An everything shower, a fresh hormone patch, and in bed with a fresh library book by 8:15? Tomorrow is not READY for me to unleash my hygienic accomplishments on the day! #fresh #estrogenonboard #cleansheets

I’ve spent my whole life saying “no” out of fear and “yes” out of obligation. I’m trying to embrace the courage to flip that.

I thrifted this pristine 9x12 rug for $35. I wanted a Persian rug with bold reds, blues, and golds - this abstract has the same colors. If I stay open to possibilities, the thrift gods will always bring me what I need.

It’s 64 degrees (but the humidity is 90%, so we’re still sweating). She’s shivering and acting pitiful. #chihuahuaproblems

That bi-weekly feeling of groping around your post-shower body, trying to locate your old HRT patch so you can peel it off and place a new one is a different location 🙄 #menopauseproblems

Is there anything more rewarding than a little autistic tween’s face when you hand her a plate full of safe foods?

I’m not rich, but I have four 9x12 ruggables and that’s definitely a flex (they’re all secondhand). We don’t have “too many” pets, but we have enough that they’ve become a tactical consideration.

I am LIVING for the out-loud, full volume phone conversation I am hearing at the laundromat (my machine is broken). I don’t like drama in my life, but I want to KNOW the drama - drama-adjacent, if you will. #delicioustea

The husbeast has once again captured his wily opponent, established dominance, and returned it to its watery lair. They say “happy wife, happy life,” but happiness matters for everyone.

Sometime, despite buying cute clothes that were approved at the time of purchase, your autistic tween will dress in ways that you don’t like. It’s not worth distressing them - it’s just clothes. #AuDHDmom #AuDHDtween

I am really struggling with feeling ungrateful right now. In the last 10 days I’ve had a uterine biopsy, gotten a crown (stainless steel), and selected an insurance plan - three things I hated. But I’m well aware that I’m lucky to be able to afford one of these, much less all three.

The PTA is sponsoring a “parent mixer” at a wine bar and my introverted, AuDHD self would rather DIE. It would probably be fun for someone…normal? Regular? My socially awkward ass could never.

I know my husband loves me. But he will choose himself over me every time. If I’m having an emotional need and he doesn’t know what to do or say, he will just pretend nothing’s happening while I’m quietly dying inside. In his mind, it’s better to do nothing than risk doing the wrong thing.

It’s taken 48 hours to realize that my past experience with SA was a looming cloud over my uterine biopsy. The biopsy was very painful, but the experience of being vulnerable and helpless while someone hurts you intimately launched an unending stream of panic attacks. #uterinebiopsy #sasurvivor
