Birthday. Month August 30 and 31: Epilogue
Sep. 7th, 2023 08:38 amSo I didn't get the last two days of the month posted.
(Cue a momentary recollection of Allie Brosh's DO ALL THE THINGS: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html)
The work of the month did succeed, though, because an intensely creative series of days at the workbench is why I didn't get the last two days of August posted. Well, that, plus the way my sleep schedule slid around until it was almost conventional. (No, not our kinds of conventions. You know what I mean.) Anyhow, I wound up making rather than posting, and that's how it went.
There are new pieces to put up in the Etsy shop, and to talk about here. Apparently my rainbow battle armor thing is still thinging. So that's what I did.
It's hard work not apologizing for it, but I've spent too many decades apologizing for what I call being an ADHD monster, and I'm done with that, because not only does it not help, it makes things worse. I'll apologize in particular circumstances if I make problems for someone else, but that means I will apologize for what I do, not for what I am.
Is there something you are done apologizing for?
Bonus questions: When you look away from whatever screen you're reading this on, what do you see that makes you glad? What do you see that helps you take a breath and relax? What do you see that helps you do what you do?
