Spring Cleaning

I found this essential oil blend recipe for anxiety by Sierra Bright. Although I don't have Bergamot, Patchouli, or Roman Chamomile, I tried it with the remaining oils. I made it my own by creating a spray instead of a roll on because I'd just put on another blend for focus. I sprayed it on my neck and wrists, and before a minute had passed I settled down and breathed a relaxing sigh without even realizing it until the sigh was out. I've had a jittery feeling for a few days because of excitement about an upcoming trip and spending money right after I just paid off all of my credit cards.

I started Spring cleaning today. With my ADHD, I have messes everywhere. I had a really good start last year on the KonMari method, but I started it as I moved house. It made unpacking everything nice and easy. Moving in meant new thing and new places for things. I mistakenly never really put any thought into setting up a system, so although my drawers are still organized, the rest of the house is cluttered. with me constantly asking myself where I want to store things, why can't I find anything, and why didn't I put that up correctly? The Marie Kondo book I read last year is titled Spark Joy. I have thought about rereading it, but yesterday I saw the life-changing magic of tidying up in the library, so I checked it out. After one year in my house built from the ground up, it is time to tidy up.

I inevitably lose something when I travel. As such, I arrived home two days ago after an exciting and fun trip to Chicago for Wizard World, seeing people I never dreamed I'd see, up close and personal, getting posters and other things signed which I will treasure forever. The XFiles made my career in the 90's as a Computer Scientist so much easier because of Scully. Men were more respectful of an attractive female simply because there was a character on television who made it acceptable to be a female who had a brain in the professional world.  Today I woke up with the realization that my two very prized treasures from that trip were not in my possession. I struggled for a couple of hours with where they might be, how I lost them, and what I could do to retrieve them. Having lost a 128gb SIM card with three days of vacation photos in New York just a few months ago, I was going through all of those emotions all over again. They are just possessions in one sense, but in real...

Ah, figuring out what is causing a problem is so satisfying. I've been in my new house for 13 months now. I still don't have all of my curtains hung. The ones I did hang were the biggest chore I've ever had with anything ever in the history of my decorating a home. I thought it was the drywall. I bought better drywall anchors after the first set of curtains fell. I had to patch almost every hole in some way or another, but I got the dang things up there. So far they've stayed, but the money I tried to save by buying economy rods has resulted in them sitting wherever they land after I open or close the curtains. I don't hang curtains very often, I forgot about set screws. I don't know if I ever really understood the point of those annoying little things until I couldn't figure out why my curtain rods didn't stay where I wanted them. Lesson learned on economy rods! Months later, the non-essential rooms still don't have their curtains hung properly. T...
