Daily Prompt 3/24/23
Oh, there are so many things to choose from, but I’m going to go with something that I think is almost universally applicable: Most people don’t understand a damn thing about anything until it actually happens to them. People without anxiety don’t understand how hard it is to live with anxiety and how saying things…

Colonial Williamsburg
We made it to our vacation destination! This place is amazing! We went on a haunted tour tonight, which was fantastic. Tomorrow we are doing a program called Women in the Trades and Boy #2 is shooting a musket. He doesn’t know yet, though. I am so excited for him to find out tomorrow afternoon.…

What is your favorite type of weather? I love fall weather the best. I like the cooler temps, the evenings outside around a fire, and the start of school, football, and holiday prep. But I also love the sunlight we are getting now. It’s almost 12 full hours of sunlight here and I am crazy…

Day 1
Today is Day 1 of me trying a new Adderall generic. So far I love it! It works better than anything else I’ve taken and being on two pills per day is amazing. It’s such a huge difference taking two, rather than one pill per day. I think I sleep better and feel better in…
