I definitely have ended up on ADHD tiktok and wonder if it’s me or if it’s everyone. But I hear the RSD and feel like I’ve attributed it to depression in the past.

I have made the astounding discovery that kale tastes much better if you fry it in bacon grease for a couple of minutes. Who could have guessed?

There's a woman who's done some very clever song parodies; here's My Mask Will Go On.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S had his first dentist visit today.(Also his first cavity, alas)

Sonic technician is here! It looks like the fiber installation is going to take a couple of hours.

Also delicious when you cook it in the same pan with Salmon (and garlic and lemon).

On her second day of work, Matilda just called me and asked to hang out after work with her new co-worker, Savannah! Wooot! Here's to new friends!

Thrive to spite them

shrift, I get what you are saying about the ADHD questionnaires because I was like that with the stuff for autism. I used to do certain things but I trained myself not to.. or sometimes I do that but only when I can't stop myself..

but having a lot of coping mechanisms means you have something to cope with .

I was really into tiktok and then ended up getting away from it. I didn't want to but it's just too much sound/visuals for me to deal with. Especially when I'm already trying to combat all the noise in the house. There are some really great people on tiktok

YAY for Matilda's new job and for new friends.

brenda your dad is adorable.

Yay, new friends!

My excitement for the day was adding a House Finch to my life list. It's the little things. And not falling asleep at 6p for three hours like I did yesterday.

Our wings are not tired.

Good for Matilda. I hope this is a great summer for her.

I have never tried TikToc, and so far have not been tempted. Hours in the day and all that.

New friends! What a concept. I admit that the lockdown wasn't as painful for me as for others, since I stayed in my sister's pod and saw a fair amount of my nieces outside. The hard part is being social with people outside my immediate family unit!

I was lucky enough to have enough to cover the fee: thanks, Dad, for investing so aggressively in the last years of your life! J is recovering well, although she's going to get cranky about not being allowed on the couch.

Today I discovered heartburn. Boo, do not like!
