It just delights me so that Megan heard the Clafoutis call so quickly!

Oh, word. Sophia, I would be hosed without auto bill pay and me putting absolutely everything into Google Calendar/Keep/Tasks/Spreadsheets with reminders that constantly prompt me to do things.

This is my life. I have Google reminders for the most tiny elements of life. It is a beautiful thing.

Reporting back on Sonic installation so far: installation did take about two hours, router setup was easy, and all of my devices except one immediately connected to wifi. The remaining device that won't connect is my Windows 10 PC, and if my suspicions are correct, a new wifi adapter will solve the problem. We'll see once the adapter arrives.

I loved having Sonic, but it became untenable given that they are never going to put fiber downtown and the fastest download speed I could get was 9 Mbps (which worked for me pre-pandemic, but, between having the Math Greek here for the duration and not being able to download work files at the Mechanics Institute, I'm glad I switched to Comcast when I did).

For sure, my life is half-run by Alexa reminders and timers and Google calendar notices. I always wonder when a list of ADHD symptoms go by, because I identify with a lot of them. But then there are some I absolutely don't identify with, so I end up with Sophia and wondering if "neurotypical" even means anything (aside from any actual medical usage).

I figure I’m already on Wellbutrin which is one of the non stimulant meds they give for ADHD…and I do feel like it helped some in the “actually do those dishes AND finish all of them don’t stop because most of them are done” though obvi not 100% given the dishes currently in my sink…

The thing I have never understood about cherry cladouti—how do the pits not get annoying??

Most people (heathens) pit the cherries.

ETA: Personally, I'd rather deal with the pits when eating then pit the cherries.

I kind of didn't believe my diagnosis until the meds clearly made such a dramatic improvement. Same with depression - I was always thinking "well, those all sound like me except I don't feel sad" when what I mostly felt was numb, so. I have been off all my meds for a while now for economic reasons which is kind of dumb, probably, but also something I can control so, IDK, but it's definitely easier to drop my coping mechanisms and that's not good.

...right, I have been on Wellbutrin for almost 10 years. Huh.

More org changes at my company. The Sales department is changing their structure and my department's still ongoing structure change was designed to reflect their structure so 'm not sure what that means for us. And our new VP of People comes to us from Amazon which makes me nervous.

They sent out the email about these change last night &:45 and I missed it in catching up on my email this morning so I learned about it when my VP said "we all got the email..." in our weekly Zoom. Oops.

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

I am in this sentence and I don't like it.
