No morning routine was had this morning. Had yet another lie-in until about 8:30am. I seem to be in a bit of a funk this week :-/ I know I originally thought I wouldn't go on meds for ADHD but I am beginning to think that they might stop these dips in my mood. I seem to go through stages of complete burnout where I have no motivation to do anything and can't shift it. Just imagine how shite I would feel during these moods if you added alcohol into the mix. Not only would I have the already low mood I am experiencing but also the come down form a weekend of alcohol. It was definitely the right decision to give it up completely. It will be my 6 months soberversary soon and it actually feels like it has gone by really fast.
Anyway, I got myself up and went to my appointment in Barnoldswick which always helps to get me out of the house and in front of someone as you have to 'turn it on' and before you know it your brain thinks you are in a good mood. I definitely think human interaction helps shake the funk cos when the girls lived with me we would have 'family sharing' round the dinner table every night and go through our day and get stuff off our chest etc. I miss them two :-(
When I got home I decided to make the Tiktok carrot salad that has been doing he rounds to see if it was as nice as they say...OH M"Y GOD, it is SOOOOOO tasty. You wouldn't think with raw carrot being the main ingredient could taste so good. Anyhoo I loved it and will make it again tomorrow. I did video it but haven't edited it yet but will try and do it tomorrow with the recipe. I didn't measure the ingredients I just added them to tast and it turned out fine. I had mine with chicken kiev and crushed new potatoes. Mmmmmmm. I actually ate half the salad while I waiting for the potatoes to cook lol.
Had a few games on the PS4 with Fi until quite late actually. It might not be helping not getting 7 hours sleep lately. It's been taking me l0nger to get off to sleep and then once I get in my head about being restless it's a vicious circle. I need to find my bedtime routine again.
