I was supposed to move in with Devin next weekend but his place was very badly damaged overnight due to a weird freak plumbing failure. All the renovations we’ve been working on for months destroyed 😭 feels like a cruel joke.

I had issues with my ears all summer and could barely hear anything and now that it’s resolved, every sound seems so unbearably loud. Like I truly cannot deal. Anyone know of good ear protection for someone who needs to hear her kids but not be driven up the wall by them?

I had a call with an FSCD caseworker the other day who actually seemed like she wanted to help me and my family and it’s weird how surprising and unfamiliar that felt when it should definitely be the bare minimum in a social services role

The amount of effort it’s taking to get my fam moved into Dev’s house is burning me out hard but also confirming that there’s no one else I’d rather be stressed and tired and miserable with

Been doing a lot of home renos I honestly have no business doing lately and I see why dudes love this. It’s just giant arts and crafts with the thrill of maybe getting maimed by your power tools.

I’ve never read/watched Harry Potter because it just never interested me but my favourite books from my childhood that I was hugely obsessed with were by a homophobe and I just stopped engaging with them a long time ago because I’m not 12 anymore and there is other media.

Is it normal or an AuDHD thing to have like a backlog of special interests to get into when I have a chance? I cycle through them every couple of years and my attention can only be split so many ways at any given moment but like. I’m just waiting for my moment to get really into model trains.

We’re renovating to make room for me and my kids in Dev’s house and I simply cannot believe how much my body hurts after a few days of real work. This soft email job body cannot hang. Thought taping drywall would be relatively chill but now my hand is swollen and stuff. Jesus Christ.

I had bleached hair until I recently cut it short enough that it’s all my natural colour. Now I’m noticing greys for the first time. But specifically I’m noticing them falling out all the time? Just grey hairs lying around my room? Is this a thing, that grey hair falls out more?

I solved Edmonton’s crappy summer weather with the power of murphy’s law (the fan I keep in my bedroom broke and it immediately got hot and sunny)

Watched Jim & Andy, the doc about the making of Man on the Moon, and once again was reminded that diagnosing and understanding level 1 autism is important because having a kid with Jim Carrey and blaming vaccines for that kid being autistic is beyond absurd.

My mom (who has Alzheimer’s) was asking questions about my boyfriend so I showed her a picture and she goes “oh I know him! I like him! Tell him I recognized him.” Which was cute, but she hadn’t recognized ME that day 😅 I cannot compete with his old lady rizz

I was watching an ad for mouth tape that you wear at night to stop mouth breathing in your sleep and I was like hmm maybe but idk that there’s a point at night where I’m ready to say “ok I’m so sure I’m done yapping that I’m ready to tape my mouth shut”

Getting my tires replaced and I can see my car from the waiting room. She looks so vulnerable without her wheels on. This is undignified.
