Unsolicited Mom/Grandma advice

Dear young tumbles

Please reach out for help when you are struggling mentally. I felt depression creeping in the last couple weeks and yesterday that stupid depression voice in my head was screaming and drowning everything else out.

One conversation with my loved ones telling them what was happening helped me so much! That stupid voice is just a whisper now and I’m back on my way to feeling better. BTW the voices name is Jen don’t call me Jenny But she can STFU!

Anywhooo I wish I had reached out last week and saved myself from that horrible time fighting her myself, but sometimes that is hard to do and I am feeling hopeful now.

My advice young tumbles is to please reach out to family, friends ,anyone you trust, including health professionals as soon as your own Jen starts whispering awful thoughts in your head.

You are not what she says and she’s a lying bitch.

You are loved and you are worthy. You shouldn’t try to fight it alone. You are not alone.

I'm making this statement over here, too, for transparency's sake:

last June I began helping caretake for an elderly relative with dementia, and while I know what I'm doing is important, the circumstances around the caretaking (which I'm keeping private, for now) has made it extremely hard.

I'm often stressed, or tired, and trying to juggle my personal and professional life to keep everything working. I have more opposition than I do support, which adds to all of the above, of course. but I'm doing my best.

all this to say I especally appreciate everyone's kindness and patience right now while I try to get through this. it hasn't been easy, but I know there are people who still enjoy what I do, and that means a lot to me, and is very useful on the bad days. thank you 💖💜🖤

Unsolicited Mom /Grandma advice on Laundry.

Stop beating yourself up if you didn’t fold and put your laundry away! No one cares and you don’t have to. If you live out of baskets or even the dryer you are doing great. Give yourself a high five and kudos to you. That’s a huge accomplishment! Also it’s ok to wear clothes a couple times before washing them if you are not sweating in them profusely. Be kinder to yourself. Spray Fabreeze on that shirt. It’s all good.

[dndmomquotes]

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

These are the oil diffusers. They hold about 8 mL of fragrance oil. I’m unsure of how long it lasts though, as my test one I made does not appear to have changed at all. So the good news is they seem to last a long time.

What do you think? Should we go ahead with these or should we switch back to the paper air fresheners?

The leftovers

I watched the Leftovers when it was released in 2014 and thought it was so poignant and insightful on how people would react if a large portion of the population was just gone. I believe it was 2% . And then I lived through the Covid outbreak in 2020 which I think was 1.% and the series didn’t age well. I don’t remember any mention of fake news or get back to work or restart the economy being mentioned in the series. In the series they comped the survivors of departed a substantial amount. Pretty sure it was more than 600 bucks. I guess now we know. Now we know how the government would react. Keep the economy going. That’s what’s important. Now we know.

Surprise! Hiatus over soon

We had to go to the dentist today for @its-voxid and after our insurance, we will have to pay $3500!!! Our insurance is paying for about half of it, so thank the gods, but still that's a lot of money to come up with as quickly as possible - this is not including the root canal he has to have before they can do this other work.

So I am literally ordering soap supplies and will be doing a small store update on Etsy - since I don't have to pay a sub like I do with shopify - and there will be 6 fragrances, both of which will have dice and no dice options.

I'll have my supplies by the end of the week, and will be opening next week sometime. More details soon.
