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

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”

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”

In high school my principal would end the announcements every day with “Today is a great day… or not. The choice is yours” I understand that this is meant to be motivational, and encourage the listener to have a cheery optimism and choose to have a better day. This saying has gotten me through manyContinue reading “Is it really my choice?”

Homeschooling this week

Our family had talked about switching to home-school before the pandemic happened. I was home-schooled growing up, and there are definitely some benefits I gained from it. Our older child was having difficulty making friends and conforming to the teacher’s will during that year and my partner and I were traveling a decent amount forContinue reading “Homeschooling this week”

Takoyaki… inspired

This whole pandemic thing has definitely had me down recently. I really miss going to restaurants, and part of that is because we have a group where my partner and I would go to lunch with friends every Friday. One of our frequent restaurants had Takoyaki, and it was amazing. I had never had itContinue reading “Takoyaki… inspired”

Mulch Day!

Yesterday my third load of mulch arrived. I love mulch day, it gives me something to focus on until it is all spread throughout the yard. The exercise is a major bonus. I’m guaranteed to be using all of the muscles in my body and spending some time outside. The reason I have had threeContinue reading “Mulch Day!”

Giving something up for lent

This is the first time I have ever given something up for Lent. When I have seen it done before people always gave up something that seemed not that hard to give up, and I thought it was silly. So when our family decided we would give something up for Lent this year I decidedContinue reading “Giving something up for lent”
