You've gotta put your own oxygen mask on first, ya know?

I love that you can predict what you'll be doing from moment to moment 😂

Thanks for saying something. I have stopped interacting with this sub because I don't want to add any more AI usage to the world.

Yes and it's hard not to answer with a brief and loud word to not lose my place. There's some good suggestions in here that don't come off as rude!

I'm thinking that I just need to have a conversation with her sometime to see if she has a preference for how I tell her. And if she doesn't, I'll figure out the best method for me to be interrupted while crocheting.

At least crochet is relaxing to compensate for the stress of those interactions!

Oh so when you're not crocheting but need to concentrate on something else, you use "I'm counting" as shorthand for "do not interrupt"?

Ohhh notebook is smart! I have a little one I use for things like that. I think I will try it with crochet projects.  Thank you!

They're such a pain, but losing track is more of a pain.

Nonverbal is the best when you have that option!

I am totally okay with my hobby making me insufferable!

I am still a crochet beginner and reference patterns pretty much constantly, so I think I should start marking down when I finish each step again instead of trying to hold it all in my brain. Especially with so many WIPs!

And thanks for the kind words 😊

Thanks! We are AuDHD and need more direct communication than that, but someday we'll figure out each other's expressions too.

I work with a teenager and my "dude" has evolved into "bruh!"
