Making a New Rhythm

Last week was a week of milestones. And now, the emptiness has descended. I am not working and I've finished my school program. It's summer vacation, so no more waking to prepare food for my high schooler and then playing taxi driver to drop them off before returning home for a walk around the neighborhood. Now, the day is a collection of errands and chores, none of which are particularly urgent.

Establishing habits - deliberately - is hard for anyone, but particularly hard for someone with ADHD. Medication doesn't really help with that. But that's the challenge for the summer - rebuild a routine.
