Just wait until they send you the next step in their sequence on Christmas morning…

Very 80s morning so far. Started off watching original He-Man and Thundercats with the boys before school (currently being indoctrinated to 80s classics) and just took delivery of a Street Fighter II cartridge for my son’s Megadrive emulator (which is definitely a present for him…) #genx #80s

Nothing like listening to carols by the King’s College choir to get you in the spirit on a Monday morning

If games really influenced young people, munching pills in a dark room to repetitive electronic music would be a real thing.

That said, it’s not a silver bullet by any means. I’m having to learn the strategies for having a less stressful personal and work life that I think adhd didn’t let me develop until now. Hence why I’m having my first meeting with an adhd coach today

And zero efficiency in anything I did! While it was fucking annoying and stressful it did at least prove to me (and anyone who knows me!) what a difference medication makes.

Month three of taking adhd meds (Elvanse) and I hadn’t realised how much of a difference it made until I adhd’d booking my last private medication appointment and was without them for four days. The difference was staggering - total inability to regulate emotionally 🧵🪡

Also, it isn’t a miracle cure 😭 I am actually meeting an adhd coach this morning because I have found that my adhd didn’t really allow me to develop the same strategies as NT people to help me succeed in life (work not so much). BUT I can actually sit at my computer and get shit done now!

I’m on Elvanse (the same but in the uk) and it’s made a huge difference, partly with focus but actually more so with emotional regulation

Christmas sauerkraut anyone? Not sure how traditional it is but I had loads of cabbage from Oxford City Larder run by Sofea.uk.com to use up. It’s an amazing organisation helping to reduce the tonnes and tonnes of perfectly good food thrown away by supermarkets and shops #nowaste

I had no idea about the incredible history of the #O2 Academy in #Oxford. Previously The Zodiac and The Venue before that, #Radiohead, Ride and #Supergrass saved it from closing by investing in it in the 90s

Pardon our interruption...eBay Home

I'm auctioning one of my old guitars on Ebay this week with the proceeds going to The Blake Cottage Trust who are raising funds to repair the 17thC cottage in Sussex where William Blake lived when he wrote the lyric that became 'Jerusalem' www.blakecottage.org/home

Almost immediately, and then wake up one day three months later and realised I haven’t used that thing for 2 months and 3 weeks…
