I worked for the first five hours today, then took the rest off. I had an appointment with a therapist who’s been working with me on my ADHD. I’m starting on another med, but only because I have such a shit time getting to sleep. He said it’s one of the least talked about symptom of ADHD, so he put me on something else. We’ll see how that works out. I’m hopeful. I’ve got another appointment with him in January. He said if I haven’t gotten an appointment for the ADHD testing by then, he’ll officially put in the diagnosis. That would be SUCH a load off my mind.

I got a couple of new Rocketbooks in the mail today. They had a sale on the Beacon Orange ones a couple of weeks ago, and I am a HUGE sucker for Rocketbooks and for anything orange. So yay, serotonin! I was also able to put some new stickers on them, because I am, at heart, a teenage girl, and I need to bedazzle all of my Rocketbooks (I have…. like nine of them; this post is not currently sponsored by them, but I sure as hell wouldn’t say no to that).

These came from the TikTok Shop, and they’re worth every dime. I love them. They are both very ‘me’ but for different reasons. So good.

I’ve also started watching the Netflix series Sex Education. I know I’m super behind the curve on this, but I’m loving it so much. Gillian Anderson is a delight, Asa Butterfield is awkward but super loveable, and the whole story is fantastic. Teenagers and their parents should all be watching this. It would cause many, many fewer problems with communication about life as a teenager between the teens and their folks. Sex is such a very taboo subject in this society, and that’s just sad. So many problems related to, tangential to, and not even in the same area as sex could be solved by just communicating. Hiding something never helped anyone. It’s dishonest and shameful.
