Rawdogging the weekend

 Friday (trap lining) and Saturday (today) with no ritalin. How's it going?

I definitely can't multi task. At all. My wife was asking me questions and I had no idea how to absorb the questions or provide any answers while I was sending a text message. I had the choice between ignoring her and finishing my message, or stopping, asking her to start again, and then forgetting what I was trying to do with my text message.

On Saturday I went for a 5k run and it was so hard. I've realised what 'hitting the wall' feels like, it's what running without ritalin feels like all the time after the first 10 minutes' running. It's horrible.

I've not got a lot done today, even going downstairs to pick up something took like 20 min by the time I read all of the social media. The coffee is helping though! I did get the 30 min concrete fixing job done though. And I nearly got my taxes done (but I'm typing this blog instead). 

I think for the sake of getting stuff done, I better take some Ritalin tomorrow.

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
