Polar Vortex
I feel like I’m stuck in some twisted version of Groundhog Day and it’s Christmas break and no one is allowed to leave the house.
I have tons to do. Tons. But everyone is here. No school. No work. Even the post office is closed.
This ADHD mom can’t focus for shit.
Roll with it.
The road you’re on doesn’t always go the direction you’ve planned.
Just go with it. Roll with it. There’s always a reason. You don’t always get to know it.
This is currently the biggest life lesson I’m trying to teach my college freshman. Relax your expectations. Enjoy the view.

My mother’s version of New Years Eve questioning: “There won’t be alcohol at this party, will there?”
My version: “The party is at one place, right? No one is driving? And you’re staying the night? Good. Now, do you have enough liquor? What about mixers? Alright, have fun!”

Can’t leave the house. Was supposed to have lunch with a dear friend. So far I haven’t made it to shower.
I bring it on myself. I know this. Procrastination at its best.
And today I have amazing focus. No one is home. I’ve swept floors, shook rugs, and burned boxes. And laundry-the song that never ends.
So I’m focusing on the wrong things. Again. Overthinking my to-do list. Again.
And meanwhile, continuing to fight the panic attack that’s been growing for 2 weeks.
Just do it. 1.20.19
God, what a cliche. And I’m old enough to remember when it was new!ðŸ¤
So true. Oh so true. I procrastinate so badly. On every stupid thing and on important things.
I finally started a planner page I’ve put off for literally weeks. Drawing lines on graph paper. The 2018 calendar has caused me giant anxiety for weeks-what of I do it wrong – ITS my freakin planner, dumbass, who cares?!?
So I did it. Smoking in my garden shed. I feel better now. Cold-its 17 degrees , but lots better.
I just did it.
