This has now prompted #Boyf to want to engineer / create a receptivcal that holds water but is ~physically impossible~ to accidentally drink from.

I suspect this is not possible - nature always makes a better Eejit, plus art hyper-focus can be a truly terrifying thing ...

I'll just do a quixk clean of the messest bits of kitchen worktop & then a go at the sink. It'll only take 20 minutes 😃 & then I can have lunch 😎 ...

1 hour later: That's the entire worktop cleaned & disinfected. What be the time my good microwave?... 🤯.
The sink'll just have to wait as I'm knackered, thirsty & hungry 🥵 & a bit too toasty.

Feels good to have done it properly though 😀.

Today my brain went something like: Ghhaaaaaarrggggghhhhh! ... 💡!
I think a penny got stuck a long while back & finally worked itself loose & dropped.

I started looking into & bullet journalling several years ago after my brief encounter with mental health services & the woman running the 6 session group therapy suggested it.

Thanks to Pinterest I quick fell in love with the idea, though possibly for the wrong reasons as I have never been able to wrap my head round trying to recreate or at least achieve something that functions how I want & somehow with zero extra time & effort achieving such decorative masterpieces.

The first 2 - 3 years it sort of worked but the effort of hand drawing every page & the time it consumed seemed to be eating at me & in the last 2 - 3 years it began to percolate through to me that it might be part of why I lack the spoons, time & energy to do anything.

In the last few years I kept falling behind & would spend the early months of the new year finishing my entries for last year transferring them from note app to physical bullet journal.

This year, I got last year's up to date but this year's feels like a non-starter. January & February are drawn up & ready to fill in but I'm just not feeling it.

I guess today is the day I say, nope to adding something potentially useful but ultimately getting in the way of trying to improve my life.
So, no more bullet journalling this year, though I might, when the mood takes me & I can actually spare the spoons look at what things I'd actually find useful to track & maybe track them separately in the future unless I find the ideal solution to my bullet journalling woes.

Today's song playing on repeat in my headphones for the past 5+ hours while I sit and work: Fading by Swimming Paul

Also, it's time to get up from this chair before I pee myself 😅

My getting up has slipped into the afternoons & I'm not happy about it.
Especially as in a few days I'll have to be up before 07:00 to be able to spend the day on an outing with friends. 🫣

Stricter morning routine?
- Alarm goes, switch on radio or preselected podcast instead of noticing the Mastodon notifications so I don't vanish down a 40+ notification hole?
🤔 … 🤔 In theory very easy to do, in practice very difficult to stick to, as my AuDHD screams for comfort from not being ready to face the day.

- Swap chores around with things I enjoy, want to get stuck into?
My big worry is that once I start the thing I want to do I will ignore all cues for stopping & doing the 'must do' tasks.

One possible fix for ignoring cues, is have lunch be the cut off point as I, like a lot of critters can be greatly motivated by food.
Current problem, lunch is around 18:00 give or take an hour & as I'm painfully aware of it being evening my brain & body default to evening mode, time to read or ideally, relax so those 'must do' tasks have pretty much a zero chance of happening.

I guess, I might be spending some time working this one out this afternoon / evening. I don't mind spending my evenings messing with dilemmas like this, as long as I can shove a movie I enjoy on whilst I'm doing it 🙂.
… That's if I remember 😅.

Losing interest

https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/01/28/losing-interest/

Current status: It's the middle of the night and I'm contemplating the existential nature of the last pickled onion in the jar. This was not on the schedule. Send help. And maybe more onions. #UpLate #ADHD #Hyperfocus

Impulsive-hyper ADHD overdrive ☢️

A lot has happened in the last 2½ months, give or take a few days. Several surgeries, big painful trauma, a great loss causing huge grief… Dealing with all this, and trying to recover of it all, has been taking a lot of me. When you’re already dealing with a chronic illness, you have less spoons to deal with. And then, at some point, you’ve used all available spoons. You’ve used all the spoons that you tried to borrow from days in your future (if that makes sense). You are sad, close to depression, and tying to find a way to prevent that from happening.

My ADHD knows that there is something that gives me “easy dopamine”, a quick rush, a feeling of accomplishment, a short moment of happiness, of satisfying some long-craving needs… Unfortunately, it usually means that my bank account is suffering, and in the end, I am in trouble. I need to recognize it, to realize it, to acknowledge it and then… Fight it. 💪🏻 And while I know I can do it, as I’ve done it before, I also know that during times like these, I am not always strong enough to overcome it fast enough. ⚡

Feeling wierdly inspired to make a schedule or roster. Problem is I know I'm either, A) going to try it & fail within minutes, hours, days or at some point in the second week or, B) will find myself unable to try it because I've forgotten there's things I need to do that don't fit or because I just don't have the dice/spoons/battery.

It is of course typical that I'm settling down to have supper & watch a film before making an attempt to get to bed before 00:30 instead of after 02:30 when.this urge has to strike. I would like to be able to enjoy my mornings without sleeping or dozing through them.
Fingers 🤞 the movie & my supper distract me enough to leave it till a more sensible time.

Now available on YouTube, an #OnlineAutscape2025 “More Autistic Joy” presentation:

On the 7th of February at 20:00 GMT/UTC, Jorik Mol, “professionally autistic”, presented “Now I wanna think about all the good times – The joys of Breaking the Boundaries”.

Watch now at: https://youtu.be/88-EGSq_dmg

Slides with clickable read-along links: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qEl3c4O8bVsB-oJ9lhLi-PCbRkV6Fbq6zZtx29cCOjk/edit#slide=id.g32b2dc19ab3_0_274

“Jorik's first book of 2025 is Breaking the Boundaries, describing his experiences as a lived experience mentor of autistic higher education students. These stories highlight the particular joys of being neuroqueer and finding one's community, gender joy, the joy of art, the joy of hyperfocus and the joy of fighting the good fight.”

I spent a few happy hours getting partway into the info-collation for a blog post. Shaking off the notion of it being weird, silly, etc to be listing ages of an actor and each of his characters as if many people care when I realised how nice it was to have something to focus on. Lately my desire for the house-clearance marathon has stalled, as has art, gaming, you name it. The #AuDHD #brain has its wants and needs.

When you are told not to lift things from the floor, lift things, squat, or get on the floor after hysterectomy...maybe don't get hyperfocused on helping your partner put wires into the wall for new modem and forget that advice and end up ripping a stitch...

I am not bleeding badly, but am bleeding.
And feeling really stupid for becoming so blind to the warnings my body was giving.

Puttered in plants yesterday. By which I mean I *thought* I was puttering:

•getting basil and spearmint in the ground
•sticking date and redbud seeds in a starter tray, and
•watering all the things.

Yeah, I was not puttering. I was outright gardening for nearly 3 hours because #ADHD #hyperfocus 🙄

Post- #RecentCovid body is letting me know very clearly today that I overdid it. I'm generally tired, & left inguinal ligament is HIGHLY irritated.

*SIGH*

I really should not be left #unattended.

One thing I enjoy but also hate about my ADHD is the ability to hyperfocus. It's great when it kicks in and I complete a project, but now I'm dealing with a headache from a 3-day eye strain and shrimp posture. But I got it done! Time for some rest.

The project? Christmas ornaments.

Hey everyone! My new blog post has dropped.

Oddly enough, its creation resulted from my not taking the advice I gave, so it's a case of learning from my mistakes.

@ssaxena_03 Thank you for sharing! I know myself -- non-hyperactive ADD prone to hyperfocus -- and already use social media too much on my laptop. Had I ever installed it on my phone I would have starved and/or walked straight into a moving truck.

#knowthyself #hyperfocus #ADD #ADHD

It really bugs me when #ADHD is called a #neurodevelopmental #disorder [1], as disorder has negative connotations and suggests folks with ADHD are the problem. We have evidence that ADHD has been #evolution -arily beneficial to #human survival [2]. Hence, #society is #dysfunctional and allows one group to dominate #culture and discourse, glorifying an aberration of normality. #hyperfocus is too cool to be labelled anything but fantastic.

Long time no see! I had a long #hyperfocus working on something special, and was feeling incredibly unsocial.

More info in another post, hopefully soon :)
Can you tell what's on the picture? ;)
All the best ❤️
