What’s the β€œeasy” task that gives you SO much trouble to get done that it’s ridiculous?

I’ll start: renewing prescriptions, OMG. Please tell me your magic for doing this instead of putting if off so long it’s a real problem

It’s totally ok. But yes, you may regret it. Put them in a shoebox on a shelf in the closet and pretend you threw them away. Pick a date on your calendar 3 months from now. When that day rolls around, check with yourself: Are you glad you β€œthrew them away” or are you glad they’re still there?

ADHD coach: If you want to get things done, stay off the couch.

ADHD me: Oooh I wonder who invented couches

If you’re going to add a fake tattoo to a photo of Abrego Garcia’s hand, maybe think it through and don’t use a computer font.

Thank goodness for ADHD meds because on days I don't have them (like today), my head is a cafeteria with some of the most annoying kids I've ever met.

The fact that each of the four brilliant β€œAdolescence” episodes was shot in one take - which is integral to the entire point of the show - is completely lost when @netflix.com breaks in with ads.

Why I Left the Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos wants to transform the Opinions section of the paper, where I worked for forty years. After the publisher killed my column disagreeing with that moveβ€”it appears here in fullβ€”I decided...

This week I left The Washington Post after 40 years, 6 months and 6 days. Today I have a piece in the New Yorker explaining my heart-breaking decision, and including the column that was spiked. I wish I never had to write it. www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

As if it’s not enough that democracy is under siege, we have a war with Canada now, and Elon Musk wants to eliminate Social Security, @southwestair.bsky.social is now going to charge bag fees. Herb Kelleher would not be happy.

Virtual Town Hall for Senator Jerry Moran YouTube video by Prairie Hollow Creations

Kansas, you rock!

Sen Jerry Moran hasn’t had a town hall, so his constituents had an empty chair one But, they live all over the state, so they did it on zoom with someone signing in as Jerry Moran.

Bravo!

So if you’re barrier was that it has to be in person, no, it doesn’t

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

Wife of Iraq veteran detained by ICE says husband was told he would not be deported In an exclusive interview with ABC15, Tanisha Hartwell-Parris asks the federal government to honor a commitment it made to her husband, Marlon Parris, to not deport him.

He went to Iraq after 9/11. Served several deployments. Now we’re not going to honor the promise we made.

That time 3 hours before you’re finished when your brain announces that it’s done. Good times.

Excellent planning on my part: Buying six rolls of tape before gift-wrapping season began

Not-so-excellent planning: I can’t find them

Christmas should be like Leap Year, once every four years. Or the Olympics, so we’d really truly be excited to see it coming. There could even be medals. I would earn the gold in time blindness for sure.
