Only this evening realised it's ADHD awareness week! I would love to give Delivered from Distraction to everyone around me... :)
What a beautiful, busy day! Mind you, I overslept, big time, only getting up just before 10am. And was chasing my tail all day long.
Only took my 18mg Concerta at about 2pm, because I kept forgetting to take it.
Which reminds me that I've been meaning to discuss complements.
Have been finding 1x18mg Concerta Controlled release does the trick, in conjunction with one cup of strong coffee early-ish in the day, plus 2 x 1000 mg Fish Oil capsules (rich in Omega-3 EPA & DHA, vit. E), taken morning and evening, plus 2-3 x Calcium Magnesium Citrate (Solgar), i.e. 2-3 x 100 mg Magnesium citrate/2-3 x 200 mg Calcium citrate (taken in the evening and before bedtime).
(Not very happy to find the CMC has been shipped across the Atlantic, and the fish oil capsules are "sourced in southern oceans" and contain soy-based vit. E)
What emotional pangs did I notice today?
Not many. Chatted to the lovely couple at the local health-food shop and found them very reassuring and kind indeed. I've been a good customer, but they do go out of their way to find good stuff for folks.
What feelings about differences did I notice?
I notice many things others overlook. But I'm not perfect.
What went well today?
By the skin of my teeth, shipped off two major pieces of work before heading out and away from my desk/computer for the rest of the week.
Walked into town and back (with two heavy shopping bags).
Enjoyed the sun and the glorious views across Oban Bay.
Enjoyed the look of the sky around sunset and throughout dusk. So pretty.
Discovered the identity of a flock of birds whose underwings flash whitely many an evening above one of the houses on the horizon: simple pigeons. But what a gorgeous sight they make when they fly in harmony, much like starlings.
Money situation somewhat more relaxed.
Sent off a stern reminder to a tardy client with a poor reputation – paid through the nose for a recorded letter they will have to sign for. Not a peep out of them since I sent an e-mail reminder, followed by a letter, followed by another e-mail. Hope this will stir them up, and a warning to follow-up by taking legal steps against them. We'll see. Hate to do this, though!
Found a note on facebook by someone in the Glasgow group who finally gathered courage to go back to their GP – and found a new person listening with great sympathy and interest. So pleased!
How can I make it happen more regularly?
Stop and smell the roses by the wayside.
What strengths have I focused on today?
Focusing. Hyperfocus to the point where I've not had any fluids in between meals.
At what point did I feel most authentically myself?
Working, getting stuff done. Walking. Chatting with folk. Sharing smiles with strangers. Walking with purpose and energetically.
What did not go so well?
Overslept.
I've not touched my accounts.
Still haven't called the plumber.
Haven't told my landlord about the broken (and replaced) de-humidifier.
