Making the conscious choice to get the metro into work today because I'm wanting to walk more places
I am not enjoying the earlier time to get out of bed, but I'm hoping I'll prefer it over the morning traffic at rush hour.

I've nearly given myself heat stroke today but I've finally finished moving half a ton of top soil into the hole where the old pond was!
I thought gardening was an elderly hobby this garden is meant to be low maintenance and it still forces me to work out every time I go near it.

Getting home full of plans to do things around the house: immediately accosted by the cat who needs a warm lap to purr on for a bit ❤️

Today is a "human guards me while I eat" kind of day instead of "human needs to vanish from existence"

Nothing says "I am loved" more than the cat meowing at you to get out of the kitchen so she can have her lunch in peace.

Chaos on London transport when my excitement to see a friend in person overrides my ability to read signs properly #adventuresandADHD

Turns out turning an old pond into a flower patch is hard work. There are so many stones to dig out from the soil and weeds (with roots!) to remove. How is gardening seen as an older person's hobby?

Finally getting around to doing more spring tidy up for the garden. Taking a break and realised I've got lots of little ADHD piles of weeds lying about.

I'm realising I've got no idea what I'm going to do with myself when I'm finished with all the house redecorating that's taking up my weekends

About five minutes ago I shut Lulu in her room in preparation for my uncles coming over (she hates men and one has allergies). She's literally just wandered past me like some cat shaped Houdini.

The house is once again in chaos, at this point in starting to realise it's the sign of when I've got a week off.

New boots to work today! They're green suede and look fantastic and oh boy did I make a mistake with how comfortable they'd be to walk in

Now that it's spring, I'm feeling so much more motivated to go and do the things everyone else starts and gives up on in January. So it's pilates before walking to the station for work instead of using the car, and I've even brought my gym bag - just in case!

One of the harder things about having ADHD is how impossible it can feel to start something - even when I'm taking my medication. The smallest barrier can feel like a cliff face and no matter how well you plan in advance, guessing how long it'll take to complete feels like a crapshoot.

My cat Lulu has been imprisoned in her cat crate for 11 days now following intense surgery, and I can tell she's feeling much better because I can hear her chuntering on to herself from where she is in the living room, to upstairs in my office where I'm working from home.

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons."
"Very well, my liege," the knight said. "Um. May I ask why?"
"Because they hoard wealth without sharing, and people live in fear of their capricious moods."
"Very well, my liege," the knight said and drew his sword.

It's only 10 days into the year and I've already had the first crisis come and go!
8 days ago I found a lump on my cats belly. So we were off to the vets and right now she's sat next to me in a post surgery onesie while we wait for lab results from her operation yesterday.

Water is the binding magic of a world where you call it science.
Do you understand, to any extent, this chemical chained by supernova is the permission key in its quirk physics. If it sank when it froze? Nothing exists
I'm an agnostic. But water. Water is the strongest argument for God.

Gods I ache in places I never thought possible. Stripping paint off doors is hard and I'm not even done with the first one 🥲

If I ever decide to strip down a door again I need someone to remind me how much I hated doing it this time around.

I'd forgotten the thrill of signing up to a new social media platform.
I signed up to Facebook in 2007, Twitter in 2009, I created a Tumblr account in 2008. There's a sense of optimism and excitement that you lose once the disruption of a new space starts to settle.
