Okay, I still have the house, my husband, my kids, and my laptop - so I shouldn't complain, right?
It appears that my ADHD symptoms are back in full force. It's possible it's due to lack of sleep. When I try to go to bed early, ONE of the kids has a nightmare, sleepwalks, or gets sick - or all of the above.
Well, because of this problem - I've put my MP3 player through the wash (and killed it) and - yes - I dropped my new (only-had-it-for-less-than-60-days-new) camera while it was still recording - and yes - it doesn't work.
Actually, it fell. It was supposed to be attached to a baseplate very much like this one:
See the little nub behind the screw? The way my camera is, that nub isn't a good thing. I'm not sure what it is for, but it's not designed for a point-and-shoot camera. The camera doesn't attach securely if it's on that thing. So, I usually, put the camera parallel to it. I say usually, because on that fateful day, I didn't. Why? I don't know. I may have been microsleeping. I certainly wasn't thinking, because when I went to pull the baseplate out (yes, I was doing it while recording for "effect") the camera popped off and fell to it's doom.
It's also one of the cameras that Kodak DOESN'T repair.
I HATE being clumsy.
I finally lost it when today when I dumped my coffee in the van. Fortunately, it wasn't on my laptop, but I went inside - to get a new roll of paper towels to replace the ones we used up sopping up coffee, I told my husband, and I pretty much had a temper tantrum. First I berated myself for being clumsy, then telling God that I rather die then go back to the ADHD brain fog I had a few years back, then apologizing for my temper tantrum, then I finally gathered myself together, and got back into my usual logic mode.
I'm not much of a crier, so that tipped me off right there that something was out of balance. I've been slacking in taking my supplements (cod liver oil usually helps) and just a few days ago, I had one -well two... okay, three pieces of Mike's pumpkin pie (but not all at once). That was the most sugar I've had in "ages".
Just think, Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up.
Mike did mention getting a new camera to replace it, I think he saw that I was crying when I came out of the house, but Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up. While I plan on searching for sugarless, protein-type recipes to make for thanksgiving, I think I will wait to replace it until after January. By then, the brain-fog will more than likely be gone and I probably will be able to find a refurbished or used Kodak m381 for cheap.
I miss my camera already.
