i really don't know what tf Im doing.
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 yoga and take a walk.

I ended up practicing the scarf pattern to see if it would look good as a cade curtain. I don’t think it works with worsted. Would definitely need sport or something thinner.
It looks terrible but maybe it’s the test yarn. Another mad variegated.

I wanna crochet a cafe curtain for the window next to my front door. It needs to obscure enough but still let in some light. I’m thinking this stitch might meet requirements. Also not sure what yarn to use yet. I might just use whatever worsted is in my stash; I desperately need to get rid of stuff.

🌿I actually had energy tonight so I cooked. Yesterday was brutal. I felt totally sapped like I was barely alive. My lymph nodes are still swollen but my thyroid feels fine.
🌿Anyway, I didn’t have time to make refried beans. The boys just toss anything I make into a tortilla tho. 🌯

I’ve been trying to crochet a diaper for my German shepherd and experimenting with different seam closures for back and forth circular crochet. You can see where it goes from bad to better, looking less obvious as it goes. I may have found the secret. I’ll update more later.

Had therapy today. I’m super drained and my pharynx is super swollen I can feel it’s a little painful today.

It’s 11 at night right now and I’m having a cup with the hopes that I can get some work done. It’s a 50/50 shot.
I was surprised to learn that lots of other #adhd folks experience sleepiness after drinking coffee. Nobody believed me.😅

Finally doing something. I’m using that psychotic yarn I found at the thrift store lol. It feels similar to a Lionbrand yarn I’ve used but much easier to work with. I’m also crocheting kind of tight because it’s deceptively thicker than it looks. Anyway, it’s been good for my anxiety. #crochet

🍃Since stopping stimulant late last week, the anxiety & racing brain has come back. So I’ve been experimenting with Kava-Kava during the day, & a Valerian blend at night. I think the Kava helps although I felt “drunk” & really loopy yesterday. Not pleasant. I’ll post more as time goes by.🍃

There are some days when I’m feeling so lonely, or depressed that I miss my Trinket and her snuggles so much that I feel such a heaviness in my chest. She passed way a few years ago already. I’ll never forget her.

Because of some health issues I’m experiencing, I stopped taking stimulants. And the non stimulants I was trying were just as bad or worse. So I had my first real panic attack today since January. It’s already impacting my daily living. What am I going to do…😔 #adhd

I went to the thrift store a couple days ago after attending a funeral & then needed a distraction. Found a small stash of fiber that I’m unsure what to do with. The colorful one looks like it will be a bit of a pain with the fuzzy fibers tangling on the hook. But it’s pretty.

Todays a bad day & dont know why. Maybe it was therapy. Nothing to talk about but it still drains me. Maybe it’s the Friday night concerts with the boys which are great but stressful just by nature of how one must function, although yesterday was exceptionally stressful. Bad sleep. Bad meds. Dunno.

This place was supposed to be for me to document my crafting. But i haven’t crafted anything. Maybe i should expand my definition of crafting. Maybe it should include literally anything that I’ve done… like washing the dishes.

I’m going to take a small business class & I think we actually get to make a business plan to set one up.
What should mine be?
I’d love to have it be practical & smthg i could actually pursue.
Street food? Coffee cart? Crochet hats?
Trouble is that i don’t see myself as having anything to offer.

Very emo atm. My kids are late teens/ early twenties. I love them dearly but i also miss my babies. Wish i could go back in time & relive/redo those years again. Wish i understood wtf was wrong with me so i could be medically treated properly. ADHD sucks! There’s no “superpower” for many of us.

I was feeling my anxiety rolling down a hill & all of a sudden i was hearing Holst’s Bringer of Peace in my head. I haven’t thought about The Planets in years. But i listened to BoP online & am now feeling much more centered & calm. What a wonderful thing. #adhd

Everyone in our household has adhd and half are also autistic. Tonight was a very stressful, full on family breakdown that needed immediate and intense intervention. I try to be positive about life but i really do still worry for my kids, and they’re almost adults.
