totchipandaI don't what it is about thursdays that triggers my "must post" feelings, but here we are.
Boss has left (sob sob) and other well-trained coworker is on vacation, so it's me and a bunch of newbies. We're getting through it, I guess. I'm trying very hard not to micromanage, or even manage, bc that's not my role, but I am jumping in wherever I need to. (TBF, my interim manager was the manager of the site for several years, and the other person is crushing it at 4 months in)
Wedding is in 2 days. My outfit has not arrived yet, with no updates since the 14th. We aren't sure if it's one of those items that disappears once it gets to Canada or not. I have an emergency plan of hitting up a bridal store Saturday morning if required.
Saturday was Con day. It was underwhelming. Roommate and I spent more on our ticket than on anything else. We stayed for 3 hours and then peaced out.
Sunday I pleated up my Angelica skirt and basted down many of the pleats. Once that's complete, it's "pin to bodice and try on everything. Again." time so as you can imagine I am not especially eager nor properly energized for that.
Especially since these first few days without my boss and after spending a weekend peopling, I've needed to take naps when I get home. So like nothing has happened at all. I haven't even knitted despite having 2 timed knitting projects, one of which I was aiming to have done by Sunday (I haven't started). I've played video games and typed a few words and that's it.
My brain has had MANY MANY MANY difficulties focusing on um anything of late, and it's a problem. Really need to ask my doc about ADHD screening.
This morning I took a self-guided test intended as a informational tool, not a full diagnosis, about the likelihood of having characteristics of autism, or levels of autism that typically score lower on official tests and may not register. A score of 100 or higher is Very Likely, and the person who shared it talked about how surely these experiences are universal! Surely these numbers are skewed, and people are self-reporting JUST under the range!
No. The lowest person in the thread had a 10, and I sent it to someone who scored 25. I scored 131. I was starting to suspect certain aspects of myself would qualify under that umbrella, separate from the anxiety and depression, and the likely ADHD. I couldn't tell you how it's all different, it just IS. More things to ask my doc about. I don't necessarily need pharmaceutical help for some of it (the adhd might be nice, some days its like an out of tune orchestra just blaring their instruments full blast in there and other days its chasing squirrels), but having a label would help. "oh, this is part of that, that's why I'm having this difficulty".
