We went to a gem and mineral show, and the tistics were out in force! 🤣 (that does include us)

We ended up with a fossilized shell, a simple arrowhead, some rose quartz, a grape agate, and a little teardrop shaped malachite that I want done into a pendant 💜 The boys LOVED IT.

I took one of my few remaining Adderall (I have GOT to get a new appt booked) and I've finally taken down the Christmas decor from the mantle 🙌 Let's see how naked I can make this living room! I think it's time to strip the bookshelves?

No Kings in America for the 250th or ever!

Why does it feel like I'm the only surface that the boys can or will play on sometimes 🥴

Omw to a patriotic 250 years American anniversary Dixie National Parade to ride sidesaddle, with a few choice accessories.

I love how squishy her face is. Just so much unnecessary skin. Perfect for smooshing.

Why do I feel like the term "ad hominem" isn't being used anymore, despite being a thing, and a recognized weak argument?

Once again, I resent being made to hear his voice.

I hate my brain. But yes, I do literally have it on my calendar to call back to the NP I was using for my ADHD meds. I think I'll have coverage for those again with my new employer, plus something new to add some chill factor???

Having awful flashbacks when I was trying to struggle through my unmedicated early 20s by clinging to my understanding of horse psychology bc it's the ONLY thing I thought I could understand, and it was so INACCURATE. I don't want to go back to that constant failure meltdown.

I'm getting disrespect and defiance from my kids that's making me have flashbacks to being a kid myself in school, where nobody liked me, refused to listen to me from sheer principle bc I was just shit? Inferior? Wrong? And I have no idea why or now to do it right

It's weird doing this while medicated... Like I know I shouldn't be feeling this. I recognize it for what it is. But it's there and all the more baffling. How do people just... DO it? Just Life around like it's natural? I feel like I cannot, for the life of me, function correctly.

I'm having emotional bleed through the antidepressants, I've realized. I'm struggling to keep up, while everyone around me seems to have no real problem other than a little stress and annoyance. Back to the old How Does One Human Correctly crisis that I've come to recognize from autistic stories.

I am ready and waiting with this one. "Some boys don't think girls are cute, they think other boys are. And that's okay."

I'm already watching my pronouns when talking about the future people my boys may be attracted to.

Pretty sure 5yo likes girls bc he's a flirt, no telling with 3yo.

Reading Dan Simmons' The Terror. I'm not sure where the book is going, but the idea of the northwest passage is baffling to me. Here, let's go FURTHER north into ICIER ice, until we find water that is... impervious to freezing?

The water:

I've got Equal Rites queued up, but need to finish The Terror (Dan Simmons) first, since I started it while I didn't have Libby handy.

This book reads COLD and I think it be cool to hear the sounds of the ice but not so much to experience the temps 😅

Just finished The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett, book 2 of my read through Discworld, since apparently there are conflicting orders? I'm definitely settling in to the writing style and properly enjoying it now. 🪐📚
