I need everyone to see Sweetness watching House M.D. with me (she loves it when I watch TV on my laptop. She hangs out with me like this every time I do)

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.

It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.

I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

And this is why some of my carefully curated wildflower and nasturtium patch is not doing so well. The Groundhog babies have big appetites. I like seeing what they eat and what not, it helps with planning for future seasons. They do not touch peonies or catnip. I like that they eat Burdock, and I am also happy I buried the fence around my veggie garden, even though these guys even climb trees. They make me laugh, so there's that. (I know the angle is not perfect for their size, this is an experimental setup.)

Also, it is my fault for planting stuff that pretty much shoves itself into their mouth 😌

Parker’s got an important question 💌🐟🫶

[probuccalfat]

a lot of ADHD behaviours and barriers feel like sims logic playing out in real time like i did my laundry but i had to pee and sleep so i stopped and i haven’t folded it yet except i can’t fold it yet because i need to eat but i can’t eat because the laundry basket is in front of the fridge. someone keeps queuing actions but they’re getting cancelled

When you point out to people who are against animal testing that there are potentially lifesaving medications that need to be tested on mammals before going to trials that could potentially harm human lives, they’ll say shit like “We should test on prisoners instead.” Bitch. Why are you working for PETA? The WW2-era Imperial Japanese Army needs you. There is suchhhhhhh a strong thread of fascism laced through the current animal rights movement and in so many animal rights spaces and they’re extremely transparent about it.

Good morning with this queen 👑 This is a short little scene but I thought it was so funny how she was all in the center and seemed to unfazed by her surroundings. I slowed things down a bit in the middle. Stay warm and have a fabulous day with good vibes only!

We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.

me, unloading a fitted sheet from the dryer: *squinting* what's that you've got in your mouth

fitted sheet: nothing :)))))))

me, prying open its twisted jaws: na-ah!!! give it to me RIGHT now!!

fitted sheet: *resentfully spits out a wad of 3 very damp dishtowels, a pillowcase, and a pathetically sodden washcloth*
