I’m feeling a bit slow today. Yesterday, I sensed something was off, but I couldn’t quite pinpoint why. This morning, I felt especially bad—dizzy and incredibly tired. After Tommy left for work, I went to get my pill box to take my medication, only to realize that I hadn’t taken yesterday’s dose! That explains why I felt so out of sorts. I took my medication today and went back to sleep for a few hours before finally showering and getting ready for the day.
My ADHD brain was in overdrive yesterday. My thoughts flitted around like fireflies—bright, fast, and impossible to catch. I started one task, then moved on to another, and yet another, without finishing any of them. My watch sat charging on the dresser all day. I walked into the bedroom several times to get it, but each time I forgot what I had come for. I didn’t even realize I had forgotten my watch until last night when Tommy and I were about to start exercising. It was both frustrating and a bit exhausting.
I’m starting to feel a bit better now. Lexi kindly made me a few pancakes, which I really appreciated. Since it’s nearing lunchtime, I’ll go ahead and say that I’ve had my lunch. Later in the day, if I get hungry, I might have a light snack. Alternatively, I may just enjoy some hot tea to tide me over until dinner. I’m not certain what we’re having for dinner tonight, but I believe there’s some pulled pork in the fridge and chicken nuggets in the freezer. Don’t hold me to that; I’ll need to check later to see what we actually have.
Alex is still asleep. He dozed off on the couch last night while watching Hunger Games. I suppose I should wake him up soon. I figured that with everyone moving around in the kitchen and through the house, he would naturally wake up. Apparently, that’s not the case! Lol!
I ordered my complimentary birthday gift from Sephora, which I do every year. Tomorrow, I’m looking forward to enjoying my free drink from Starbucks. I’m debating between a refresher or a coffee—I’ll see how I feel in the morning. I’m feeling much better now compared to how I felt earlier today. I can’t believe I forgot to take my medication yesterday, especially since I even marked it off in my planner as if I had taken it! It’s a bit concerning that I convinced myself I had taken it when I hadn’t. But given my ongoing memory struggles, it’s not too surprising. Nonetheless, it’s quite something to realize that I thought I had done something I actually hadn’t.
I’ve been coding all day and feel it’s time for a break. I’m considering grabbing a drink, but I’m torn between coffee, tea, or perhaps a soda. Since it’s late in the afternoon, I think I might opt for some hot tea. I need to put away some clothes. Should only take about ten minutes.
My legs are quite sore from my workout last night—leg day, which I don’t particularly enjoy. I prefer arm day because I enjoy working on my arms, but it’s important to focus on my legs, too. I believe I might have had a better workout had I remembered to take my medication yesterday.
I have some stationery saved in my Jetpens cart, but I’m not looking to place an order just yet. Additionally, I don’t currently have space to store my stationery since my desk isn’t ready. My items are still piled on the floor next to my old desk and in a corner of the kitchen table. Among them is a vintage Polaroid One camera, which I’m uncertain about. I don’t want to dispose of it, but I believe it might not be functioning. Perhaps I should take out my film camera and display them together. I’m a bit conflicted about my cameras. I enjoy photography, though I sometimes struggle to remember all the various terms. Taking pictures is enjoyable for me, and I recall a bit from the photography classes I took in college. I like taking pictures with Tommy’s camera but I get nervous because it isn’t my camera and I don’t want to break it. I use my phone mostly, which does a decent job.
Speaking of hobbies I haven’t pursued yet, I haven’t started crocheting, even though I really want to. I just need to take the time one evening to begin. I find it surprisingly challenging to try new things. Anyway, I’ve been rambling on for a bit. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m actually looking forward to it. I made good progress with my coding today; I’m currently working on a pyramid project on FreeCodeCamp. It’s enjoyable, and I’m brushing up on some concepts I’ve forgotten.
Despite the weather app predicting rain, it didn’t rain much today. However, it’s still damp outside, so Merlin had to stay indoors for most of the day.
