Jesus christ, dude. I'm here scrolling through posts at 2 AM in a dark room because I'm having trouble sleeping, and this picture scared the shit out of me. RIP my chances of going to sleep any time soon.

Too many things, sporadically!

I tend to hop between different craft types randomly, depending on my current interest. But some of the ones I've enjoyed at various times the last year or so are crocheting (learning how to make little stuffed animals right now!!), watercolor and gouache painting, putting miniature kits together, origami, simple jewelry making, pottery, etc! :)

Yeah they're great! I got a super long flat white one and those little white plastic staple things you can lightly hammer into the wall, and ran it along the baseboard of the walls, makes it nearly invisible! It was a bit tedious to do (which is why I haven't yet redone it in the place I live now, although I will), but honestly I super recommend it. My partner wanted to try and run cords through the walls but I was way too nervous about what might go wrong, so found this solution instead lol

Medicine. Without it, I'm not able to do much of anything, regardless of whether it's a work day or not, or whether I want to do the thing or not. Not sure how helpful that is to hear, though :/

Also, oopsies, I thought I was in one of the ADHD communities when I wrote my original comment, but apparently not!

I have "Do Nothing" days. It's really the only way I survive, honestly.

During many parts of the year, my job and home lives are extremely hectic and stressful. Whenever I can, I designate a "do nothing" day, which helps my brain actually take advantage of resting that day without thinking "omg I need to do this, and this, and this", etc. Usually it ends up being a Saturday, and while I'd love for it to be weekly, I'd say I have them more like twice a month or so.

The rules for a Do Nothing day are that I Do Not Do Anything Important, I don't even leave the house - just chill, play video games, read, craft, garden, watch TV, sleep, etc. Whatever feels right. It makes picking back up with the stress the next day much easier to handle. Plus, I find it's really hard for me to ever relax even when I do have a moment to do so, so I would usually waste all that time anyway throughout the week just straight up worrying about what I should be doing. At least by doing this I combine all that time into one day, and I actually use it to relax!

I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It's been nice :)

I really miss playing Sims and Sims 2 growing up. That, and the random other Sims games, like Sims Theme Park. I loved those.

I do still play Sims 4 but MAN the amount of basic game content that is locked behind a million different DLCs is insane.

I enjoyed playing Cookie Clicker, but probably because I only really played it for a month or so - I can imagine playing that any longer would not be worth the time 😅

I loved being able to play Overwatch casually with friends whenever we felt like it, which was usually like a few times a month or so. I'm very sad about the OW2 situation :(

My biggest complaint is how it CONSTANTLY changes. I started playing back in season 2, and played pretty consistently for at least like 5 years or so. Then life got busier, and I would have to drop it occasionally for a few months. But then when I'd pick it back up, there were tons of new things to learn or find out no longer existed, every single time. It was exhausting to catch back up on to a point where the game was playable and fun again. I kept that up for a few years, but then spent just a little too long not playing one of those times and the barrier to re-entry was just too big, so now it's been like 2 years since I've played. And honestly, I don't miss it.

Oh shit no way, I didn't know that? Is that the case for most of the random reddit bots? For some reason hearing that the RemindMe bot is dead as well makes me extra sad 😥

I was scrolling through "all" and thought this was a legit ad at first 😅
