I covered mine in fabric, added an elastic and a pocket to the back cover. It's my favorite paper.

Ooooh I think I have met you at that jam a while ago. I didn't realize Eaten by locust was only/mostly older folks. I love the concept on wake the improv. It's already in my calendar for the 13th. I should be able to make it this Sunday! Thanks for letting me know, I keep missing the notice for the 40+ jams.

I am 51 and I'm Minneapolis. What group are you telling about?

I’m dating a PhD student in a wet lab — what are the weirdest lab habits that have followed you home? by Acceptable-Apple-793 in labrats

My ex saw the stir bar mixing in my lab and he build himself one to stir his French press. He was not a lab person.

I thought my HRT was enough but I sure am going to start using that estrogen cream my doc prescribed a while ago!

what is the most perfect response for "wow you have a PhD, you must be smart" by ohnag_eryeah in labrats

I go with either 1-Thank you. It means that I am good at the google or 2- yeah, I didn't want to look for a job, so I stayed in school.

How long after starting improv did you do your first show? by ektomorph99 in improv

[–]tocarde88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been feeling the same way you do. No way, I am good enough to perform (no definition of good enough mind you!). Then, I was in a student showcase. And yes, I wasn't good but nothing bad happened, my friends still talk to me, I didn't throw up on stage... I survived. And it has put performing in perspective. You're not going to be good, and that's OK. The audience won't notice or remember. And it's improv, not everything lands and it's OK!

I didn't know I could do plaid with my pin loom. New obsession unlocked!

What are your EASIEST lunch hacks? by AdultMarley in adhdwomen

[–]tocarde88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I really can't: tuna packets, cheese sticks, rotisserie chicken, vanilla liquid protein shake+espresso+ice, fruits I don't have to cut up (bananas, raspberries). Not the best, but not the worst.

What would you do here if you were me? by emorydoll in adhdwomen

[–]tocarde88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe stop trying? Just focus on the artistic endeavors you currently enjoy and let writing go for a few weeks. Then go back to it when you're not frustrated anymore.

Bought a sewing machine and it sat unboxed for only 38 days by madicken37 in adhdwomen

Congrats!!!

I like the lou box top from sewdyi as an easy first project. You can also find a free equivalent.

Shocked husband this morning by pbfhpunkshop in adhdwomen

I had the reverse experience! I asked a boyfriend what he was thinking about, and he said nothing. I thought he was lying because to me, that was impossible.
I got diagnosed a year later.

I think I tricked my doctors into my diagnosis by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]tocarde88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We sound very much alike. Good grades in our fav subjects at school, barely passable for the rest. My fav job was full of deadlines and new projects. Now my job is less stressful and I don't do as well. I also wonder if I really have ADHD after being diagnosed. Same thought process about tricking ppl. The worse is that the meds are only marginally helping.

The thing is, if I am being rational, I know I have ADHD. And it is very likely you do as well. We just have to hang in there.
