Stumped after several pattern repeats working a Doodad by Hooked on Sunshine

Doodad pattern from Hooked on Sunshine. This is my 3rd time through rows 16-30. Everything has fit together just fine on previous rounds.

I have the correct number of 3dc clusters (in white). When I did the hdc's (in beige), the row was rippling like there were too many stitches. So I made 2 hdc's in the ch2 spaces but skipped every 3rd hdc. Now my shells only have 5 dc's instead of the 7 they're supposed to have. Still rippling like theres too many stitches.

Help, please. Its not fun anymore and I was really enjoying working on this

Life-altering fatigue vs. Managing meds

I'm struggling with really debilitating fatigue these days. I know if I really push myself too much consistently, I'll end up unable to get out of bed for a week, hospitalized, or relapsing. Gotta rest. Gotta pace myself.

The doc gave me Ritalin (methylphenidate). 5/10mg, twice a day. Its fantastic! I can really get a chunk of my life back. But if I'm taking it twice a day and being busy because of the drugs, isn't that the same as pushing myself too hard and risking consequences?

How are y'all managing a balance? The increased anxiety from the stimulants?

Is any body using THC with a prescription stimulant? Dr. Google says we shouldn't use those 2 drugs together. Anyone want to share results using that combo, good or bad?

I decided to treat myself and get a really nice iron. Bought the Oliso with the little lift feet. Its pink and I love it. It died a few days ago, no lights no heat. Its maybe 2 months past warranty and Oliso has offered me a 20% discount on a new one. After some web searching, I found a lot of people with dead 3yo Oliso irons. I love the lift and that it's pink, but I don't want to pay $200 to "rent" another one for 3 years until it dies. Any recommendations for a pretty iron with more longevity? What are you using?
