We'll meet in SF because I will be on a cruise with my sisters April 28 - May 6.

So, I am only halfway through the Oscar's, but so far I am enjoying it. I can never stay up so late, but it doesn't take too long to watch the next day since I zoom through the commercials. My first comment on the outfits is that I spent a lot more time saying how lovely or perfect for them than I did saying, what were they thinking! That was nice!

Ooooh, this is opening the next block over from me: A classic diner made by Hollywood set designers.

The "before" picture looks like the Blue Jay in my neighborhood.

You took me there when I visited in 2017! It had way more wood paneling than this diner.

That's cool, Tom! I love the notes on the original pictures... heh. "Booths... cool or ugly?"

So, I was evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type on Friday. I'm currently in the "wow, life could've been so different if I had only had a clue," stage of wonder and grief-ish. And looking at what I always thought was depression, "but that doesn't seem quite right, but look at what happens in my life, so I guess it must be depression, and a failure of character for oh-so-many things not achieved right or at all" in a new light. Anyway, a thing I know many of you are familiar with. I'm not sure meds are in my future, though. Anything that increases heart rate is not going to make my cardiologist happy. Do have some resources and getting a referral for someone trained in CBT for ADHD, I think she said.

And I'm starting on semaglutide probably on Wednesday for its heart protective and potentially digestive tract slowing down effects with a side of couldn't hurt to lose some weight either. I mean, I have Type II, too, but my A1Cs are super low these days after all the crap from before, so... well, I mean, I'm supposed to, assuming insurance approves.

Big medical doings in JenWorld. Processing.

In other news, it's super duper windy here today, and my dog looked at me like, "What is this fresh hell?" when I took her out this morning. "You expect me to relieve myself in this, this... whirlwind?" This, after a couple of rainy days of which Princess Birdie also does not approve. Dog's life, man.

Ooooh, this is opening the next block over from me:

Cool beans! I enjoyed the note, hate floor, see what's under. It should be a delight when finished.

It committed to the wood paneling, that's for sure!

I'll say. That's a lot. Breathe deep for a bit.

I read some and then skimmed.

David I am so sorry Matilda is dealing with being bullied and about her friend's mom's diagnosis.

JenP welcome to the club! My brother got the results back from his assessment which was that he didn't she ADHD and it was just depression, probably, and a recommendation for therapy (different type than he is doing now and he wants to change therapists since his hasnt been helpful) and mediation and skills before tying medicine.

My nephew has started driving lessons! I barely get to chat with him because he is busy between school, his part time job, Boy Scouts, the kind of Boy scouts group, swim team and hanging out with his friends and I think I forgot something .

Lovey the now Pirate cat will probably only stay a Pirate cat. His eye got so bad because of an injury that led to the cataract and the complications. But he has moved in with Mom again and she's happy. He seems happy.

M's Mom brought home a kitten yesterday. Didn't tell us, was going to keep it in her room but forgot and left the door open. It got into the computer room and scared the shit out of me when I scared it. Kitten ended up hiding out in our room until M heard him peeing somewhere (I put some puppy pads down but we didn't have a spare litter box). We corralled it and gave it back to his mom. We are both firm that the cat has to go back. Then this morning she and her door open and had no idea where the cat was.

I will be honest the cat is very genetic looking and if it is as cuter I'd have a harder time being firm on no more cats. But his mom doesn't want a cat she wants a kitten. So in a year she's just going to want another one.

Daylight savings is rough to adjust to but daylight when. I get off work is nice.

I havebt talked to my dad in a month ....my parents tend to wait until I call them and I'd like for them to call me...so I've been waiting to see if Dad will call. I did finally text him . This past weekend was his 64th class reunion ! He said he was one of the few people who didn't need some kind of mobility assistance. They did a contest for Most Joint Replacement (might have been tongue in cheek I don't know) and someone had 5..both knees and hips and one shoulder.

And next Tues I will finally get to hangout with crafty friend ! Yay. I feel like I've been in kind of a fog the past couple of months and finally coming out of it
