2023 Week XXIV

 Hello Internet,

Sometimes, life just feels a bit like a whirlwind.  

I am not good with transition.  Though ADHD can make me crave novelty and create disorder out of order, I do need routine to thrive, even as I rebel against it.  Right now, routine is hard to find.

I have officially recieved a verbal job offer for the next school year.  I am still waiting on paperwork, but I will be employed in the coming school year.  Tomorrow, Kangaroo starts daycare and Ratatoskr is starting a special summer art program through the school district.  I will have to pick them both up and drop them both off throughout the week, and I am not ready for how that will affect my schedule.

It will be nice to operate on a different, looser schedule on Mondays and Tuesday (which will be the days Kangaroo is attending daycare until the school year starts).  Hopefully, I can use those days to finish a few things that I have been planning to work on, but I do not know how this will change him or his schedule and how that will affect me when he is home.

The not knowing how things will look in the future is where I am worried.  I know that everyone goes through these very same feelings, but it still concerns me.  I always try to plan for the unexpected, and when I do, I become rigid in my expectations and unfairly frustrated in my failures.  For now, I need to take the time while I have it, because Nietzche knows when I will have it again.

That's part of the problem with plans, isn't it? As the cliche goes: life is what happens while you are planning.

Sincerely,

RWS
