Opened Emacs before opening Logseq this morning.

This is not a momentous shift or anything, just ADHD brain letting me know I need to incorporate org files into my meta note processing cycle.

(small sigh)

Getting all the big vaccine shots right before vacation because ugh people.

@IamMrsGeek woo hoo!

@brennx0r ambivalence applies as I am shocked but this is exactly what I would have expected.

Got ADHD meds for the first time in over a year.

Holy heck.

I might be able to finish – well uh – something. Don’t know what, but the fact that I might finish a task fills me with confusion.

@minego Right? I don’t always focus on what I’m supposed to, which combined with the difficulty getting meds seemed sufficient to not bother.

But gosh. To be able to persistently focus on any thing at all sounds like a step up again.

@minego my main tangible benefit, and the real reason I decided to try again, is it cuts down on mental background noise, the ten thousand “what if” and “what about” always clamoring for attention.

@bitprophet Friend of mine got shingles in his mid-30s, described it as several weeks of the greatest misery he’s ever experienced, and has spent the last 15 years harping on the rest of us to get shingles vaccination.

So I get to mark that off my task list at uh 52. But anyways you may want to think on it.

And we’re going to Vegas, which may not technically be out of country but there’s sure gonna be a lot of countries represented including that total slacker of a nation the US. So I got flu shot, COVID booster, and shingles vaccine final round.

@hummingrain what’s interesting to me about how I’m processing this:

Yeah I’m pleased to maybe finish tasks, but I’m genuinely excited about maybe finishing drawings! My sketching pace plummeted after I went off meds.

Been commented on before even specifically on Fedi and probably even by me, but

media image of person on ADHD meds: delusional, narcissistic, teeth grinding, bad hair, orange skin, possible fascist

actual ADHD person on ADHD meds: can breathe, pets cat.

Homework submitted, and next comes the panel interview where I have to justify myself.

@VE2UWY I’m not even going to pretend to know what all his issues are.

Giving the YouTube algorithm a (hopefully) teachable moment.

“Stop wasting time”

in #PlanetCrafter?

or anything for that matter

Nobody needs that kind of negativity in their gaming videos

@andrewfeeney @jk also a tongue twister

@n1vux @nabeards @cstross “Simplified” is just anguished screaming.

To show just how amazing ADHD meds are, today I folded the laundry that I washed yesterday.

I may even put it away before Monday!

@blogdiva oh holy hell I wish they’d read the labels on their recommendations.

@mwop @nicomen or self-hosted Fossil.

IFF you’re looking for a big shift from the Git+Hub model, that is. But remarkably robust for individual and small team projects.
