This awaited me in the kitchen after I woke up today. A crafty teen who loves #spiders might have a funeral planned. 🕷️🕷️🕷️🪦🪦🪦

More Notes & Asides
This looks soooooo purty! I love how #IntoTheSpiderverse (one the best #movies EVER) broke #animation out of its ‘Everything looks like #Pixar’ doldrums. Now we get actual feasts for the eyes, like The Mitchells vs the Machines, instead of Even More Realistic Hair™. #TMNT #MutantMayhem #trailer
Just shared this with my kids. It is good to know how long political things take when it seems like nothing is happening. It took Biden & his team 6 months to get through Mike Johnson’s skull. Politics & diplomacy are delicate processes and things are rarely as simple as we wish. This was simple vs how complex & multifaceted the situation with Israel, Iran, et al is. This is also why experience matters. Young pols might talk the talk but getting things done is a completely different ballgame. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/24/politics/white-house-ukraine-funding-push/index.html
I stopped taking #Adderall daily 3w ago because I wasn’t sure it was really making a big difference. I had skipped it unintentionally a couple of days in the month prior and didn’t notice, which is what got me thinking about stopping. Instead of the XR I now have the regular kind for use as needed, so I had one yesterday and was pretty productive and focused over the course of the afternoon. But I fucking woke up at 5:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. The stuff is not going to be very useful if it fucks with my sleep and worsens my symptoms the following day 😑 #adhd
I’m naming my adhd blog ‘What Was I Doing Again?’ I say that multiple times a day, except it usually starts with ‘WTF’ and I didn’t think that would be a great name or URL 😆
If you’re wondering whether a #LowFat or #LowCarb #diet is better, wonder no more with these randomized control trials. I’ve gone hardcore #vegan and hardcore #paleo and only in the latter did weight just melt off within the first month with no exercise at all. It’s not coincidental that the obesity rate in the US shot up after a low fat diet was recommended in 1977. I’m currently researching a #keto diet for both longevity & mental health.
Tomorrow is Day 28 on #Vyvanse, and it’s been a promising time. Not necessarily due to the Vyvanse, though it’s better than #Adderall, #Concerta, or #Strattera for me. Definitely smoother and more ‘in the background’ than other #adhd meds (if they even worked for me), with the only downside being not being able to tolerate much #caffeine while it’s active or I get far beyond jittery. More importantly, it’s been 15 days since I spoke to a new therapist, after a 10 day emotional rollercoaster that was kicked off by a song I hadn’t heard since childhood. I opened up to a therapist for the first time, after previously holding back the stuff I wanted to avoid with multiple therapists. But after the rollercoaster I was on, I just had to let it out. The day after this therapy session, 99% of my #brainfog disappeared, and my executive dysfunction vastly ...
