It’s 7pm and I’m in the middle of making dinner. I’m suddenly absolutely exhausted. Like, I don’t know how I’m going to finish cooking and clean up. Not surprised since I started work 12 hrs ago and haven’t rested all day….

I don’t want to go to work or be part of society today. I’m want to #introvert with a pile of reading material, maybe watch some tv or sit outside, take a nap. #chronicillness #mentalhealth

Trying to watch a movie. I’m interested in it, and mostly enjoying it (though not completely engrossed in it). Keep pausing it to get up and do things.

Anyone else have trouble sitting through movies? Is this an #adhd thing?

It’s stupid early AM. I am “awake” for work. How did I manage to do this every day for years? It sucks.

Food pulled from the microwave tends to be hot. This does not change just because I am hungry. One day I might learn.

I noped out of that book so hard in high school that I never realized that. But now that you mention it….damn.

I’m getting my flu shot and Covid booster today. Asthma sucks, but I’m glad it lets me get a vaccination. #scienceisreal

I’m exhausted, was up for several hours in the middle of the night, worked early.

I have some things I have to get done today. I want to rest. If I sit down before doing chores they will never get done. I kinda feel like I deserve a rest though, after a full work day…. #adhd #executivediafunction

There were a few but this was the first. *shrug*

I had to leave the house before 6 AM for work.

The only pluses to this are that the sky is so pretty during sunrise.
Traffic was minimal so I made better time than expected.

Back from vacation. It’s like I never left work except I have even more to do than before.

I also have a ton of stuff to get done personally that couldn’t get done last week. I’m absolutely exhausted and super stressed

Went on vacation for a week. Spent that week forgetting I have a budget and bills. Spent far too much money on stuff I don’t really need. *sigh*

Is there anything quite as sad as feeling lonely while surrounded by people? With my family and I just feel so alone.

Vacation is weird. I’ve had more work interruptions today than I care for.
I’ve also not had this much free time in ages and I don’t know what to do with myself.

Also I miss my cats.

I leave for vacation early tomorrow. Sneakers is on the bed, giving me a sad face.

Or ya know, I’m projecting my sadness of leaving him. But I’m pretty sure those are his sad eyes #catsofbluesky #cats

I got the most pressing things at work done. Win!
I am so close to being done with cat sitting (for now)
So close to vacation.
Can’t relax yet though, and it’s killing me. I have so much to still get done.

Thanks. Today definitely tried to give yesterday a run for its money. It’s just gotta get better soon. Right? RIGHT!

So cute!

Wow. So many layers of parenting fail.

Going on vacation next week and it just feels like one more thing to get through.

I don’t want to socialize with family or go sightseeing. I want to #introvert and recharge by reading and watching tv. Maybe spending time outside 2/2

#exhausted #knackered

Running on fumes. I’m over worked—stupidly long days @ full time job, cat sitting on the side. We’ve been short staffed at work so super stressed during long days. No proper day off in weeks, always at least cat sitting.

Both my cats have been rotating who’s sick all month 1/2

#overworked #empty

It's funny that midlife crises were once a thing at all. Like "oh he's disillusioned with the world and unsure what he wants out of life and buying things he doesn't need just to feel an ounce of joy because the things he was promised as a child don’t really exist anymore” like that is just Thursday

That happens to me all the time. I hate it.

Yesterday I got an email from my boss and corporate asking why the deposits weren’t sent with Brinks last week.
As professionally as possible I said because we don’t have enough staff and I’m doing the job of three people. I can help our clients at the front desk or I can prep deposits. Not both.

Met w/rheumatologist today. Apparently the test that came back positive usually indicates lupus, which I have no clinical symptoms of. Testing does not indicate sjorens. So no lupus (yay!) but no answers on symptoms I’m having.
More appointments. *sigh* i just want to be healthy. #chronicillness

I’ve never done call center work, but done reception at a vets office for like 12 years. Not great. Lots of getting yelled at.

People who guide their dogs away from me as I am getting out of the car, thus depriving me of a chance to say hello to the good pupper, make me sad.

I have my first appointment with the rheumatologist this afternoon. I’m nervous, though not as nervous as when I booked it.

Will I get answers today or just more questions/tests/appointments?

I’m so sorry for all of that. Losing a friend is so hard, especially that stage where you’re drifting apart but don’t know why or if it can be fixed.

I’m sorry about your mom and all the medical issues and the kids….you’ve had a lot on your plate. *hugs*

I worked too much this week. Long hours at full time job, plus cat sitting. I’m exhausted. Didn’t realize how much I just wanted to be home until I had to go out today. It almost physically hurt. And I have to go back out in a little bit. 😬 #homebody #introvert
