high-energy, hyper-focus slob

 Good Morning, you Beautiful People!

 

I hope you are all doing well (or well enough, at least). Today's focus is keeping house. I have renamed my semi-weekly cleaning "Power Hour", and on Tuesdays (yes, it used to be one of my lazy days, but apparently in summer, Thursday works a bit better as a lazy day, I am more likely to have to say "Nope!" to yardwork due to weather), I'm going to do a "Power Hour Plus" -- the "Plus" is an extra 30 minutes (or more, if I *want* to) for those odds and ends that I haven't been getting around to, and/or do those deep clean jobs that don't fit into the hour of focused cleaning I usually do.  For someone with ADHD, I have a rather clean home. I learned how to keep a clean home by accepting that I regularly need to change the way I do some things, while I still stay consistent with others, to satisfy my brain's ability to focus. It's a delicate balance, and I've pretty much got it figured out: quarterly, I assess what's working and what's not working. By nature, I am a slob who sometimes has high-energy, hyper-focused bouts of cleaning. Now, my home is mostly guest-ready most of the time. It's been a lifetime's process to get here.

 

I also have a teletherapy appointment, but after that, my day is open. So I guess I still get half of a lazy Tuesday, right?

 

I'm feeling strong in my sobriety, comfortable with my eating decisions, and committed to spending conscientiously.

 

I hope you find some beauty in your day, and as always, thank you for being here!

And on another note...

We are in the process of lowering our costs (this predates my active attempt with SMART to reduce reckless spending), and our financial advisor specced out a couple of options, and recommended Pacific Life, and started the process for us. Part of the process, of course, was a visit from a nurse. And guess what? I was rejected. We knew that we would have to submit additional forms for my husband's issues, which we did, and he was ultimately accepted. But me? I was rejected because I don't have 5 years of continuous documented sobriety, AND because I was truthful and said that I was being treated for anxiety and depression. I am being treated, on medication for it. I do NOT have suicidal ideation. My liver numbers are FINE. So I was rejected on the grounds that I might relapse or I might stop treatment. I see a Psych-PA, a therapist, and am involved in two sobriety programs. I don't think I'm showing signs of giving up on treatment, ya know?

I'm thinking of sending Pacific Life a nastygram. I have my teletherapy appointment next, so we'll see if she talks me out of it or not.
