That is my profile picture on Bluesky.

not the same thing. Yes we get anxiety at times when we realize we forgot a whole bunch of shit we were supposed to do. It is like those naked dreams where you realize you are not wearing pants.

In the late 1980s I tried crystal meth and it was like a super drug that allowed me to maintain my hyperfocus and get so much shit done. But it only lasted 48 hours. Luckily, I could not source anymore so did not chase that functionality so I did not become a “faces of meth” person. I can’t imagine what I could have achieved being appropriately medicated with a legal medication that was regulated. I might have ended up in medical school.

When I was in school, I would wait until the last possible minute. Pull an all-nighter to hand that research paper in with all the things and pull it off but then have to crash for a day or 2 after… well, I might get drunk or high first— circa early 80’s. It was a bit harder than today as there was no internet/online resources. I had to go to the library and look shit up in these big indexes and microfiche. I lived on pepsi and doritos.

I have to remind myself to write a list and then set a reminder on my phone to check the list. Then set a timer for the easiest fastest shit to complete. and still decide that the frog can wait another day. I try to make a 3 list… 3 Things I have to do. each. day. I can’t manage more than 3 and I want to tell you… basic hygiene like bathing is included.

i have never been diagnosed but then, I grew up GenX so was just considered a daydreamer and a bit slow/absent minded. (like the stupid one).

This along with the elimination of USAID should disqualify the orange gorilla from any peace prize .

Our livingroom aquarium is a reef tank so is for catertainment purposes only. We do have a big tank water basin thing for the kittes and a large dog bowl if they prefer it. Also, they will sip from the toilet which is gross. The kittes are inside/outside so have outdoor resources as well (considering our NE Zone 6 bizarre torrential rains… almost tropical rains.
