use a grocery bag. Even backpacks annoy me. But this bag actually feels ok. 🤷‍♀️

I tried to quit therapy today but ended up just postponing the next appointment by a month. Why did I do that?

I need to go on a thrift store detox.

When i do sleepy stretches I usually vocalize in whistle tone. It’s very relieving . And I just whistle toned an A#6. 😅 I think it’s my highest so far. #soprano #singer #stretching

As an adhd I need recipes with like only 3 ingredients or else I lose my ish. I’m currently trying to find some Daniel Fast recipes and getting overwhelmed. But all online recipes are bloated with stuff. I just suck.

Happy feast day on this commemoration of St Francis of Assisi. Even though I am E.Orthodox I honor many Saints “of the west”. In fact, I find much of the discussions on East vs West to be puerile &toxic at this point. But Twitter has black pilled me. StFrancis pray to God for us.

Woodland wool mill, Valley Oak Mill, is one of the last standing in California I had no idea about this! Supposedly they give tours & their equipment is antique. #yarn #fiberarts #knitting #crochet #sheepfarm #YoloCounty #Sacramento #norcal #Woodland

Today I learned about the Lioness of Brittany. There should’ve been a history course in school that was a survey of final bosses in this matrix.

Crazy thunder storm last night. But today was gorgeous.

I’ve been so busy and unwell that I can’t ,for the life of me , get on a regular self care regimen. All I want is to do some fricken yoga and take a fricken walk. 😫

She isn’t allowed in my room right now so this was her solution. German shepherds are clever and stubborn, an interesting combination that rivals a determined toddler. 😅

Another busy day in meetings. This time with my kiddo & his PACE counselor. It’s been very informative and a little overwhelming - lots of info. It’s wonderful that we have such services that help folks who need it.

Had another doctors appointment today. This time with an hrt specialist. I’m feeling optimistic.

I asked Grok to give me ideas for crocheting Hermione’s magical bag of holding. I really like both the bucket and barrel styles. In reality, I hate purses but see them as a necessity. So If I could have anything magical it would definitely be a pretty, tiny bottomless bag.

Grok made me a meditation toolkit graphic for my adhd & executive dysfunction anxiety. I thought it was going to be like a list of things to do. One neat thing is that it gave me a meditation technique using crochet. I’ll probably try it out.
