I am looking for a new optometrist and would love recommendations. Hard pass on Cascade or Eye MDs, though. Been there, moving on from that.

I have spent years trying different hobbies and never sticking with them, or even picking them back up, always joking that my hobby is collecting hobbies. And before being diagnosed with ADHD, I would go ALL OUT and buy everything necessary AND optional and a lot of it at the top end of my budget and then also because ADHD I would then immediately lose interest and never do that thing again... It was honestly not great and I wanted something that would stick, I was absolutely stuck to my phone non stop and miserable (because it takes time to recover from bad spending sprees 🫠).

Anyway, imagine my surprise when the hobby that finally sticks is cross stitching. And my joy. My mental health is so much better. And yeah, I'm on the phone right now but it's Friday and I'm toasty 🍠 🍃 and I don't cross stitch when I can't count hahaha.

ADHD is no joke, ya'll. Hug your ADHD people because "no one" understands how difficult it actually is to deal with this.

Also I got on here to post how excited I was about my new q-snap frames. I am stoked to finally be able to have more than one project going at a time. *Squeals in variety is the spice of ADHD life*

Would love to be pointed towards open, public craft groups in semi chill spaces. I've seen some that were hosted at bars, but I'm autistic and that is a sensory nightmare (unless I'm high or drunk and neither of those things go well with cross stitch haha).
