Insomnia
Arggh. I hate insomnia. I used to think that it was all me that I couldn't go to sleep when I was supposed to. It is but it isn't. ADHD doesn't make it easy to get to sleep. While I do play games after I have given up trying to sleep. But now, I'm thinking that I should take the advice of an old friend. I should get up and do something. I found a couple people that I decided to follow on Facebook. One is a ADHD guy that gives out business advice to young people. I found a couple Reels where he talks about his ADHD. He was diagnosed early (earlier than me) at 11yo. He got on Ritalin but not me. So far my meds don't work on me tho I don't take it regularly. I did find that my diet does influence me. Back to not sleeping, I was taking Trazodone 50mg and was splitting the pill when I decided to quit them. I have rebound insomnia since I've taken it for over 3 years, mostly on. They are not supposed to be addictive but we know that anything can be habit forming. I decided to quit because I want to get off taking medications. I gotten them off before and it was months, almost a year. Until I had a setback. I don't recommend anyone to go off their meds without doctor approval/supervision. Perhaps this might help someone. IF you can't sleep or remain sleeping, get up and do something. Anyone can do anything for 15 minutes. I don't recommend to do anything loud or outside if it's dark or might be intrusive to your neighbor or co-habitors (unless you know that the sound won't wake them up). My hubby says he can sleep on a meat hook. I still keep it low. Yes, I believe I'm on the upswing. Or at least higher than being depressed. Have a good night!!🌛

Update: I finally slept thru the night and then not the next night. I'm persevering. Yes, Sleep does help make the day better.... and life. On the sour note (we always have to have one), I developed a kink in my right side. Methinks I'm too close to the edge of the bed where it sags. I've moved myself over towards the middle before i fall asleep but manage to get into the same spot when I wake up. Maybe I ought to attach tennis balls to my Tshirt when I sleep. It's supposed to help one to not turn onto the side where they're attached. I guess hugging a pillow is not working. LOL. 🤣
Little things can be painful
I have been going crazy all day, trying to get a splinter out of my finger. It started yesterday when I was trying to cut fibreglass mesh to make screens for the windows to stop insects coming into the house. Here in the UK we are not used to hot weather, cold weather, rain, snow, well pretty much anything can bring the country to a standstill! We once had the trains come to a stop as there were “leaves on the line”, I am not joking. So I couldn’t find anything suitable to buy ready made that didn’t cost a fortune to stop the insects so I thought I could do it myself. It took a whole day, some antiseptic spray, TCP, plasters (band aid @Shawn Bailey) etc and then at 10.45pm I saw what was causing my pain. I got some tweezers and pulled and was shocked that a tiny piece of fibreglass was the culprit. To me it was huge… so I took a photo with a ruler. It was about 4.5mm…. What a relief it’s out!

ooo. What about those paper cuts? Those are painful because they don't show up until the next day or if you can vinegar (or anything acidic) on them. I end up putting a plastic bandage or tape on them. I force it to heal the edges together. And it takes days, weeks for it to heal for me. I get that because I end up working in a very dry office environment. Yuck!

That was you. I'm sure you have gotten some good tips so far. Remember to give yourself a break. You've learned habits that don't work for you. You can change them. You need them to work for you not someone else. And that requires time. Time that you give yourself. To heal. To think. To know yourself. It may not feel like you have the time but you'll need to make the time. Because you are worth it. Give yourself a hug. Take one arm and reach across to the other side (over the shoulder, on the shoulder, over the ribs) and do the same for the other arm. And Squeeze. Self Love. Self Care. You are worth it.
Getting It Done....
I have been working my booty off and forgetting to post🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ So I have ordered my business cards, set up Domain, FB, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest all with my business name. I have not finalized the actual look of the page but I have the NAME. Working on and finishing all my paperwork today... also I am hoping to set up 3 meetings for tomorrow to meet with Directors... There is a lot more but I have found that when I actually set alarms for myself they are really working....

Congratulations!!
Here we go again - 🐾
My wife and son brought our youngest dog (4)to the vet today because she hasn’t been eating for the last several days she’d nibble but then stopped that. She’s been drinking water. Anyways, they just took her to the vet. The vet said she looked jaundice and then after asking a bunch of questions sent them to the emergency clinic down at University of Florida. So my wife and son are there right now. And we don’t know what the status is as of yet. I hope it’s not like the last time. 😢. Oslo’s liver was “angry” with inflammation, which is how he died. The doctor was wondering why now a second dog has liver issues. Vet asked if they got into anything, but if so, we have no idea what because we haven’t done anything different for the last several years. Had a pool for several years. Had same chemicals around and out of access. No idea how or why, but that’s where we’re at. I’m hoping we don’t have to do this again. Last month was hard enough. This is my AuDHD son’s dog.

So sorry for your loss. We had 2 pugs that left us after they turned 10. Then it was almost 10 years before my husband wanted another dog. Then we got 3, down to 1 and now we have 2. I don't know if we'll get another one after these pass but they're suppose to live longer. We pray and hope. Prayers for you and your family on the passing.
