A #chess tournament was too much for me as a #neurodivergent adult. My #anxiety got out of control and I was unable to play, notate, and be social simultaneously. Nearly had a panic attack. I dove into the deep end and drowned. I'll take a break for now, and when able, return to shallow waters.

Sometimes I'm going to have #depression.
Regardless of all the current good in my life. Today my mood won't improve despite me taking all available actions. Diamond dotz are a newfound hobby and how I'm distracting myself, best I can.

As someone with #ADHD, sometimes I need to keep my hands busy for my own focus and sanity. These #cats are all different textures of squish. But they're not as soft and cuddly as the cats @skittlesandfriends.bsky.social

My #grief is running rampant.
Wishing I could tell my grandmother where life took me the last 10 years or so. Or asking my biological mom why #sobriety was so hard for her, what would have helped her?
If winter holidays bring grief up for you, it hurts, but is normal ❤️

Bought two tins today. Probably should have just gone with the three pounder 😂 There's just nothing like the texture and flavor of this #Yuletide treat. Had to get the #GoldenRetriever, as per my partner

Thinking about playing my first OTB #chess tournament in early Jan. They have a U800 section. Made my first study card of sorts and feel like I'm trying to cram before a test.

Good morning and welcome to #Caturday
Let's make positivity louder.
Close the door on yesterday, it’s finished its story.
Today is wide open, waiting for your brilliance.
Tell me: what’s one thing you’re choosing for you today?

Not exactly #SpotifyWrapped, but here is the #YoutubeMusic that has been in my ears:
Miss. Queen has become a #karaoke staple, Plush and Inside Out are still being worked on.
I practice songs for months before performing outside the shower walls 😂

The #photo on the left is from April 2025, right from Oct 2025 I'm the same weight in both.
Doctors kept telling me I had #anxiety and #depression
No official #diagnosis yet for my #ChronicIllness but all of my symptoms have been better with OTC antihistamines.

You've made it so far. Nothing can ever take that away.

Another Dill for you today.
I'm really starting to impress myself with the #photos I'm taking. He was sitting in my chair at #Thanksgiving and the open back made a lovely frame. His brown fur and green eyes pop!

Cooked some squash, chicken thighs, and green beans tonight. I'm starting to turn a corner in my #chronicillness journey, and the ability to stand long enough to cook is such a blessing and accomplishment.

Dill did some modeling for me this morning. Counts as payment, I guess, after waking me up at 5am for pets

Visiting #family for an early #Thanksgiving. This is Nero, one of three #dogs my sister and her man have. Despite me being a cat person, Nero is very gentle with me. We spent literal hours today snuggling--under blankets, in a car, in a bed.

And for the record, chessmaster is a terrible NES/chess video game. Almost no music, sound effects can be harsh. The best part is the lovely #8bit rendition of the funeral march that plays when you lose 😂 (heard that a lot!)

Quiche I baked tonight. The crust is under baked, but because I'm #neurodivergent, I often need to relearn skills, like using my oven. It's chilly here in #Maine! I'll get it right next time! 😊 I'm proud of myself for cooking, regardless of the outcome ❤️

Andy: Good Morning Sarah, this is a older picture of Captiva on the couch, and I like this picture because it shows that even a small cat can be a Mighty Lion,
And I know that you have a Mighty Lion of strength, courage, and determination inside of you. 🦁💖

Update on my #chess journey: I reviewed some stats from last year's tournament, the winner had an elo around 1000 and computers think I'm 600-700 currently. Seems like placing is a realistic possibility!
