It’s like a nature channel outside my office window this morning! Notice my cat Mochi’s reflection in the window for the squirrel pic. 😂

Happy Thanksgiving! Or....happy turkey day, ham day, tofurkey day, eat then nap day, wear your stretchy pants day....or whatever day it is to you and yours! 😁

To me, it'll always be ALL YOU CAN EAT DESSERT DAY! 🥧🍰🧁🍨🍪

Because my little vacuum is getting displaced by the Christmas tree this year… 🎅

I love when restaurants provide nutrition facts about their dishes because sometimes when I’m trying to order to meet certain dietary needs, my expectation of a dish’s nutritional value and reality do not align BY A LOT. For example, I was about to order a a side of roasted veggies at a restaurant but then saw it was 27 grams of fat and nearly 300 calories. What in the world are they doing to these veggies??? 😲😲😲

ME: I'll deal with problems as they arise. ANXIETY: I've already RSVP'd to all of them. You're welcome! Who else is a pre-worrier? 🫣😅

My nails and I have a casual relationship…We check in sometimes, but mostly we do our own thing. 🫣😂💅🏻

Late 40s: I'm apparently done with my acne breakouts era and well into my "random rashes and other weird skin irritations on my face" era. 🥴😬😬

Chocolate doesn't ask questions. Chocolate understands. I tried to eat healthy today... until life happened and chocolate reminded me who’s boss. 🫣😅

TODAY'S FORECAST: 98% chance I forget the clothes in the dryer and "reheat" them like leftovers...again and again. 😅

How many times do you have to re-fluff, rewarm, or de-wrinkle your dryer load because you forgot about it? My average is around 3 times....more on a particularly distracted day. 🫣 Poor clothes.

Fellow ADHDers…do you also need a focus support human just to survive a doctor’s appointment? 😬

Since hitting my 40s, I now see what feels like A LOT of medical “-ists,” and every time I walk into an appointment, no matter how well I try to plan out what to say, inevitably verbal diarrhea ensues. Somehow, my “quick” explanation of my symptoms turns into a full-blown oral history of my entire body and its questionable decisions since college. 🫣😅

Do I leave my appointments with answers? Sometimes. Do I mentally replay everything I said afterward and cringe? Every. Single. Time. 🥴
