life
I seem to have identified a bug in my systems.
No matter how much time (in hours not minutes) I give myself to wrap my head around prepping & even starting to prep for eventually going to be at or if possible before midnight, I somehow still end up not getting to bed till 02:00 give or take half an hour.
I can feel completely zonked all day or all evening due to short nights of sleep if I have to get up early. It makes no sense. I think I need to start using a metaphorical hammer & somehow persuade myself that the world won't end if I do that thing tomorrow or those things the day after.
It does seem to be because there's that one thing, out of many that's been hanging over me for days, weeks, months or longer & today was going to be the day. So it may be late but this maybe the only time I have a set of spoons the right shape or strong enough to deal with this task. It's now or never.
It can be a small complex task, revamping bullet journal templates in my more app, sorting out all the stages for a future batch cook or a long laborious one involving things I'm not keen on like clearing up cobwebs & bugs 😱 or unidentified spills, dirt & giant dust bunnies 🤢.
I've tried reminders, alarms. I've planned days where everything has all the time I need & more but inevitably this either leads to stagnation because I'm so out of spoons not helped by the side effects of lack of sleep. Alternatively, the ADHD trait of getting sidetracked comes along & nixes my timings & tasks.
I've tried getting up earlier which, unless I have an early enough appointment or planned activity with or for other people generally fail to launch on time or if I survived the important thing in the early hours, I'm then a zombie & spend more time just sitting, gathering dice / spoons by not doing anything.
I keep telling myself I'll figure it out & find a way but I'm not sure I'm wired to ever find a fix for getting myself to bed before midnight.

I’ve been logging everything I do in a personal CHANGELOG.md in @obsidian since January, and I absolutely love it.
Every day I add something to the list, and it makes me feel like I'm achieving something. This is an important part of recovering from feelings of inadequacy and workaholic tendencies.

Children bubble.
There is a vivacity about their being that brings a spring to their step, a bounce to their hop, an ebullience and sparkle to pretty much every movement they make.
They play with joy, discover with wonder, live with innocence and rapture.
How much we adults can learn from them!

#life likes to remind you of a lot of things.
Sometimes nice things like good people still exist, and luck can be on your side.
Sometimes bad things like your body hates you, and gas station food is ill-advised.
Other times it reminds you of existential stuff, like how close you are to just randomly dying at any given time:

INSTANT VICTORY 
Great news! ‘The urban life of workers in post-Soviet Russia’ will be released in paperback in January 2026 🎉 This means that the book will soon be available at a more affordable price and I’m glad it will reach more readers. In the new blogpost, I respond to some of the critical reflections from reviewers.

We’re convinced we animate our bodies.
That we’re the brains running things (aliens merely using our bodies to get around, a favourite columnist once said).
Then we learn our bodies animate us.
The extent to which we depend upon and are made by them.
It’s a hard lesson—
Be kind to yourself.
Eat well.
Enjoy life.
Do your best without self-punishment or negative self-talk; embrace forgiveness—of yourself & others.
And know even then, good as you be, it can end any time.
Sometimes in life you have to stop when you least expect it.
Sometimes all you can do is... wait.
A 179 Euro purchase in 2010 seemed like a splurge. 16 years later, that appliance has survived moves, earthquakes, and snowstorms, becoming a silent witness to my life's changes.

Anything new happen for silent Sunday I’ve been cleaning and doing chores most of the day almost done.
Does everyone else have an unusually rough time getting all they expect to get done in a day ?
😮💨.
I mean I’m grateful to get done what I do but geesh. Humans and cats are messy. Almost males me think of getting my own place and I would have so much more time in the day. Maybe Even enough time to her a 9-5 job working at the gas station

Was going to keep today a Do Stuff day so I could zombie my way through that (recovering from being up several hours earlier than I'm used to & having to people & adult most of yesterday) so I can actually enjoy my duvet day tomorrow.
Enter fly in the ointment.
Tomorrow is more going out & peopling 😱. Then next weekend Saturday is more peopling & being social at friends' (shared) birthday.
Problem with this picture, Saturdays & Mondays are usually duvet days.
One positive is, I've already tackled today's adulting, phoning my Mam so hopefully she won't phone me later today 🤞.
Can I book my 12 month cryostasis treatment now!?
No, I'm not asking for a friend.

The Scent of Denial
An anonymous white bottle in a 2001 photo brings back the sharp smell of adolescence - of treatments, hidden shame, and the night I looked in the mirror and finally saw what everyone else already had.https://my-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/21/the-scent-of-denial/
#MyNotes #Life #Reflections #Blogging #Memories
Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?
No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said you're a good candidate for autism that you got years ago. The waiting list is impossibly long so by the time you:
1) Pluck up the dice / spoons to face the GP (I'm still working on it 😣)...
2) Get an appointment & (by a miracle) maybe still have the dice / spoons...
3) Actually persuade the GP an AuDHD diagnosis is what you need...
4) Jump through whatever hoops to get the preliminaries sorted...
5) Get the green light for getting a diagnosis...
... You'll be waiting so long, you won't need it anymore as you're too old to work & are on minimum pension.
My messed up bodyclock doesn't help either.
Oh, it's you Depression... 😫... Just what I need 😡😩.
I hate it when I give myself reality checks 😔.
