Overwhelmed

No idea how to begin.

Life has been… well.. life-ing. Entirely too much.

I am behind on nearly everything. Work. Podcasting. Volunteer obligations.

Most days, I am just treading water, just trying to stay afloat.

Of course, my attention span is absolutely shot. I was actually thinking of how to process my ADHD tendencies.

I relate so much to this:
Women with ADHD often feel a heightened emotional sensitivity, which can affect their relationships and self-image. Overcompensating for symptoms by trying to be perfect or working excessively hard to hide their difficulties. This perfectionism can lead to burnout and stress.

Hmm.

Honestly, my photo should be next to this explanation.

::update:: I have to be 100% transparent - I wandered away from this post for a good 7 days. Guess that ADHD thing is, ya know, an actual THING.

I did do some things to help alleviate some stress. A friend and I signed up for a Kilt Run, which raises funds to support a very popular local St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Costumes and silliness is encouraged so I went for it. It was a lot of fun even though it was extremely windy. After the run, my friend and I went out to lunch and had a couple beers, for recovery and rehydration.

Got my house in order on Sunday and even prepared a tasty albeit early St Patrick’s Day dinner. Gotta admit that my soda bread was fucking delicious.

Also signed up for another 20 mile Mammoth March - this one will be held in Virginia. Next month. I will be doing this one solo. I am a little nervous about that but this ain’t my first rodeo. In fact, this will be my 6th Mammoth March! I’ve got a month to get my shit together.

Bring. It. On.
