    My anxiety guides me.

    Today I get to bask after three days of deep cleaning my home! It is a good day today!

    Though, getting a new dishwasher installed is what sparked it, anxiety drives me to get my stuff done. Why waiting until last minute sometimes can produce my best work (yet sometimes can cause disaster still).

    I also pushed myself onto a leadership position at my work once. A two year commitment. I had to do a lot of public speaking, I absolutely hated it, and cursed myself for doing it to myself, but it was to bring me out of my comfort zone and I knew the payoff was to help and be a voice for my fellow employees I represented. It was tough.

    Hell yeah, for me, using my anxiety as a driver for change has been massively helpful in my life. Face it- then its faced, I still have the anxiety but I understand it and can objectively react to it in a positive way. Introspection is a hell of a thing.



  • I think about the car thing a lot, as we may need a new one in a few years.

    My husband’s father leased a new BMW. He picked us up on easter with it. The whole front is a giant screen. You wave your hand a certain way, it can change the song or adjust the volume… by waving your hand. While he thought it was cool, all I could think about was the fact something was visually recording every movement in the car. And what if you’re a person who talks with their hands?

    Stupid fucking needless features.


  • sitting in the office waiting to die 8 hours a day

    That is exactly why I absolutely thrived in manufacturing. Well, the right type of manufacturing. I’d rather die than work in an office. I lasted exactly one month at my one and only desk job before I had to quit and find something different.

    I don’t write often anymore either, but recently tried to write a letter to someone, wow after a few sentences could I notice how out of practice I was. I ‘jot things down’ all the time, but a letter, paragraphs, whew.

    I think it’s tough, because many degree jobs are all desk jobs, so it’s like, you want the degree and good money, but the work, doesn’t sound fun. Im glad wfh has helped though, thats great



  • When I finally have a day where I get all the house chores done, basking is the end goal of it.

    Nothing is better to me, than basking in a freshly clean home. Bare feet on clean floors, lighting the candle when Im done, and just enjoying the delightful place I’ve cleaned and made pretty.

    Trying to teach my severly adhd son about basking. He’s not getting it yet, but my god a job well done deserves a moment. Appreciate yourself!




  • I still rinse, but as of late have taken to using mouthwash between meals each day.

    The mint hurts my mouth. I use a specific toothpaste, but I’ve used many kinds, they all hurt the inside of my mouth. I have to rinse to make it stop. Idk if other people think tooth paste hurts. My dentist compliments me on my teeth, they are not in terrible shape, my teeth dont hurt, its my mouth. idk what it is that makes toothpaste hurt but I have to compulsively rinse.
