Some goals I was journaling about this morning:

I want to let myself enjoy my work and have fun. I want to look forward to the next day's work. Same with rest. I want to let myself be inspired and drawn in by whimsy. I want a work flow *and* a rest flow.

I love Spirit City!! So cozy and immersive

Shout out to every trauma survivor working today to shift a belief or behavior that no longer serves you. It's awkward, it's annoying, it's tiring, it can be scary. And, it's how we change how we feel & function over time-- by doing it even though it sucks.

You're doing it.

That's perfect!! Lol!

I agree with this. We need people to change their minds and help us fix this. However, there were definitely people out there warning about this stuff. People get to be wrong, and people get to be angry about the harm that was caused. Accountability means owning the truth and making amends.

13 balls and 2 larg hanks of purple yarn sit on a table.

When you're too sick to function, but you still have ADHD. You decide to recycle the yarn from that huge knitted blanket you have with the big hole in it.

Two tuxedo cats are snuggled together in a cat bed.

Mori Pori is on the left and Freyja Bear is on the right. I took this at like 3 in the morning. They like to stand guard in the hallway while we're sleeping.

Two things are usually happening when we're being gaslit: our reality is being questioned, & we're being blamed.

Pay attention to when you're feeling "crazy" & blamed, & get in the habit of pushing pause, breathing, reorienting, & reality testing.

This happened last night and cracked me up.

V: *comes in to say goodnight*

Me, nasally and hoarse, obviously sick: Hi!

V: *stops dead in their tracks and backs out of the room*

Me: 😂😂 Fair enough!

A polydactyl tuxedo cat lays with her head and front paws peeking out from under a green blanket. Her head is on a pillow. She is very comfy.

We're spending the afternoon together. I'm writing at the table, and she's all tucked in and cozy.

That's some really nice coparenting as well.

😂 "This update has broken something major and you will need someone tech savvy to revert your computer back to the previous version."

Kids have a developmental phase from like 10-15 where they're hyper independent. It suuucks! It's not personal, and it's okay to insist on hanging out. It's good for them to have a mix of independence and quality time. Once adulthood looms closer, kids usually gravitate towards their parents again.

Graphic design is intimidating. Hope a little rest and some fresh eyes help you find your flow.

The older I get the more my naps sneak up on me

All the kids grew up, had ther own kids, and then those kids grew up and had their own. Now, many of those kids are grown or nearly grown. Grandma and her siblings have passed. It took 40+ years, but we're too spread out now. What a run! I'll deeply miss these parties, but am forever glad they were.

My grandma's family does a yearly Christmas party the first weekend of December. I haven't been able to go in 20 years, but the pictures are online the next day without fail. This year was their last one. It feels like something stable and grounding is ending. The reason? ⬇️

PSA

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between.

We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

I say do what makes you happy. Let other people's emotions be theirs to deal with and flow your flow.

Accommodations aren't special treatment. Disability isn't a privilege. Diagnosis, however, is a privilege. So, we don't need to be hypervigilient or make examples of people who ask for more help without their proper paperwork. Working in nondisabled ways isn't superior to disabled working.

Ah yes, 'tis I.

The only thing worse than a super vivid nightmare is the weird middle ground sleep thing where you can't wake up enough to reset.

That's an incredibly vivid and intense dream. That energy must have really clung to your nervous system after you woke up.

Pay off debt, invest in my business, and travel. Maybe rent a cool little studio space to work in.

Ooh! 😍

6 hours to go and we are literally less than $150 to our goal! If you have a sec, give this a re...tweet? repost? reskeet?... in case someone out there could use a solid unf*cking to kick off the year
