If you are napping a lot, it can be real easy to forget to hydrate during the brief time you are awake. Then, dehydrated, you may nap more...
A water pitcher or big bottle by the napping area can help. @blkgirllostkeys has water bottles for sale WITH AN ATTACHED PILL ORGANIZER.
Flocked gloves, masks thick enough to protect the sense of smell, or or some incense, or some Vicks under the nose, aprons, slippers that cover the toes, perfect cushiony socks to wear IN the slippers, headbands for the hair or the head-sweats, good music or a good podcast ❤️💜💙
One way to face your household chore demons is by your five senses. I tackle anything that smells first.
And I mentioned this before so excuse the boredom of it, but if you can find items to HELP you feel less yucky while cleaning, and keep them in plain sight, it can help.
Ok I did pretty damn good!
Yesterday I only did prep due to tech difficulties at the printing store and my back.
Part of my appointment got postponed but a big part was completed. I put off the post office but went to the store for essentials,
2 trips to dog parks today as well!

write to do list

write list for tomorrow’s appt and email it to self

Do you feel confident that nothing perishable is still out on the counter, your keys aren’t in the door, your phone is charged so your alarm will sound tomorrow, and nothing wet is still in the washer? Sleep tighter, I hope all is well!

#ADHD with joint issues, it’s ok to take that extra time to throw on that knee, ankle, or elbow brace before doing A Thing! Or the tiger balm/ben gay/ice hot/bio freeze. You’re worth it.
If self-care to relieve stress seems out-of-reach, might I suggest:
-hot water tub for your feet (forgive yourself for any spills)
-warm pack (or zap small wet towel in the microwave for 30 secs at a time) for nape, neck and shoulders
-cold pack on your forehead
SIMULTANEOUSLY 👍🏾
