I hadn't taken my meds yet, and it was generally a foggy brain morning. I was already trying to decide what to do with the day when my husband asked.

Ladies, I seriously damn near cried cause I didn't know what to say and my brain went "MEEP!"

Thankfully, my husband recognizes these moments and reassured me I had all the time in the world to decide and gave me options, which was helpful.

I spent half the day lost in my phone. πŸ™„ but I did manage to get the dishes done, a load of laundry and I somehow after that found the motivation to clear out one of the many doom piles in my living room. Just took me forever to get going. Made up for yesterday uselessness I guess.

For food decisions I tell my husband to assign a number to the choices and I just randomly pick a number. I also will use my d&d dice to make choices. Reduces my choice meltdowns considerably. 😊

I love the idea of using DnD dice! Turns it into a game, instantly makes me more interested. Also, you cleared out a doom pileβ€½ That's amazing! I'd say that's a productive day, especially considering you also did the laundry.

Now you gave me the idea of gamefying my cleaning tomorrow, assigning little areas/chores that need to be cleaned to numbers and then using my d20 to choose. I'm honestly kind of excited, lol.
