Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 905 , Monday 20/04/2026

TL:DR

Did another gym session today, was going to go early but after I had got breakfast & sorted out the urgent chores it ended up being closer to 9:30 rather than 7:30.
When I got there I was reminded that they do breakfast!
So maybe when I go again (possibly Wednesday) I might aim to get there for 7am & have breakfast there.

Might need to experiment with what level of weights are good for me, I think I pushed a little too hard today. Slow & steady wins the race / avoids the heart attack!

I need to get a handle on the workout app on my watch too.

There’s something going on with my right knee though, no real pain but a feeling of weakness when going up the stairs.

This morning’s mega coffee has had to be cancelled, I had a much smaller mug of tea with breakkie because the coffee has a … lets call it a loosening effect, on my digestive system. What with going to the dentist later there was no chance to catch up.
Still there is always afternoon coffee to look fwd to!

Spent the afternoon watching ‘A Quiet Place:Day One’ which was more like a computer game than a movie, but good enuf.
Then hit the PS5 & played Elite Dangerous for a while.

Chicken kievs for tea, with strawberries & ice cream for pudding! \
All very nice!

Final Thoughts.

Really impressed with myself today, although I suspect that I will need a quiet day tomorrow!

Pleased that I got to the gym again! I actually remembered to log my weight this morning, I need something to use as a yardstick!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 833 , Saturday 07/02/2026

Saturday started at around 07:30 after a disturbed night, mostly my own fault. I stayed up until nearly 1am gaming, I know that if I go to bed that late I don’t sleep. I also forgot to double check that the timer on the washing machine had been set right. It bangs the pipes when it opens & shuts the inlet valve so I have to make sure that it starts around 4am when I’m deeply asleep but also gives the cycle time to finish before 7am when the Economy 7 tariff flips over to the day rate.
Mrs S is …. overly cautious & is far enough away from the pipe work that it doesn’t disturb her sleep so she sets the cycle to start at around 2am. This also means that the wet washing is in the machine for 2 extra hours. It’s usually one of my mitigation routines to check the start time of the wash cycle but sometimes I forget. My bad.

Did my chores then had a couple of hours on the PS5.

Caught up on Mrs S’s shows this afternoon then watched Denzel Washington in ‘Safe House’ while we had a chinese takeaway for tea.

Final Thoughts.

I spend far too much time on ‘mitigation’ but it’s how I stay vaguely sane.

Sometimes it uses up all my available spoons.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 980 , Saturday 04/07/2026

Saturday started really quite late, the late nights & early mornings catching up with me & I managed to sleep thru to the alarm at 8am!

Breakfast & chores were followed by a morning exploring Altair II.

We caught up on a few of Mrs S’s shows this afternoon & then had a dose of Tom Hanks in ‘The News of the World’ a most satisfying feel good movie based in the ‘Wild West’.

A fried chicken style takeaway for tea!

Final Thoughts.

Not a bad day at all.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 835 , Monday 09/02/2026

Monday started Early, at around 06:30, partially because I went to bed a little earlier & partially because I’ve moved my bed slightly - only a couple of feet, just so its not right next to the window. Obviously my brain felt this was a couple of feet too many & treated it as ‘strange bed syndrome’ as if I had moved house or was sleeping elsewhere!

Did my chores & did a bit more wallpaper stripping in the box room - in theory I should be able to strip & redecorate in like 3 days but nowhere near enuf spoons for that, so I nibbled at at it a bit at a time.

Spent a chunk of time in medieval Bohemia too.

Ordered a new desk chair, Mrs S is treating me & I’ve see a right comfortable looking one in Costco™ in the sale!

Pizza burger for tea - yes another naughty takeaway. I really need to get my diet under control!

Finished season 2 of the Night Manager while we ate tea … well I never! (Can’t say more there maybe peeps who haven’t seen it yet! )

Final Thoughts.

I was a bit slow in ordering my chair, vacillating over wether to get it or not - thus while I did order it in time for the discount I did miss out on my trademark black finish.
That said the one I am getting is … Beige! So there’s some zen type karma type thing going off there!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 933 , Monday 18/05/2026

Up at crack of sparrows fart this morning, off to the gym bright & early!

Am improving slowly but surely although the weight is not coming off as fast as I had hoped - this is likely because my diet is still … a work in progress shall we call it!

Spent a chunk of the day zooming thru the Milky Way but I did take some stuff to the tip for Mrs S.

Final Thoughts.

I am in danger of actually enjoying going to the gym - take away the instruments of torture & all the people & it would be perfect! 😆

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 836 , Tuesday 10/02/2026

Tuesday has been a quiet day for the most part, chores were done & more wallpaper has vanished off the walls of the box room.

There may even have been some time spent in medieval Bohemia!

I do like KCD2, just entered the 2nd of 2 huge open world maps, so much to explore!

Final Thoughts.

Oh Nuggan’s holey nuts I wish this winter was over, it is wall to wall grey, or thats how it seems!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 837 , Wednesday 11/02/2026

Wednesday has been another manky winters day!

Chores were done, more wallpaper was stripped of its dignity & throw naked to the floor of the box room - I was up a set of short stepladders getting the bits my short-arsed frame won’t allow me to reach!

Then a romp around medieval Bohemia!

We watched a documentary about the 5 brave double agents who convinced Hitler that D-day was gonna hit Calais.
It’s sad to think that the far right are upturning their efforts & ensuring that their sacrifice was, ultimately, in vain!

Final Thoughts.

I’m quite pleased with the progress in the box room, there maybe sanders at dawn next week when I’m planning to tackle the woodwork!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 963 , Wednesday 17/06/2026

Wednesday started early after a very short night with not much sleep - after the evenings being so cold it was a shock to the system for it to be so warm!

Nothing much to report about today, pretty much the same old house elf lifestyle with a bit of gaming thrown in.

Final Thoughts.

It struck me today that even though I have been going to the gym for a few weeks now I don’t actually know the names of anyone there - except a couple of the staff. Not that I’m the shy retiring type!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 953 , Sunday 07/06/2026

Well against all expectations I got another lie in this morning - sleeping right thru until the alarm woke me at 08:30!

There was a thing at breakfast that cast a pall on the rest of the day, nothing serious but it dragged my mood down to ground level!

Otherwise it has been a fairly quiet day, had to take some photos of the car - someone had reversed into Mrs S in a car park yesterday & we have had to get the insurance involved. Mrs S can’t use their app so yours truly had to do it.

Played some NMS & Starfield before making a late lunch then after hauling Mrs S’s office chair into her ‘study’ we settled down to catch up on some of her TV shows.

Made a salad for tea, which went nicely with a quiche Mrs S had bought.

A couple of eps of season 3 of ‘The Diplomat’ finished the day nicely.

Final Thoughts.

I am struggling to read stuff at the moment - anything longer than a couple of sentences & it’s like the words become a cluster of letters. It’s not that I can’t read anymore, more like my brain just switches off when it sees more than it can cope with at the time.

Hopefully this is a temporary thing.

That said I can read my book of an evening, when I am relaxed & my brain has litt;e else to contend with so maybe it is an overwhelm thing?

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 838 , Thursday 12/02/2026

Thursday nearly started early at just after 6am but I rolled over for 5. More minutes & woke again at just gone 7am!

Rinse & repeat today, chores, bit more prep work in the box room & then a decent romp in medieval Bohemia.

I noticed that there is a new version of No Mans Sky released, but I’m far to entangled in KCD2 to care too much about it at the moment.

Final Thoughts.

We have a warning for yellow snow tonight & tomorrow, I’m hoping it doesn’t disrupt our plans for Saturday night!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 839 , Friday 13/02/2026

Friday started just after 7am, the snow promised overnight had not settled & we had a day of what is known as in meteorological circles as ‘wintery showers’ .

Chores were done & I did a little more in the box room, but not much as my Beige desk chair was due.

The delivery window was 08:00 to 12:00 so of course I had to wait until 11:50 for the delivery.

There was then a merry 30 minutes spent fighting with short bolt ‘F’ & ever so slightly longer bolt ‘J’ & getting them inserted into the right receptacles!

The chair however is comfy & sturdy, the arms do in fact have an upright position, so I can pretend I’m leaving an aircraft when I put them up to stow the chair under my desk of an evening to give me free access to my wardrobe!

I also ordered a new set of headphones for Mrs S by way of a somewhat extravagant Valentines gift (my new chair being her gift to me). I hasten to add that we normally content ourselves with a box of chocolates or some such & this year is very much a one off.

I had a Calzone for tea … I ordered a 10” one but got a 12” which is massive, the left overs are going to serve as lunch tomorrow!

Final Thoughts.

I read about the demonstration that is planned outside the RNLI’s HQ in Poole tomorrow by a bunch of neo-nazi fascists & instantly saw red!
How very dare they accuse a group of volunteers whose sole aim is to rescue folk in peril at sea of endangering communities & families in the UK!
The world gets madder, badder & sadder by the day!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 841 , Sunday 15/02/2026

Sunday started fairly early at around 07:30 in the very AM!

Had to get my chores done before we set off for a visit to my brother, his partner & my niece. Which was followed by a family meal to celebrate 4 family birthdays that happened in the last couple of weeks.

The weather was a mixture of dreary to awful. Yje high point being going across the moors this morning which were covered in a blanket of snow - very scenic it was too!

Had a great time chewing the fat at my brothers & then had a nice plate of gammon, eggs & chips (fries to our American contingent).

Went back to my sisters for coffee & birthday cake before heading home.

Got back fairly early as Mrs S was tried having sat in the car then sat in the restaurant then sat in relatives houses.

Final Thoughts.

I enjoyed the day although I know Mrs S would have preferred to stay at home reading / catching up on her TV shows. Hey ho.

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 840 , Saturday 14/02/2026

Saturday started initially around 6am with one of the kids next door sobbing his heart out for the longest time, but I managed to roll over & drop off again for another hour.

Had a fairly active morning (for me) driven by the bright sunlight that we were gifted with today.

I dismantled my old chair - it is still a decent one & so I’m gifting it to my niece who has just turned 15.
We are off to see them tomorrow so I thought I better get a head start on preparing it for transportation.

Also ran the vacuum cleaner over the upstairs carpets & the lounge!

Managed to squeeze in an hour of KCD2 into the bargain!

Had what was left of last night’s calzone for lunch - very nice!

We caught up on a couple of Mrs S’s shows this afternoon & then binged 3 eps of ‘The Final Frontier’ which is a really good show!

Final Thoughts.

Off to our fave eatery for a Valentine’s meal soo posting this with a timer so I wrote this around 18:30!

Monday started at around 07:30.

It’s been a day of chilling out & generally destressing after all the peopling yesterday.

I love my family to bits but I do find prolonged exposure requires lots of energy & these days I do give myself time to recover.

Nope, nada, I got nothin!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 907 , Wednesday 22/04/2026

Wednesday started at around 7am.

Got my breakfast then had to take Mrs S for a blood test before dropping her off at work.

Straight to the gym after that & progress was made.

Did my chores when I got home then hit the PS5 this afternoon.

Met Mrs S at around 17:30 at B&Q, we have decided to paint her study rather than put wallpaper up so we returned the rolls I bought last month & got 5 litres of paint. Crucially I didn’t think to put it in a bag or anything.

We decided to go out for tea & ended up at one of our favourite eateries out on the edge of the moors, it was a lovely drive but very twisty & turny & bumpy!

Had a nice meal, bavette steak & chips with a side salad for me, very nice although the steak wasn’t very warm.

We had a nice trip home & got back just after 8pm.
We went to get the paint out, only to find it had tipped & spilt!

There was paint all over the boot, it was everywhere!

Mrs S took on her rabbit in the headlights mode so yours truly spent the next hour & a half cleaning the car. There is still paint on the upholstery but I’m hoping that our little vax will sort that out tomorrow, if not then we will have some nice cream highlights on the back seat!

Final Thoughts.

Sometimes the smallest oversight can ruin a day!

Also my right knee was really not happy coming up the stairs when I finally made it up for a shower & bed. I do wonder if I caused more damage than I thought when my thigh went twang the other week.

Oh well tomorrow is another day, & to be perfectly honest not one I’m looking forward to, I sense much frustration in my immediate future.

Tuesday started at around 7:30 but I got diverted by messing with the automation on my iphone so that thru the day out by an hour!

Chores were done then I went wild & gave the washing machine a deep clean.

Hotdog for lunch - heck I know how to live the life! 😆

Then not unsurprisingly a romp around medieval Bohemia.

Final Thoughts.

The door demons were strong today, even getting past them to take the veg peelings to the compost heap was a challenge.

Wednesday started at around 7am.

Chores were done & then I faced the Door Demons & went out to Costco™.

So many people!

I had a moment at the till, I had forgotten my card pin so I looked it up, but a;; that seemed to fill my brain up & I started to walk away without loading the shoping back into the trolly!

Got back home just in time for lunch, Mrs S appearing just as I had finished putting the shopping away & expecting her lunch.

Hit Kuttenberg in KCD2 & ended up doing the same quest 3 times because I kept forgetting stuff!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 882 , Saturday 28/03/2026

Saturday started around the usual time, around 07:15.

Breakfast was followed by a prolonged search for a new pint glass for Mrs S as I dropped her favourite one while I was washing up. We have a ceramic sink & while it looks great it is a bugger for killing anything that will break on impact with a hard surface!

It too me ages to find something suitable, in the end I got a LotR one off Etsy. Hopefully Mrs S will like it!

Then I had to clean the upstairs floors, always a fun job!

It was a day for deliveries this afternoon, first the cleaning kit I ordered for Mrs S’s iphone rocked up. It has lots of useful mini tools for getting into the charging ports & such. I gave the phone a good once over & it seems to work ok now.

The kit also came with some dust plugs for the lightening port, made out of aluminium of all things! I wanted to make sure that if the dust plug was removed it wouldn’t get lost so I got out my Dremel™ & drilled a tiny hole thru which to thread a length of fishing line. Or at least that was the plan - what I had not planned for was finding a whole new way to damage myself! I managed to drill right thru the plug & up into the base of the nail on my left hand 1st finger! 🙄🤦‍♂️ This of course bled profusely & required the application of a plaster.

My new set of screwdrivers rocked up later in the afternoon - the first full set I have ever bought, Dewalt ‘maxfit’ demolition ones. They look the biz, time will tell if they are any good. I also got a Bosch Go 3 driver, which is pretty awesome.
This all resulted in an afternoon spent happily rearranging various tool boxes & retiring the mixed bag of screwdrivers I have accumulated over the years - they have gone in my ‘backup’ tool box which is always a joy to pull out as I normally forget exactly what is in it, so there are numerous “oh I never knew I had one of those” moments.

We had a Chinese takeaway for tea & watched ‘Love & Monsters’ on Netflix - a surprisingly good & funny post apocalyptic movie about one wimp & his dog on a journey to find lost love!

Final Thoughts.

Not a bad day, despite drilling a hole in my finger &

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 885 , Tuesday 31/03/2026

Tuesday started at just after 7am.

The usual making of breakfast & chores followed.

It has been a Lovely sunny day which explains why I managed so much!

Then I finished cleaning the Cona coffee machine & even cleaned the stove hob!

Fixed my bedroom door, which has been sticking for a while & my ADHD finally kicked in while I was upstairs for a completely different purpose & bullied me into adjusting the hinges.

Collected the last 12 months worth of drinks cans (which we save) & stashed them in the car for dropping off at the scrap merchants en-route to the cinema.

I also managed to fight off the door demons long enuf to get a small pack of ground coffee - this took longer than planed because the one thing that is not displayed on the packaging of ground coffee is how fine it has been ground & I needed medium to coarse for the Cona.

We had lunch & then I made my first attempt with the Cona … just enough for 2 cups.
It is magical to watch it work, I couldn’t find any methylated spirits for the burner that comes with the set so risked it on the hob. I pre-boiled the water, & added that & the coffee grounds to the Cona. It only took about 3 or 4 minutes to make the coffee.
I have to admit, I was on edge that I would make a mess of the first attempt, but no, it was close to a religious experience! It makes THE most delicious coffee! I’m hooked! This will be the way I make my afternoon coffee from now on (its a bit involved for breakfast). To this end a grinder has been ordered - the best budget one I could find.

We just had time to drink our coffee before setting out for the cinema, dropping off the cans & making a tidy 18 quid into the bargain!

‘Project Hail Mary’ was brilliant, they have managed to capture the story from the book very well & the visual effects, acting & score made it an experience worth waiting for. I really enjoyed my first trip to the ‘Piccies’ in nearly 7 years! I also ate far too many sweets - curse the pick n mix display I never could resist them!

We got home in time for a light meal & then watched an ep. Of ‘All Creatures Great & Small’ (original series) to end the day.

Final Thoughts.

I have had a really good day, the Cona coffee maker is a revelation in my coffee drinking world, I hope that I can repeat & maybe improve upon the inaugural cup! It’s a bit of a faff, but when it makes coffee that good it’s worth it!

I had such a good time at the movies & we are looking forward to going again when a suitable movie appears on the scene!

Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 884 , Monday 30/03/2026

Monday started at just after 7am, it seems I am doomed not to have a lie in until Mrs S goes back to work!

Did my usual Monday chores then we were off out into the big wide world.

First stop was to begin the process of ordering a headstone, this is not something that happens in a hurry. The plot needs to be left to settle for 6 months before a headstone can be placed.

We were faced with questions that we hadn’t really thought about so things like style & exact wording are still to be finalised.

From the memorial place we headed up to my MiLs house & spent about 3 hours in the continuing battle with the loft contents.

One of the ‘treasures’ that emerged was a Cona Coffee set … in mint condition! The gift box it is in has seen better days but the glassware is pristine having spent something like the last 40 years in my late MiL’s loft!

I do need a manual coffee grinder though, I don’t own one - the De’Longhi coffee machine we have is Bean to cup so the grinder is integral to it.

I will have to pop out in the morning & buy some pre-ground suff just for an in initial trial!

We stopped off for another pub meal on the way home & then settled in for a binge session of ‘Red Eye: Crimson Icarus’ a most excellent series.

Final Thoughts.

Why do people always want to change you?
“Have cold showers”
“Get rid of all your clocks”
“Eat this diet”

Ok the last one has some merit & I do need to get on a healthier diet & get a little more exercise.
I know folks mean well but having achieved level 58 in the ‘Great Game’ I feel that, while there is much in life I still don’t understand, there are things that suit me & that grease the squeaky gates of my existence.
I like to know what time it is & I like to know my clocks are telling the right time. Not because I have a busy schedule, far from it, my life is fairly empty. I even have fairly bad time keeping habits … but I do like to know the time & for it to be the right time.

I have never liked being cold, it is a painful & deeply uncomfortable sensation for me & I avoid it if I can, this may make me a big wuss but it is what it is. I will go out & get cold if there is a compelling reason to do so but only then.

Certain lifestyle choices I do have to change if I want to avoid spending my latter years in a nursing home but some choices I am more than happy to live with.

I am chuffed with us finding the Cona coffee maker!
