I will dress up for Halloween for work but I cannot figure out what to dress as and it’s so frustrating.

After not handing in my first two assignments for the two subjects I’m currently studying, I then didn’t hand in the next two assignments…so I wasn’t going to pass anyway. Once I have my adhd diagnosis I’m going to get a letter from my psychiatrist stating that I’ve had severely reduced capacity due to adhd and work stress and that led me to being unable to do my assignments. It’s really hard to explain the feeling of it all, but I’m just going allow myself to rest and reduce the pressure on myself.

Kind of want a frank green bottle but also can’t justify paying that much money for one. They’re just pretty, but I don’t drink a lot of water and I don’t think it would motivate me to drink more. So basically what you’ve witnessed is me talking myself out of it.

Maybe? Lol I know a lot of neurotypical people who rewatch shows over and over and quote from individual episodes. Whereas ADHD can have a huge impact on the memory.

The biggest advantage of ADHD is that if I wait long enough before rewatching a series, it’s like watching a whole new series again. I’m watching Charmed and it’s like watching a whole new series again, obviously I remember significant parts, but sometimes I can’t place them and I feel the emotions all over again.

I have to do a video presentation that presents both sides. It has to be 7-10 minutes long. I think I could present a decent explanation of both sides for point 1 in 7-10 minutes whereas I feel point 2 requires depth and I don’t know if 10 minutes is enough.

This was my initial thinking too, I’m realistically doing this in a day, so it’s definitely the one that is more suitable for the time span.

Definitely true, I agree about the true representations both have.

Some really valid points! Thank you so much, I looked at number 2 and couldn’t quite get my head around what information I use.

Definitely agree, this is why I’m so torn, I’m so firmly in the affirmative for both that bringing the negative is difficult to even fathom. Topic one probably allows for easier access to negative side, which attracts me to it but then I’m firmly of the opinion that I want to see a lot more Indigenous culture in todays Australia.

I’ve got to an assignment where I present both sides of an argument, I have two to choose from:

1. should the date of 26 Jan as Australia Day be changed?

2. is there room for Indigenous culture in modern Australian society?

I really like both options, as someone originally from NZ where it isn’t perfect but our Indigenous culture is held is much more esteem, I like the culture argument but also as someone who is firmly in the move the date camp, I’m also interested in that. which should I choose?

I’m going to order in some lollies and chips to use as study rewards, any recommendations?

That would genuinely be the absolute best! I wish that was an option. I found the courage and energy to check, I found half of a dead mouse on the carpet (the other half I’ll assume is in my cats stomach) and I disposed of it whilst fetching heavily. I will be second guessing ever letting my cat out in the backyard ever again.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who would shut up shop and leave normally. But I really like being in my own space for sleep.

The update is, I psyched myself up and found that there was half of a dead mouse visible on the floor, I then psyched myself up and used a dustpan and brush to scoop it up which was by far one of the worst things I’ve had to do. For that I’m quite glad I found the nerve to check but at the same time, deeply regretful as the nausea from retching hasn’t subsided.

My cat caught a mouse in the backyard and brought it inside and straight into my bedroom and my mum just straight up shut my door, which I get as she is deathly afraid of mice. I haven’t been back into my room, I don’t know if the mouse escaped in my room or is dead, or escaped half dead and is now dead in one of the 500 nooks and crannies of my bedroom full of stuff and I don’t really know what to do, I’m exhausted after a day of gardening and I really don’t want to go on a mouse search right now but I know I have to. I’m just here to complain and seek comfort.

Edited to add: my cat is only allowed in the backyard when I am around to supervise, we had a previous mouse problem but had dealt with it.

What I should be doing; My assignment

What I have been doing: Scrolling, watching reality tv, chatting on dating apps, looking for a new bed frame that I have no money for, playing sims

Going to after work drinks tomorrow night and the problem with my job is that I educate germ filled toddlers who have the snottiest noses so my preference is to change my clothing regardless of whether snot ends up on the clothing or not. So do I wear a sweater dress and take another sweater dress to change into, or do I wear jeans and a top to work and then take a replacement pair of jeans and a nice top to put on. The dress is perfect for ease and speed, the jeans are sort of practical and more casual but not sure why. If someone could unscramble my thoughts and make a decision for me, I’d appreciate it.

I got a great hair cut, but my hairdresser curled it so much it somehow looked like I had more hair then before (but I trust him) and now that I’ve washed it, I can say, there is significantly less hair and my trust was well placed.

There’s a $20 return fee, I did it all through the Uber app, so he gets the full amount. Once I’m paid I’ll add tip as well.

I left my earphone case in the back of an Uber yesterday morning, didn’t realise until I got home last night because I thought I’d left the case at home, I also had been wearing one earphone. Lol. Luckily I called the driver and he had the case (and the other earphone) and he made it to South Melbourne tonight and dropped them off to me.
