Carnivale is best

I just had food in my mouth, thanks

Right now I'm reading the biography of a Finnish conservationist Pentti Linkola. He was controversial but interesting a character.

I also have City of Darkness on the table, it's about Kowloon Walled City. Both books are great!

They must've named it after the orange president's condition

What often helps my analysis paralysis is to focus on the first step, for example: I've decided to go for a bike ride but it feels overwhelming because I'm not sure which route to take, instead of stressing over the route (which can take hours as I go through different options and how I feel about them etc and eventually stop me from going) I set a goal to go downstairs to the garage where I keep my bike. At that point I already have my cycling gear on and it's much easier to hop on the saddle and take some direction without thinking about the route so much as I'm already on the move.

So my advice: try setting an easier goal. Think about the first step you can take. For example instead of thinking about doing a full workout decide to just go and see the gym. Now that you are already there you may feel like you want to do some exercise as well.

I'm back to eating frozen veggies and sauerkraut for lunch. Went to a store I like going to but it was the wrong time so there were too many people everywhere... but at least I have more frozen veggies now. I wish everything wasn't so fricken expensive!

I haven't been able to summon any hyperfixations for a while and without that energy burst it's nearly impossible to start any projects, even things I'd - in theory - enjoy. And then on the other hand now that I know where those "this must be the thing that will make life meaningful and give me direction" -thoughts came from I'm also restricting myself to not start anything new because nothing will carry very far. Burnout sucks.

Edit: I've also noticed that Elvanse makes it harder to start new things, apparently because it evens out the dopamine spikes that one would normally get from new hyperfixations.

My counsellor told me that some people stop taking their ADHD meds if they need to start a new (creative) project.

I have a drawer in the garage titled "uncle solutions", it has a collection of rusted wire, bits of electric wire and similar shit for "quick fixes". I also just bought me and my SO nordic walking sticks, we still need to get matching trekking suits. Oh and I dream about retiring to a remote cottage and growing my own veggies like proper siberian babushka.

Well now you got me breathing manually

Meowdy!

It might but my money don't

I do recommend!

Looking cozy!

Rainy day but we managed to lay two layers of bricks on the smoke sauna fireplace and cleared ground around the building to prevent moisture creeping up the walls. It's nice to do some physical work every now and then and also learning new skills is great!

Hi Bert! I used to read "Bert Diaries" when I was a kid/teen.

At cottage again and this time no neighbours around! Yay! We have a sauna project which hopefully we'll continue this weekend. Weather is getting a little bit warmer so maybe we'll get to enjoy some nice autumny days as well!

This august has indeed been a joke...

I probably would end up in limbo getting splashed by Magikarp

I was helping my SO's sibling with packing today, they are moving this weekend. I'm glad they got an actual company do the moving and we don't need to help because the sibling is quite chaotic... 😅

Haha well I wish there would be warmer days still. We have a long dark winter here in Finland and this year June was cold as well, usually August and early September are perfect weather but doesn't look too promising now. I like riding a motorbike and cycling so I really wouldn't mind if the season lasted a bit longer!
