And then being called lazy and told you just don’t care enough. Haha whooo!
ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.

This morning Niko jumped into the tub only to realize that one of the children had left a couple inches of water in there (no idea why). She proceeded to FREAK out, throwing water all over everything. George had followed me in there so he was like WTF?!

If you plan on supporting Harry Potter in any way you aren’t a trans ally. Full stop. It’s really easy not to engage in that franchise.

Wanted to get some cool close-up photos of the effect this light is having on this flower in the garden but my camera says no and I don’t know enough about cameras or light or anything to understand why. Still looks pretty neat.
