Morning...
Aww.. I feel for your DS15 LadyM. First loves, when we are teens are very hard on our souls.
In answering the questions about my new plan: Its set up so what are really my morning routines have a checklist. The evening checklist is almost the same as my evening cards. What I like is the ease of being able to see what I need to do in case I should forget.
The beginning of each week has a reminder of what we might call a "focus". Examples are: Organize pantry, deep clean refrigerator, Organize under the kitchen sink. Each of these are simple ideas that I sometimes don't focus on.I like that they are not overwhelming.
Each day of the week has chores to do.
Sunday: Grocery shop, Clean out purse
Monday: Clean mirrors,Dust light fixtures and fans, vacuum house
Tuesday: Clean out fridge, mop hard surfaces, take out trash, Clean microwave and stove.
Some of these thing like cleaning the stove I do daily. Of course you can move what you want to do each day around, but for me, most of what is listed for each day is listed on my card for that day. My laundry day is on Thursday and its the same on my planner. There are plenty more checklist That are separate.
Company coming checklist with daily suggestions of things to do the week before guests arrive, a vacation check list. Spring cleaning and yard and home maintenance check list, just to name a few.
I like the planner because it reminds me to do certain things I sometimes don't think to do.
Neurodivergent is a very common word among the Autistic community. The word "spoons" is often used to judge or rate where an autistic person is in their daily life. Usually they talk about having 10 spoons when they wake up and depending how stressed out their day is, they will use the term spoons to let others, some Neurodivergent, some non-Neurodivergent...the term they use for those who are not autistic, where they are during the day.
As a side note, some autistic people refer to those who are not as NA's, meaning Non-autistic. LIke...I have a friend who is an NA.
An example of this is when Twins says she's all peopled out. An autistic person would say they have no spoons left. Sometimes autistic people, or kids will say ...I've used up 4 of my spoons and it only lunch time, or I'm all spooned out by 4pm,. The term was designed to help communicate what the frustration level is with autistic people because often they have terrible melt downs once they have no more spoons left.
I have a grocery list with things I need to buy to be ready for my Christmas Eve dinner and plan to go the to grocery store in just a while. We have a Christmas Festival at our community club house late this afternoon and I plan to drag Sweetie there. They are serving sub sandwiches and other goodies to eat. That way I don't have to make dinner...This little girl is no fool
