Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 989 , Monday 13/07/2026
Up at crack of sparrows fart for the gym this morning, despite yesterday’s looooonnnnnnggggg day!
Yesterday started out at around 07:30 & after breakfast I cracked on with fitting the shelf over the window (which is actually comprised of 2 shelves that used to be in Mrs S’s study before the epic decorating episode.) sadly the wall is not plum or square or even flat so it
Was not as easy as it should have been.
Then came the fun bit - fitting the ‘easy fit’ roman blind from Dunelm Mills. The major problem ultimately being that it didn’t hang evenly because one of the cords was tied to the wrong length - I got VERY frustrated with it & I regret to report that I had a total meltdown over it.
Anyways that was all fitted by teatime.
After a quick break for something to eat I then had to put my room back together … why does tidying up ALWAYS take at least twice as long as the original job!
By the time I had done all that, installed the new dual monitor arms & the new bluetooth shelf speakers I treated myself to the other week it was gone 10pm. So by the time I came to write the diary I was exhausted, brain dead & still not a little peeved with the blind nd the world in general.
The blind does look the business though, it’s a proper blackout blind & for the first time since moving into that room as my bedroom I slept thru a summers dawn!
Sadly I didn’t get too much sleep as my body hated me for all the abuse I had given it!
Today has been another busy day. Once I got back from the gym & had had my breakfast we went over to my late MiL’s to clear out the 2 sheds in the garden. This was very messy as the roof had leaked & the mice had moved in. We did find a couple of things that were worth keeping but not much.
We also met with a rep from the ‘Clean and Clear’ company that has been hired to spruce the place up. The meeting went well & we await dates & a formal quote in the coming days.
Stopped off for lunch (gammon, egg n chips for me) on the way home then a very alzy afternoon watching ‘The Aviator’ from a few years back, & interesting film but one that I would probably not watch again - for one thing at nearly 3 hours long it did drag on a bit!
A light salad for tea with strawberries & ice cream for dessert.
Final Thoughts.
Yesterday left me frazzled & between my efforts then & todays work my spine is in open revolt! But on the other hand I do feel like I have achieved a lot & will go to bed a lot happier than I did last night!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
