Been wondering this for when the time eventually comes...

I quit when I got pregnant (the day the test came back positive) and started the day after I quit nursing. All in all 3 years off. The first trimester I was sick, so I just ended up having a new level of normal. I was a SAHM until my youngest was 2. (Did part time contract work). I think my hormones really effected my ADHD. It was just different. Of course my marriage sucked during that time. I attribute it to the stress of small kids, but it could have been ADHD. If I had to do it over again, the only thing I would have changed is insisting on having more help. Weekly housekeeper, mother’s helper, etc. I didn’t need help with my baby, I needed help being a housekeeper to my overly demanding (now ex) husband.

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
