One thing about ADHD is that sometimes my mind is swirling with so many thoughts and ideas that it's impossible to keep them straight. At times like that, I kind of shut down and look for distractions for my mind: reading blogs, looking through twitter, playing a little iPhone game, listening to a podcast, laying … Continue reading October 26: so many things on my mind

October 22: Spirited A-what?
I can do a bunch of stuff over a weekend and still be behind. Today reminded me of that at school. So I came home, had dinner, and when Annika started asking about going shopping, I said "how about movie Monday?" I was thinking that I could clean out my backpack, maybe get a couple … Continue reading October 22: Spirited A-what?
October 20: Ghosts
I have a terrible fascination with horror films, but I can't watch them. Seriously - I just leave or watch through my fingers/from behind Dak's shoulder. I have always been particularly scared of/fascinated by ghosts and the paranormal. Maybe it was Poltergeist (the first real ghost movie I watched), maybe it was just the general … Continue reading October 20: Ghosts
October 13: fast food is garbage
I have been eating healthy for about a month now and this weekend was the first time I ate fast food pizza (Pizza Hut) since then and I'm super sick. I don't know for sure it's from eating the pizza, but I don't know what else it could be. I have had a bit of … Continue reading October 13: fast food is garbage
October 1: National Pumpkin Spice Day?
According to an Aldi ad I saw while browsing the Internet, it's National Pumpkin Spice Day and how is it that I didn't know about this important holiday? I LOVE pumpkin and I love spice and I especially love these two things together in my coffee or in my cakes or in my pies or … Continue reading October 1: National Pumpkin Spice Day?
September 26: I ALMOST FORGOT!
I was falling asleep - like, right on the edge of consciousness for the night - and suddenly I realized I hadn't done my writing. OH NO WHAT IS YOU DOING!? I yelled at myself internally. How could I forget after almost 3/4 of a year of daily writing!? What is going on brain? To … Continue reading September 26: I ALMOST FORGOT!
September 20: My Face
So my face does not express what I want it to express. It is always extreme, it seems, and it feels like the older I get, the worse it gets. I can't seem to make it show the right amount of emotion or even the right emotion. It's just really weird. I know this because … Continue reading September 20: My Face
September 19: Accidentally Uncaffeinated
I FORGOT MY COFFEE THIS MORNING. I am an addict and I forgot to pour my coffee and take it with me. I didn't notice until I got to school. I was that tired this morning. I tried to be positive about it. I thought, "maybe I'll be fine!" I was so naive. I was … Continue reading September 19: Accidentally Uncaffeinated
September 17: I eat junk.
So I finally got paid and since I didn't do well at losing weight over the summer (I actually gained weight), I signed up for Weight Watchers online plan. I used their program years ago (pre-child) and was able to lose about 25 pounds and generally keep the weight off for a long time. It … Continue reading September 17: I eat junk.
September 14: a little better
I'm on the verge of falling asleep so I'm going to be brief. Today was better with the class I had been struggling with. I'm sure there will be days where I leave exhausted and frustrated again, but I restarted with them as best I could. I gave a survey to ask a bunch of … Continue reading September 14: a little better
