Snow-ish and Palmstreet and Crystals and AuDHD

It's doing some mix of raining, sleeting, and snowing outside. The temperature is hovering right around freezing, so when my fiancée has to get up and go to work before the sun is up tomorrow... I'm betting the roads are going to be pretty terrible.

At least it looked pretty, for a minute.

Those first moments, when it's so quiet you can literally hear the snow fall, as it lands on branches, leaves, and what's left of the grass. I love that time, it's my favorite. I got a few blissful moments of it today, and it reminded me just how much I miss New England.

*sigh*

The recruiter for the job I interviewed for a couple of days ago reached out to me today to let me know that one of the 4 interviews had to be postponed until early next week, so that means the decision as to who moves to the final round will also be delayed.

Okay, fine.

In the meantime, I've spent the last couple of days taking pictures and videos of crystals, and then cataloging them in a spreadsheet so that my friend A can post them to Palmstreet for her purge. I'm so glad she offered to do that... of course it means I'll lose a cut to the fees, but honestly? It's still free money. 

I gave her the option to take a bigger cut than the percentage Palmstreet takes, for her time in uploading everything, and she declined. 

I also offered to upload everything for her, if she shares her login. She said yes, sure, but then didn't send me her login info. Hehe

This is our world, though... we both have ADHD and we're both Autistic (of course with the PDA profile) so we have to remind each other to do things... basically all of the time.

So, there's that. 

Hopefully the 35 listings (some of which have multiple quantities) will get some good traction. I'm not sure how many plants she's listing.

I'd really like to sell out.

Oh, how I'd love to sell all of the crystals that I'm attempting to sell, because I'm so freaking tired of lugging them all around to different swaps and markets. They're heavy, and it's challenging, difficult labor for me to do, especially if my partner isn't available to help me.

Anyway... this is shaping up to be more of a brain dump than an organized blog post.

I'm OK with that.

I hope you are, too.

I have a job interview this afternoon, and in preparing for it, I looked up the hiring manager on LinkedIn. Inevitably, I looked at my "feed" and who showed up there? AB.  My "former best friend" #3, the most recent one. It still hurts to read what she's up to. It still hurts to know she's out there, living her best little life.  Shouldn't I be happy for her? Shouldn't I be glad she's finding success? Shouldn't I be over my feelings of Fuck you for abandoning me! by now? She extracted me from her life with surgical precision, all because after years of a deep, intimate, boundaried friendship... something about me suddenly rubbed her the wrong way. Something about me suddenly became "dangerous" to her. I'm pretty sure that I'll never understand it. That's OK, I guess... I've been able to move forward, even though I had to fake my own closure. And, really-- isn't closure something we have to create, regardless of ...

You Can't Always Get What You Want

There's so much that I want for my life: I want to be someone who does yoga every day, or almost every day.  I want to be someone who goes for nice, long walks with their dog. Maybe that looks like hiking on trails. Maybe it looks like a walk around the neighborhood. Maybe it's some combination. I want to be someone who prioritizes establishing and keeping "routines" in my life.  I want to be someone with significantly less clutter in my home. I want to be financially free.  I want to grow some of my own food, and to actually have the energy to maintain that and all that it entails. I want to try new things, creatively and otherwise. I want to take classes. I want to go back to attending special retreats and workshops and seminars. I want to travel. I want to own my own home. I want to have my own space in my home, or on my property. I want a studio space where I can keep all of my craft and art supplies and leave things out, knowing they're safe from the cats and...

Here We Go Again

I'm starting a blogging challenge, with the intention of blogging every day for 30 days.  I've heard many people say they "can do anything for 30 days." I am not one of those people.  I start and stop.  Start and stop.  Get distracted.  Remember what I'm supposed to be doing, want to be doing, and then maybe, finally, I get on with it.  Or, I don't.  So, we'll see how I do.  We'll see what I do.  All I know is that I'm in a restless place in my life, where I'm evaluating where I've been, who I've been, and what I've done. I'm examining what has worked for me in the past, as far as self-expression and creativity go, and I'm trying to figure out what still fits, and of course -- what doesn't.  Right now, it is like this: I am not who I used to be, seven years ago, seven days ago, seven seconds ago.  My sense of self feels a bit rudderless. My creativity is in flux.  In most areas of my life, I have no answers... only que...
