What was I doing again? Gotta remember to take a few steps back when that happens. So context puts back the memory.
Just now the memory stayed in the kitchen but I need it in the dining room 😸

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 888 , Friday 03/04/2026
Oh Day 888 - I’m not at all sure why it is significant. 😆
Friday started stupidly early at around 06:00, I’m not sure what woke me but the noise of the kids next door meant that I gave up trying to sleep & read until Mrs S got up at 7am.
I made us breakfast then after we had watched an episode of ‘Father Brown’ I sorted my chores & then worked on the MacBook conversion to its dual boot config.
Sadly I got a bit enthusiastic in clearing up space & ended up having to reinstall MacOS … good thing there are a couple of backups if I ever need them.
Mrs S spent the morning at her mum eating away at the seemingly endless task of sorting thru 50 plus years of stuff. There was a bit of a find though, in the shape of a box of photos & documents tracing her immediate family back to 1883.
She spent this evening happily going thru them.
We continued our ‘For all Mankind’ fest this afternoon & this evening, & had pizza for tea.
Final Thoughts.
A cup of Cona coffee is becoming a nice afternoon tradition now, not the fastest way to make coffee but there is something pleasing about the process & the slightly magical way that the water passes up thru the coffee grinds & then the coffee pours back down after it has brewed.
Not a bad day all in all - I need to get fighting the door demos after Easter but I’m happy to leave it until then.
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

My type of #neurospicy...
Also fuck the Epstein Class politicians who started a #war to cover up for their pedo ring.
Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 887 , Thursday 02/04/2026
Thursday started relatively late at around 07:30 which was a nice change.
Mostly rested my back today but there were a few highlights to the day.
Finished fixing the cracked casing on my SteelSeries 9 headphones - hopefully the glue will hold & the fix will be permanent - it was a fiddly repair & I’m not at all sure that much glue was applied in the end.
I also put our new grinder to the test & although it is a cheap one it seems to do the trick - I may invest in a better model when we have the spondoolies to splash on such things. The resulting coffee made in the Cona was really nice!
I have also started the process of putting linux on my 2019 macbook pro, it’s t2 chip can cause complications but nothing a little research can’t get around I hope.
First steps are getting MacOs up to date & then clearing as much space as possible for the Linux image.
I have decided to go with a dual boot config using Ubuntu as this seems to be the least fraught path available.
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day at all, my back is still giving me grief though!

adhd havers out there: can you give me advice on how to better incorporate easier task switching into my life?
right now if i'm fixated on getting a thing done i'll keep working on it well beyond the point that i'm even happy about it anymore. this can also come at the cost of taking care of my body - eating and sleeping in particular. this probably contributed towards my burnout from work years ago

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 886 , Wednesday 01/04/2026
Wednesday started around the usual time, just after 7am.
The weather has been all over the place, it was nice & sunny first thing but fairly dull & grey for most of the rest of the day!
Breakfast was followed by the usual chores during which I noticed that the washing machine was leaking from the water inlet. This prompted an impromptu repair - I replaced the seal & that seems to have done the trick.
I also tidied up the box room as we were due to have the decorator come round & give us a price for papering & painting.
I also did a few other small jobs around the house.
After a busy but productive morning I had a relaxed afternoon with Mrs S catching up on a few of her shows.
I made our 2nd Cona coffee - this one was not quite as perfect as yesterday’s, it seems timing is important. Still a bloody good cup of coffee though!
With a perfect sense of timing the coffee grinder I ordered (just a cheap burr one) turned up just as I was washing up the Cona kit. Hey ho, will be able to try our usual Lavazza beans.
Ted, the decorator rocked up Around 7pm & he seems a nice chap who knows his stuff, so now we await a price.
Final Thoughts.
I good, productive day, but my back has decided to hate me again so another rest day tomorrow is in order I think.

Thank you to everyone who voted but gosh I gotta say I love Dr.Pepper.
Maybe I'll have a smaller cup of coffee in the morning AND a smaller serving of Dr.Pepper in the evening.
I promise I drink enough water and maybe have 1 cup of alcohol every 4 months. I think a part of it is my #neurospicy urge for consistency/routine being led into a dark alley by the caffeine.

A lot of allistics who socialize more easily are able to avoid situations which they find awkward or embarrassing.
They, too, have miscommunications, and are excluded, and have the whole gamut of negative social experiences, but they can usually minimize those encounters. And when they do avoid them, they’re avoiding a minority of their social experiences. 1/2
