Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 882 , Saturday 28/03/2026

Saturday started around the usual time, around 07:15.

Breakfast was followed by a prolonged search for a new pint glass for Mrs S as I dropped her favourite one while I was washing up. We have a ceramic sink & while it looks great it is a bugger for killing anything that will break on impact with a hard surface!

It too me ages to find something suitable, in the end I got a LotR one off Etsy. Hopefully Mrs S will like it!

Then I had to clean the upstairs floors, always a fun job!

It was a day for deliveries this afternoon, first the cleaning kit I ordered for Mrs S’s iphone rocked up. It has lots of useful mini tools for getting into the charging ports & such. I gave the phone a good once over & it seems to work ok now.

The kit also came with some dust plugs for the lightening port, made out of aluminium of all things! I wanted to make sure that if the dust plug was removed it wouldn’t get lost so I got out my Dremel™ & drilled a tiny hole thru which to thread a length of fishing line. Or at least that was the plan - what I had not planned for was finding a whole new way to damage myself! I managed to drill right thru the plug & up into the base of the nail on my left hand 1st finger! 🙄🤦‍♂️ This of course bled profusely & required the application of a plaster.

My new set of screwdrivers rocked up later in the afternoon - the first full set I have ever bought, Dewalt ‘maxfit’ demolition ones. They look the biz, time will tell if they are any good. I also got a Bosch Go 3 driver, which is pretty awesome.
This all resulted in an afternoon spent happily rearranging various tool boxes & retiring the mixed bag of screwdrivers I have accumulated over the years - they have gone in my ‘backup’ tool box which is always a joy to pull out as I normally forget exactly what is in it, so there are numerous “oh I never knew I had one of those” moments.

We had a Chinese takeaway for tea & watched ‘Love & Monsters’ on Netflix - a surprisingly good & funny post apocalyptic movie about one wimp & his dog on a journey to find lost love!

Final Thoughts.

Not a bad day, despite drilling a hole in my finger &

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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@Tim_McTuffty sounds like a normal day and projects of small and big things can have different results sometimes ...
Tools are hard to judge when buying online some companies sure have changed from being very good to terrible ...bought a power screwdriver and there really was no power to be found capable of doing a small job..yes you Black & Decker .. overpriced and incapable these days ...
