(adhd, household)

[elainegrey]

I woke this morning, thinking about yesterday evening. I'd gotten off work wrung out by context switching and pressure. I'd craved snacks and indulged to fight the blues that swallowed me.

Was that more self medicating, the sense i needed SOMETHING, and sugar or salt might make it better (but no)?

Maybe, maybe, i should see if an ADHD diagnosis is appropriate and if i should try other ADHD meds.

So the upholstery on our couch could stand washing. Oh, look, zippers! I could run these through the wash! This morning i started. Ughh: the back cushions are just loos fiber fill. Fine. I can protect that while the wash and dry cycles run. But the seat cushions - there's "tufting". At the base of the bundled up sheets of foam there's discs of plastic and an anchor for a fabric tape that runs through the foam and then the cushion cover is stitched to the tape. That keeps the fabric from sliding off the foam -- and it may also be keeping the foam strips all structurally connected.

UGH.

Ponder.

Maybe if i replace the seat cushions with one solid piece of foam the absence of tufting wouldn't be such an issue.

You make me contemplate using (yards and yards of) lint tape to get the fur off our chair seats.
