Also non-cartel coyotes rest during the day. I lived in Nevada where coyotes are a given, but never in my life saw one during the day.
Holy shit. I had to turn it off. WTF.
Suddenly deciding to...
organize my supplies: pull everything out sort, play with stuff, go to store for organizing bins and maybe order new craft supplies, label, get tired, and leave almost everything in piles for weeks. Oh, and feel guilty every single time I walk by the piles, but be completely unable to do anything about them.
or reheating coffee in the microwave four times because I keep forgetting it's in there and it's gone cold again
Yeah, I know it's gross. But that's me, the gross coffee drinker.
Say where it is out loud! That's my stove trick--"THE STOVE IS OFF". Yes, I have walked away from a lit burner before.
Por que no los dos?
Why go to the front door when the good stuff is in the trash can out back?
All the ADHDers in here. :(
Same. Same.
Hormonal fluctuations have been shown to affect symptoms. You* can talk to your doctor about a small bump up in meds for when you are most affected. I can't remember if it's just before a period or during that symptoms get worse. I recommend tracking your period and making notes of when it's worse for you. Menopause is crazy for many reasons, but defo for ADHD.
*Anyone who has a period.

“Look, stars! Ready when you are, Raoul.”
Title is from Who Framed Roger Rabbit as is the image in the meme. Meme reads, "You mean you could've done it at any time?!" ADHD replies, "Not at any time, only when it was INTERESTING or URGENT."
Mission Impossible theme begins to play
Meme reads, "ADHD in normal circumstances: 'I have no idea what's happening and I am grossly underprepared for everything and falling apart, pls send help' ADHD in times of CRISIS: (smiling emoji wearing sunglasses) I have been training for this moment my entire life. Stand back, weaklings, I've got this covered."
Sunday memes
Meme in the style of 80s school portrait having a main image and a second more dreamy and transparent image of the same subject, which in this case is a raccoon with closed eyes. Upper text reads: Today I will not overthink. Lower text reads: I simply will not think at all.

and it has Christoph Waltz
So far so welcoming/supportive. 👍
I got along just fine until college when I dropped out after the first year since I couldn’t coast by with great test skills and doing basic homework for high school…
Oh hell yeah. Honors student to failing out of my first year of college. Fuck. I went back years later, but that first time was a helluva wake up call.
noticed the same day
was able to persist at a non-fun task for an hour, like lolwut
...and that'll be in my head for the next several hours. Perfection.
How to remember to bring something with you
If you have to go somewhere, and need to have something with you,
don't put it by the door.
put it in the car instead.
I have walked past my take-with-you pile so many times. I've even stepped over it. Obviously this is if you are driving to your destination and the item isn't perishable.
When you arrive at your destination, it is so much better to say, "Be right back, I left it in the car." vs. "Ugh, I forgot it at home."
*Grammar edit: This tip would work well for a book, not "...isn't perishable, like a book".
Getchell library - more in post
Getchell Library at the University of Nevada Reno doesn't exist anymore. It was torn down and a new library built. While it was open you could visit one of the many levels of stacks and there were times when you would be completely alone on a level. I'd been there more than once when it was dark outside and there was a snowstorm blowing. The visual brightness of the orange carpet and fluorescent lighting and quiet created by concrete walls ringing each level was other-worldly feeling. It was very much a liminal space.
