You came back!

Wow. It’s like seeing an old friend. Crazy. Some good and bad trips down memory lane here. I try to focus on the good ones. Hope to find some of my old noters. I’ve been writing on another platform for a while, under the same name. Don’t like that one as much as OD. May try to transfer those entries here. So here I am. 4 years older. And I guess 4 years wiser. Still married.  Still have 2 kids. No dogs anymore sadly. We said a very heartbreaking goodbye to them last summer. Shortly thereafter a new kitty came into our lives and has been a joy since the day we brought him home. Still at the same job – this is a record for me. My sister lost her battle with cancer in 2015. It changed me. I don’t think anyone goes through that kind of loss unchanged. Still have my addictions.  S was diagnosed with ADHD. In all the research and reading on the subject – guess who else was diagnosed?  Yep. Me.  It’s actually pretty common nowadays that previously undiagnosed parents are getting diagnosed along with their children. S has been on meds for a year and a half and is doing wonderfully. I have been on meds for about a week and I’m doing ok. One huge change I have seen so far is that I don’t binge eat. BED (binge eating disorder) is actually found in a lot of ADD/ADHD cases. I’m not finding that I have a ton more focus on work (probably cuz I hate this place) but if the only thing this medication does is control the BED then I am fine with that!

‘Nuf for today I guess. It’s good to be back. Namaste my friends.
