ME TOO! I like to be in control and do it all. And I even had an breakdown with a 98% on a pre-call test in high school and struggled with the 2% missed And I used to give up cooking for a week if I burned something. But I’m much better with cooking now.I have that “all or nothing” thinking a lot. It’s not good for me when I start doing it. When I was a kid, if I got a 98 on an exam, I was obsessed with the 2 points I got wrong. It definitely affects me with weight loss. I used to mess up one meal then give up for days after. I am still working on it. It’s a real challenge.
Since adding ADHD and Autistic people to my feed I keep getting little connect-the-dot nuggets of wisdom.
Thankful for these two little weirdos.
I hadn't found her yet, but added her to my feed - thanks!Do you follow Alis Rowe? Her Autism quotes are usually favorites of mine on Pinterest, but I'm not sure if she puts the same stuff on Instagram.
Your cats are just beautiful!!
Congrats on the scale being down.Our school board met last night and voted to start doing modified quarantine. I’m not even sure what that is yet. But I know our school nurses and administration was against it. So that just frustrates me, which caused me to not sleep well. So I woke up this morning feeling a little discouraged. However, the scale is still down even after I stress ate half a Gertrude Hawk candy bar right before bed. So there’s that
Congrats on the scale being down.
I have a feeling that our journey back to "normal" is going to continue to be a roller coaster until we reach herd immunity. The PUSH in my district has been to fully open by April 19th. I'm losing my 6 foot distanced desks, which in reality are only about 3 feet because the kids can't help but to lean into each other especially when their masks are off because they're eating. The desks are being replaced with tables and plexiglass 3 feet apart...can't wait to see how well that works when a lot of them can't even handle having a name tag on their desk without peeling it off. I will be fully vaccinated by then, but we still don't know if those of us vaccinated will be protected from carrying the virus and infecting others...but let's forge ahead anyway. Then I get the pretty regular call that says "a person in your building has been infected so please read the email to see if you need to quarantine and get tested." I wish we could finish the year as is, and open more widely in the fall.
In the meantime, I empathize with you. Taking 2 steps forward and 10 backward is truly stressful. Thinking we are out of the woods only to be pushed back into them is too much.
I, for one, can't wait for 1. My next vaccination and my family being fully vaccinated. 2. April vacation, so that I can escape this insanity if only for a week. 3. Summer!!!!!!!!!
Feel a hug.
Our school board met last night and voted to start doing modified quarantine.
We asked our grandson to describe his day for us, and in his very long narrative, not once did complain about distancing or masks. He is so happy to be back under any conditions. His teachers are doing an amazing job.A group of parents... dozen maybe addressed the school board on removing masking in the schools here. Yep I can’t even fathom this. Not completely shocked w culture here but still... the complete crazy that leads to this perception? Come on... it’s a cloth mask not a torture device... shaking my head here.
Happy am note - 5lbs down this week This is typical of my first week of getting on task- it will likely be 1 to 2 a wk after but I was really wondering if my age would shift that week 1 result. I’ve lost at least 5 times I think from where I am so sticking to that plan
And did you see where one of our PA legislators wants to withhold funds from schools not fully reopened?? I have said for years every legislator should be required to substitute one day a year in a public school classroom.Our school board met last night and voted to start doing modified quarantine.
