Well, it has been 2.5 months

When we returned from the trip, I pretty much immediately started searching for a job. One of the symptoms of ADHD that the medication has not alleviated (though might help control) is my hyperfocus. So when I decided I was going to start the job hunt, I didn’t think of very much else until IContinue reading “Well, it has been 2.5 months”

Home from the trip!

Well the posts of how I planned the different aspects didn’t happen before the trip so I will be writing them after. The three month mark of me being on Welbutrin also happened on the trip and so I am going to talk about how I’m doing with the Welbutrin and how my ADHD intensifiedContinue reading “Home from the trip!”

Planning a long road trip with kids

If you know me in real life you have definitely talk about this road trip I have been planning for months. I love driving and look forward to getting to do road trips so much. Every summer I think, maybe we can do one this year and I plan out all the stops and timeContinue reading “Planning a long road trip with kids”

Two Months have flown by

Tuesday was 2 months on Wellbutrin and it is still working. When I get into hyperfocus mode I know it now. That is huge for me. Knowing that I am in a state of hyperfocus allows me to lean into it if the time and space is available, or pull myself out if I needContinue reading “Two Months have flown by”

It’s a new world around here

My partner has always been the income earner around here, and I have worked jobs for mental health and fun. His company closed last week and it feels really weird right now to be in a period of time where he doesn’t have to work all the time. We started a company a couple yearsContinue reading “It’s a new world around here”

1 month

So I know, I said I would post at 2 weeks… That came and went and I didn’t even think about posting. Not much changed between week 1 and week 2. Today is 1 month in to being on Bupropion (Wellbutrin). I still think it is working, but I haven’t noticed much of a changeContinue reading “1 month”

Homeschooing No More

We made the decision to put the kids back into in-person school. As a parent I am very excited. My kids were flying through textbooks like it was their job. They were just soaking up so much academic knowledge, but each day it seemed like they were losing more and more social skills. They haveContinue reading “Homeschooing No More”

A Week Into Medication

I wrote before that I have been trying to find systems and processes to make my ADHD manageable without medication. On April 1st I had a wellness check with my dr and we decided it was time to try medication. She did not push me at all. We just talked about what more steps weContinue reading “A Week Into Medication”

My Partner Doesn’t Like Pets

When my partner and I met I had a gerbil, he had no pets. We were young and just out of college so it wasn’t surprising he didn’t have a pet. Most people I knew didn’t have pets yet. I had grown up with quite a few pets running around the six acres of landContinue reading “My Partner Doesn’t Like Pets”

Story Time

I don’t know what to write, so I’m just going to write a short little story. Walking along the lake, in the misty fog Sarai saw out of the corner of her eye, something move. On edge they turned to see what was there. It was nothing. Nothing was there. Knowing they did not imagineContinue reading “Story Time”
