Panic, but I think I made it, but it made my head go loco.

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment
the hustle. the stress. the panic. the warnings. It made my head go loco.

But guess who managed to fix it? I DID!!!! I got a warning from my teacher that I was about to fail some classes, and this is the last week I have to do the last of the assignments. I have been sitting for several days for HOURS and just worked my butt off and sent them in. I now “only” have five left plus a presentation on Monday, and after that I am done for this first semester! 

So I am extremely happy and actually surprised, plus in shock of myself. One week and I have sent in… I don’t know how many assignments. Is that my ADHD working? Better under pressure? I have no idea, but I can honestly say—next semester and the last one, I do NOT want to do this again!

So because of this, my head is now all loco! Hopefully I can take a small break this weekend and get some rest for my head but if I know myself.. I won’t. 

This year my mental health has really declined so much, but I’m hopeful that next year will be a better year. I started with a new medicine a week ago for my ADHD (I requested it myself), and it has actually helped me get a bit more focus. Sure, I’m still tired, so I also got new sleeping pills that knock me completely out. So I haven’t taken them every day—two pills since last week. I will only take it when E is not home and I have nothing important the day after. Mama needs her sleep! That’s why I’m hopeful! Hopefully it will help me get better.

I have even started to do some makeup which has been superloooong time ago. Last Monday (15th) I had red eyelook and visited my last internship location before school. Let me tell you guys, the look on my kids / students. Oh my. They complimented me so much and that actually made me happy so I have been using makeup twice this week.

So I am a bit hopeful about 2026. I’m working hard to become myself. The bubbly, happy, laughing, goofy Emma.

Thank you everyone for reading. 🤍 As you know, my head is all messed up now, so I apologize that I haven’t answered any comments yet. I will when my head allows me. Even writing this post takes energy. Plus I have been at an education presentation today, and I actually fell asleep for a few seconds, so today is a tired day for me.

Do I need to?? Also, people are stealing—what’s going on?

After discovering someone has stolen the photos of me I have posted here, I feel the need to start marking them. Which I honestly don’t want, but here we are.

For the past few days I have been just resting. As much as possible. I am so tired now all the time—so tired that I have fallen asleep several times each day. 

On Monday I’m gonna try to get an appointment to take blood tests to check my iron level in my blood etc. I have low iron and had to take infusions before to raise the iron in my blood. I think it’s time to do that again.

Anyway, plans changed, meetings, education, school assignments, laundry, deep cleaning & a child having a meltdown. Well, several meltdowns.

Hello, my loves! I know I haven’t been blogging daily like I used to, but honestly, nothing special happens to me right now, and to try not to make the blog boring and make you tired of the updates, I’ll post every other day or something. I have googled to see what is a “good” amount of posts per week, and Google says once or twice per week. Isn’t that too little? I’m used to writing blog posts daily, sometimes several times a day, and seeing this suggestion makes me think. Is it better, or do you want me to keep posting like I do?

I honestly have no idea. Lol! Help? Ideas?

Wednesday: meeting at my child’s psychiatrist (I don’t know what it’s called or if this is the correct word) to start the investigations for my son for ADHD—investigation? Is that even correct? According to Google Translate, it is. Oh well. Fell asleep.

So many questions were asked, and so many answers were given. So much talk. It was step two. Step one was her meeting E at school. (Note that this psychiatrist was the one who gave E the diagnosis Autism level 3.) What the next step is, I have no idea. We’ll see what happens. Fell asleep .

Thursday; home from school (migraine)

Friday: S T R E S S with capital letters. First education, and I had to leave early due to a meeting. The stress was crazy. Going from one place to another, but I did it! I managed to get there in time. Fell asleep afterwards at home.

Saturday: Pretty ok day. Fallen asleep as usual. The tiredness is no joke, my dudes/dudettes. Laundry and just trying to relax before Monday and a new week.

Sunday: Don’t know yet other than I have laundry time and must do a deep cleaning of the home. Do some hocus pocus to see if it works—just going to try. For fun.

I will get back to you all about the Sunday later, but for now, I’m going to bed and sleep. Even though I have slept today, I am super tired right now. My eyes are becoming crossed and my eyelids heavy as… I don’t know. Just heavy. 

I have also sent my posts on Instagram (@thecaffeinatedraccoon) to archives to start over, so I’m going to try to update it as much as possible. I have also uploaded on my photography account on Instagram (@eej.foto), which I will also try to update as much as possible.

Goodnight my beautiful pumpkins 🎃 🧡🍂

IT’S FINALLY WEEKEND!

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Goodmorning everyone! I hope you all are doing good!

It is officially the weekend now! FINALLY! What’s your plans for the weekend?

I’m gonna study, go live on Tiktok (when E is sleeping. Never going live when he is up!) but mainly take care of my son who actually was burning hot yesterday and fell asleep at the kitchen table, so my husband and I managed to get him to bed and there he have been sleeping since 6pm til 7am. Today?? It’s like normal. Like nothing has happened with him. He is full off energy,  laughing etc. Normal temperature etc. I wonder what it was that got E to feel that bad. But I’m so glad that he is feeling better but 👀 I will watch him like a hawk 👀

I’m actually thinking of dyeing my hair tonight (if possible due to how my son is and how he sleeps – I don’t dye my hair when he is awake). I really want to go back to neonred hair but must keep it brown so my hair can rest. Luckily I don’t use hair dye with ammonia and all different kind of bad stuff in it and I love it!!

How are you today? 🥰
