ADHD assessment on the 18th went well, was scheduled for the DIVA test a week later, and scored 9 out of 9 for both attention deficit AND hyperactivity, and that I had this at a young age but had "limited impairment due to compensation of external structure" which according to my doctor basically means I was pretty heavily sheltered and tended to by my mom (which is true) so I didn't get a chance to really fuck up. And I mean, looking back, yeah, I can see it? But also....:\ Now as an adult trying to navigate the world, I'm kind of...whew, boy. XD;

SO YEAH THAT'S GREAT wow, lmao, I'm so. Frustrated. And I have a bachelor's degree and I was like but I have a bachelor's degree, I was able to focus and do that, and she was like yes, in something you're interested in (art). And I was like well okay. :\ This explains a lot but I'm not super thrilled.

UHM YEAH so yeah. I have a PCP appointment on the 17th to do blood work and maybe look at blood pressure medication, but also to talk about a medication that my ADHD doc would like me to go on (that's not a stimulant, bc we gotta get blood pressure in order, plus I gotta talk to the hospital in GA for records bc I have a bigeminy and ADHD doc wants to look at those results before putting me on stimulants (although there is a non-stimulant medication that she recommended to try first). BUT she thinks my problems with staying and committing to work is agoraphobia and/or a panic disorder. Uhm. So yeah, my poor brain is a goddamn mess lmao whoops.

Will has been an absolute trooper through all though, even though I keep making terrible jokes about them being stuck with me now that we're married. XD Although they have suspected this probably longer than I have so none of this is that much of a surprise for them.

In other news, today is July fourth, I'm not feeling patriotic at all, and the fireworks aren't helping. But here's some recent harvest photos.


A couple of zucchini and 2 quarts of cherries. <3

I have to admit: I don't actually have these songs, as much as I'd like them, because bus isn't on iTunes. I can't buy them. Sadly.

Weekly Score: 61.1% (22/36)

Goal 1: Declutter house and take care of family. 55% (16/29)

Review: I think I tried to do too much. And my sleep schedule has been off, so that hasn't helped, and neither has the foot.

Goal 2: Catch up on Fannish50. 83% (5/6)

Review: I wrote the three posts I wanted to, and posted two of the three for the week. I'm looking forward to this, actually. It's been a lot of fun.

Goal 3: Prep for writing retreat. 100% (1/1)

Review: This seems to be going so easily that I can't believe it's going to be this easy. But the letter went out, I got two of four emails back. I'm really excited about this! I hope it works well.

Intentions for the future: G1 - we're going on a trip, so I'm going to get at least one load of laundry done before we go, and do five minutes cleaning in living room and family room on Monday, and five minutes cleaning in Entry, front porch, and dining room on Tuesday. I also want to make sure the sink is clean, even if the dishwasher sits with clean dishes when we leave. G2 - I want to put up one more post, and hopefully write one or two of them before we go. G3 - I don't have anything planned for this week - I didn't expect to do anything.

If It's Any Consolation

Derg was a dwarf, one of the last of his kind in the Regent's kingdom. He lived in a damp cave deep inside the Blighted Hills, where he wove moss into clothing and practiced the art of metalworking.

There were no other dwarfs in the Hills or nearby villages, so Derg lived alone, which he did not like. Something else he did not like was being mistaken for a troll. Every week, when Derg went to market, he watched the kingdom's other residents back away as he passed by, every one of them leery of being forced to solve riddles. I'm nothing like a troll! he thought. Do they even look past the beard?

Little did they know that Derg also hated riddles. Riddles were tricksy, and they made him feel stupid. And short. Somehow, they always made him feel short.

So I haven't been able to write for a while - it's really frustrating. I haven't done anything regularly since before I broke my foot. While this may have been a bad idea, I decided to go ahead and sign up for [community profile] 100ships. I picked some idols I wanted to write, created all the ships I'm going to use, and now it's just a matter of putting them together with the prompts. So here's the table.

Here's hoping it helps. )

BND debuted in 2023 with One and Only, a very cute song (that, now that I think about it, reminds me a lot of Boyfriend by Boyfriend, although without the twins).

I discovered Blitzers through their song "Macarena." It's just so FUN. They actually do the macarena in the choreography, at 2x speed. I love it.
