So, this has been a crazy week. The first official week of a teacher’s summer, and as you already know I spent three days in meetings. My sleep struggles continue, but honestly, it’s hard to tell what is me just being summer-time lazy thinking I can stay up late because I don’t have to be at work at the crack of dawn, versus what is the drug keeping me awake.
I am still on the 50mg dose of Vyvanse. I sat through our 12 o’clock meeting Wednesday and I think I did very well. One of my strategies is to be the official note-taker in the meetings. I type as much information as possible into OneNote and then the notes are automatically shared with the team. A lot of times I get distracted doing this, but today I was able to follow along, and instead of making stuff up when I got lost, I actually asked the people to repeat themselves. A step in the right direction? Admitting a fault… what have I gotten myself into?
Tomorrow will be interesting because I’m announcing a Seattle Sounders game. I used to do this at every game. Once in a while I would have trouble keeping the starting line ups straight. I would skip people, etc. I think I have strategies in place to remedy that, but this will be my first game on ADHD meds, so I hope to see an improvement over the last time I announced (two years ago).
