gremdarkThis always works for my brain when it's buzzing, and it's BUZZING today. So here's a post for me to edit with updates as I get writing done and tidy the house. ADHD meds, save me from myself! I've locked myself out of my phone for 120 minutes, so my only options are writing, chores, and staring into space.
Wrote a few hundred words on a Rare Kink Buffet prompt. When I'm this jittery with directionless ADHD energy, my cleaning hack is to do roughly five units each of several tasks instead of trying to pin myself to one. So I put away about five dishes, folded five pieces of clean laundry, and picked up five things from the bedroom floor.
200 words of a different Rare Kink Buffet prompt. I can really feel the hyperactivity (and associated misery) today. Absolutely horrid. I put away five more dishes, folded the rest of the laundry, cleaned the stovetop and counters, and spot-vacuumed the corners and under furniture. I know I took my meds this morning because I was there when I took them and the drink I got to take them with is still on the table. But I sure FEEL unmedicated and I'm glad I don't have to drive anywhere this afternoon.
200 words of a third prompt. I took a break for lunch, then put away the rest of the laundry and five dishes and cleaned the toilet. Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing. Would you believe it if I told you that current geopolitics have me kind of on edge?
400 words of another prompt. I put away the rest of the dishes, then loaded the dishes from the sink into the dishwasher and did some vague kitchen tidying. It's beginning to look cleaner in here.
