At least it’s (relatively) cheap (compared to ongoing bass playing. There is no piece of equipment I would count as “cheap” with bass but I can get a new wax seal stamp for £2 to £5. WIN.)

Oh and also THE MOON, but that’s an ongoing obsession. Also the movie Wicked.

ADHDer here-2025’s first new fave craft hobby is: making wax seals for envelopes with different stamps and different colours of wax. Why, one might ask me? IT DOESN’T MATTER WHY! Wax is life.

If you struggle with breaking tasks down into manageable chunks ChatGPT/other AI will do it for you in seconds. It can do this for ANYTHING. Top tip: in your prompt be really specific about what you want eg if this is aimed at neurodivergence, if you want a min/max steps, need plain English etc.

I have bought *five* pairs of these so far and only two were duplicates because I lost them #ADHDTax
Current faves-switch2 in green.

The problem with my pattern spotting #ADHD is I’ve clocked subtle changes in use of language, orientation toward me, general pattern of behaviour even if *they* aren’t conscious of it yet, I can spot the different treatment but I don’t know *why*-it would be easier to hear a harsh truth than wonder.

Helpful to acknowledge that unmasking can feel very vulnerable-like a hermit crab who didn’t find a bigger shell yet-and big inner changes can shift relationships too. That’s not to scare younger people-it’s a good reason to find your authentic self as early as possible; it can be harder later.

Also (at least in the uk) you can buy pretty good quality pre-made mash potato. Just microwave it and add extra butter and black pepper-done. If you can buy frozen peeled and chopped yams and you have an air fryer just shake and bake-minimum executive function required.

Discovered it recently (I know-behind the crowd!) and it’s so good! Just love the dialogue. Still got plenty to go as I’m not even halfway through season two!!

Yup - my foolproof plan to win the Euromillions rollover has also - inexplicably - failed.
