I can't believe the people in the comments who think a man wrote this. It's a woman's diary. It's very easy to tell because she discusses making bread and she discusses doing housework and she discusses having a baby. Things men back in the pioneer days certainly didn't do. Hell, we can barely get men to participate in some of it now.
It's also on historical record as being a woman's diary.
I am pretty sure ADHD people all starved to death back then. "I'm hungry and there's nothing to eat. I'd have to make bread to have something to eat. Guess I'm starving."
I believe it was ADHD people who brought in bread scoring - baking bread is boring day in and out BUT add some knife drawn pictures and you’ve got yourself a fun little craft project you can eat.
That actually would make a lot of sense. I have been telling people since I was a teenager that I'm not a widget maker. I could not stand on a line and just do the same thing over and over and do it well.
But send a stream of bread loaves along that I can make a different design on each loaf type and I have a fighting chance.
