As requested, let’s be human and check in with each other.
How in the hell are you? What did the last week bring? What are you looking (or not looking ) forward to this week? Any rants or raves?
Discussion can be about ADHD or off-topic: This is your canvas, ladies!
As I am not a mod of this community, I do not have the capacity to pin this post. I plan on making a post on Sundays where we can check in throughout the week as needed.
Please let me know if there is a better way of doing this - any ideas are welcome :). Grateful to be a part of this community.
I had a pretty good week overall. My favorite highlight was going to Denver Botanic Gardens for their annual Blossoms of Light. They hang lights on all the trees and structures, and it’s magical (see pic below)!
As you may have seen by my post on Saturday, I did not have a great morning in terms of executive functioning, but it got better. It’s so helpful to have a supportive partner, and I got fucking lucky in this regard.
And then this coming week? My son is off school, so I took some time off as well. So excited about that! For Thanksgiving, I ordered a Beef Wellington from a local restaurant. Never had it before, and really looking forward to trying it.
I have been reading a lot of your comments on other posts, and I’m still so angry to hear all of your stories about misdiagnosis or being dismissed and treated poorly by the medical community. My inner justice warrior wants to do something about it, and I already do in my profession (I’m a therapist), but I want to do more. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
oooh i live n the front range and didnt know the botanical gardens had this winter event, looks cool 😍
It’s absolutely beautiful, and they have 2 cafes that are open if you want to grab a hot drink. I recommend grabbing tickets now if you want to go because they do tend to sell out for the best days. You can read more and buy tickets here.
