A Lot of Work

handful_ofdustThink I got maybe...four hours of sleep last night? But I'm determined to stay up anyhow, mainly because I need to turn my schedule back around. Apparently, there's a recently posted theory that people with ADHD are naturally more inclined to be nocturnal, that their "normal" sleeping pattern is more likely to involve going to bed around 2:00 AM and getting up around 10:00 AM, which certainly sounds familiar; ADHD is part of the spectrum, after all, and a lot of undiagnosed female ADHD traits seem to cross over with my own. But then again, so does a recent Tumblr post about being "male-identified in terms of not liking to feel my own feelings, because it makes me feel like I'm being turned inside-out and boiled alive" (I'm sure I'm paraphrasing here).
At any rate: We're now half a week away from Cal getting braces, and today's his first day back at school after a massive snow-dump on Toronto over the weekend. My hope is that it went well overall, though his teacher did phone me about him still imitating Steve's lingering cough--it's a protest tactic and a stim, as far as I can figure. Also really annoying, but that goes without saying.
Sink is still clogged, and our dryer door keeps popping open, leading to us actually taping it shut in order to get through a whole cycle. This is a regular thing, going by the last few years...stuff that's already on its last legs starts to fuck up yet again, necessitating large expenditures we can't really afford. And the braces are piled on top of this, of course. I may have to reschedule the installation.
In other news, I'm going to Denver to attend Stokercon. Should be "fun." And I'm so tired, so amazingly tired. Covered with sweat. Coffee isn't helping. Ugh.
