Monday Milestone!

Movie Music Monday will return next week. Every now and then you have to celebrate your accomplishments, so I will do that today. I have a tendency to get sidetracked.

Health Update

I got a couple emails asking, so I thought I'd give you an update.

As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, I had a doctor visit to discuss the results of all of the ADHD testing. I will tell you that it was about as thorough as you … Continue reading The Answers Bring More Questions … and Hope →

The last few posts have been all about books, so I figured I would just toss out a bit of an update. We Have Curbs The road project is almost done! We have curbs! We should have a street soon and hopefully sidewalks and the rest of my driveway, too! This headache cannot be over … Continue reading Wednesday Randomness →

Closer to Answers?

This morning, I had a telemedicine visit to discuss whether or not I qualified for ADHD testing. You may recall a few months ago, there was some discussion with my PCP and my therapist about whether or not this is something I am dealing with. I blogged about it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/05/03/mayday-mayday-i-have-problems/ In the 45 minute … Continue reading Closer to Answers? →

Anxiety, Depression, Stress, OCD, and now possible ADHD. (For those who have reached out and asked, I am currently waiting … Continue reading May Is Mental Health Awareness Month →
