Paralysis of Analysis

I am feeling a bit of paralysis of analysis this morning. My ADHD has me bouncing in my head. There is so much that I need to, and I do not know where or how to start this morning. As with every other day in my life, I have bitten off more than I can chew.

There are documents that need to be obtained and updated. I just put in for an address change with the post office, but they cannot finalize it until you physically walk into a post office and show them your driver's license or id card. Speaking of id cards, we need to get the REAL ID, and as of May, if you do not have one, you will not be able to board a domestic flight in the United States without one.

My problem is that in order to get the REAL ID, your name on your birth certificate has to match your name on your current driver's license. Mine DOES NOT, because I was married (and divorced) but kept my ex husband's name because I wanted to have the same last name as my daughter. So in order to get around that, I have to get an official copy of my marriage license. I also have to obtain a copy of my divorce decree. In order to get either of those, I need to get my identification notarized with an official notarized document from them.

Don't even get me started on what I may have to do in order to vote once I change my name when I get married to my current fiancé.

I am just very frustrated. So frustrated.

I will get over it. I just took a little 45 minute nap, and will now tidy up the house and then meal prep some veggies in the fridge, and make blueberry muffins with blueberries we got last week.

Speaking of meal prep, last evening, I baked apples in brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg for about 2 hours (I have an electric range and stove that is DREADFULLY SLOW). I topped caramel ice cream with the apples and syrup last night as a treat and oh my goodness. I used the rest as a mix in for plain Greek yogurt for Rick's lunches. I used three large apples and it produced five servings. It is absolutely delicious.

The blueberry muffins I will be making today are vegan, as the recipe does not include eggs. I am so excited to try this.
