Hey @outlander
It is great you have negotiated a good arrangement with and for pop. Dealing with income and housing issues is hard.
You are right, breaking up all the things to do… helps… it is the only way larger tasks get done…. Almost like we need to be able to shift focus from small jobs… Eg make phone calls… get cash…. Check bank accounts… shop… drive here and there… and keep shifting focus back and forth to the big picture… and then next step…
just up and down atm… as in literally vertical and horizontal…
I love the idea of jobs not competing… lol @Former-Member very topical in our house…lol
I was tired and mucked up a kitchen shelf getting it dislodged… my son said have a rest… so I lay down and hopped on forum….but… it was my job to put the meat away… and now we have live furry beings who can jump on benches… even though they are getting the message they are not supposed to…lol…. Oops son came, told me and I leapt out of bed to rescue the meat… my bad I was doing too many things at once!
so there are priorities… actually getting the kittens trained… will take time… trying to fix that time is an unnecessary stress….the grownup isn’t totally trained yet! lol
I do have a problem in pushing myself too hard … not knowing when enough is enuff. If I push myself into non compos zone mistakes can happen, even though mostly I do muddle through alright.
@Agirl @Sorry you are struggling, but I hope you find some relief on the forums. It’s a good bunch of people.
@Bunniekins hope you all have a great family day celebrating your daughters birthday. Yep, Aspie here.
