Must have done a really good savasana this morning, as the cat sniffed my nose, waved his butt in my face, nudged my arm, then joined me, after a sniff of my armpit with his cold nose. #yogaeveryday #6amclub #catoga #writerslife

I have two goals today: 1) to get through the day without needing a change of clothes due to tea catastrophes and 2) to get through more than 2 minutes of Kesio Lupo’s Write Mentor talk without interruptions #writinglife #ADHDlife #teens @keslupo.bsky.social @write-mentor.bsky.social

Decided to join the other day based on this list of events. I will sort my life out to attend live at some point, but enjoyed listening to the #YAchat while I was cooking today. Going to need to listen again so I can actually write down all the book recs at the beginning.

Day 1 of #campdichotomy @writemagic.bsky.social Before starting any good challenge one must tidy up, and make a pinboard and world building pocket, as well as a desk tidy for my laptop and keyboard etc. #writinggoals #WritingwithADHD

I realised I needed to go back to my writing plan and outline to be able to set my #writinggoals for #campdichotomy over at @writemagic.bsky.social while also respecting my #ADHDgoals and it seems far longer than I imagined 🤔😤

Ridiculously proud of my first #Tillyandthebuttons creation #SewingStevie Having said that things I learned: 1) Read the instructions 2) Local shop = great customer service, but less choice 3) Read the instructions 4) Tilly and the buttons has an abundance of instructions, pictures & vids

During my monthly check in, the doc told me she wouldn’t prescribe me anymore anti fart pills because -she gave me the look one gives a child you’re repeating something to for the millionth time - we’ve talked about this before. so if anyone has any good #LowFODMAP recipes, hit me up.

I’m currently purralyzed can’t possibly get the dinner on, so my partner texted me to gently push the cat away. Taytay McFaefae was suitably aggrieved. #CatLife #WasWriting

Well that was a really meta moment. There I was listening to a podcast about neurodivergent writers, when I walked into the cupboard door I’d left open! #ADHD #WritersLife #UKkkdlit www.savannahgilbo.com/blog/tips-fo...

I confess that I’ve been obsessed with #TheRealWagathaStory ever since seeing that tweet all those years ago. And now I have seen into Coleen Rooney’s life I’m obsessed by her Uber levels of organisation. And very guilty of not thinking about the affect on the people involved.
