Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 898 , Monday 13/04/2026

Monday started far earlier than I had hoped so I was up and having breakfast by 07:15.

Did my chores after breakfast then at around 10am I decided that a walk to the local leisure centre where my new gym is would be a good ideal.

It was a lovely sunny day & while the temp was nothing to write home about it was warm in the sun!

I was foolish & decided to do the entire walk … fine on the way out but even with a 15 minute break for a sarnie (egg n mayo) & an OJ … gotta hydrate people!

It turns out that it was around 8.6km (5.4 miles) all told & I was dead on my feet at 6km.
But one has to get home & so I literally stumbled home - pace out was 11.4 mins / km pace back was over 15!

Some of our hills in deepest, darkest Yorkshire are right humdingers & I copped for a good few today!

I got home just before 1pm & managed to change into my ordinary attire before collapsing on my comfy chair.

I got back on the PS5 this afternoon, & checked out the latest reviews for Starfield on the PlayStation … good job too, seems it is riddled with bugs & folks are only get a few minutes play before it crashes. I shall, therefore, wait until later in the year, No doubt Bethesda will patch it & reduce the price right down to encourage uptake - so that is when I will revisit it.
Meanwhile I still have a Space itch to scratch - played far too much NMS so have dug out my copy of Elite:Dangerous Horizons. I had archived it when the devs decided that there would be no further updates, but as others have pointed out it is still eminently playable. I had forgotten how complicated the controls were though!

Final Thoughts.

My legs are killing me, hopefully a good nights sleep will see me right!

I am pleased I fought past the door demons (even if I did forget to shave & looked like Forest Gump after his marathon run! ) & got out for a walk - they do say ‘no pain, no gain!’ I totally had the pain & seemed to have gained more pain so that adage seems to hold true!

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! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

Our village gym is just over half an mile away. I am ashamed to say that we always drive on the grounds that there is no point getting there too worn out for gym 🙄

@HeatherMJ @autistics Morning Heather 🤗🥰

My cunning plan is to get healthy enuf to walk there, doa session & walk back. This is a VERY long term plan, in the meantime the odd tootle over there to their rather nice cafe may well happen on days when I haven’t got the car or an actual swimming / gym session.

The fact that you regularly get to the gym is more than I’ve done in the past & it’s gonna be a while before I can do anything else but drive to a session.

Hope you have a fabulous day Lovely! 😊🫶 🐿️🖖

@Tim_McTuffty @autistics
The only thing I can say in my defense is that we do walk if we're going to the cafe, which is in the same place. Hot and bothered and needing a sit down is not a good way to start gym 😕 Have a good day
@HeatherMJ @autistics Hey I’m not judging - I essentially walked to the leisure centre to try out their cafe.
