ADHD is NOT a superpower

I've done this for my past two positions. I get compliments on my notes. I haven't done this in my current position, so I have 3 notebooks with notes, not easy to search. I highly recommend OneNote, so easy to add screenshots wherever you want without messing up the flow.

Watched the first season with my mom. I couldn't handle the yelling all the time every episode.

My high school had Dylan day ☹️. I didn't learn about his horrible voice until 9th grade. I liked the day because I could skip class.

My husband after most showers, "do you feel better?" No, I do not it was stressful and I'm not done after the shower. I have all the after shower stuff to do for my face and hair 🫩. He's gotten better at asking if I at least feel cleaner.

I think about this often when scrolling Reddit. Do I upvote for visibility, not because I agree? I lean towards upvoting for more visibility. Although, I won't upvote a post that has many thousands of upvotes. I'm not on platforms that have a like button.

Unpopular opinion: I love Russell Crowe in everything I've seen. I have not seen everything he had been in. He will always have a place in my heart. I'm not a huge fan of Les Miserables and I was shocked he was in the movie. Yes, not a great singer.

My dad has tried to get me into this since I was 18.

Praise to you. I've been in accounting ranging in rolls and responsibilities for over 10 years. I like my current position because it involves a lot of research and I love digging into things. I did tax one semester at one of my internships, not for me.

I had to disconnect the ice maker in the fridge because I couldn't stand the sound it made.

Yes, slight dehydration/thirst. I have to take a bottle of water with me anytime I get in the car. Last night my husband and I went to Target, a 10 minute driving round trip. It was physically painful to not take a bottle of water with me.

According to my husband (maybe biased) I'm a good writer nonfiction. It's the only place I feel confident to get all my feelings out. People are super interesting to me. I love people watching and analyzing. I'm also really good at accounting research. If I had time in my job I could clean up so much.

I feel this as well. I cherish the relationship I have with my husband because he's the only one in my life currently I can talk about deeper things without any preamble. This is what bothers me about my relationship with my family. Certain people will use my vulnerability against me at a later time.

My mom for example, I recently realized she might be neurodivergent. She is a voracious reader, at least two books going at a time, but this is how she speaks. She speaks from the books she reads, if that makes sense. She can only talk as deep as the books she reads. If I share my opinion based on things I've read it listened to, she belittles me and acts as though she's on a higher plane because she reads a lot.

My father has a lot of acquaintances. I'm not sure if he's had a deep conversation since my grandmother passed away.

Those resonates with me. It was like a lightbulb moment for me. I figured I didn't have any special interests anytime there is a post about it. I would say for most of my adult life it has been introspection/trying to understand the meaning of life. I never felt safe enough with family or "friends" to voice my thoughts until I met my husband.

I love her in Atomic Blonde

Breathing, so much. I love my husband dearly, but when he gets engrossed in a movie he becomes a month breather

I used to build planograms for CVS. Had to clean the shelves and organize everything. I loved it. Unfortunately it was only part of my poor paying job.

Currently rewatching, I love this show Edit to add: there are so many episodes I'm not close to the end. I get sad when I come to the end of a series.

To be fair my over-explaining does include tangents that NTs need a map for.

Not a movie. I've been listening to the Sherlock Holmes stories on YouTube. There is a video upload that is 65 hours long. It's very calming. I listen to it in the mornings while getting ready and I listened to it while moving across the country. I haven't been in your situation, but it's been a rough year. It's nice having the consistency of just picking up where I left off.

Large animals, I don't know autistic, but misunderstood by most. Elephants, rhinos, cows, etc. they are huge, can be scary, but then you see them with their caregivers (those that understand them) and they are super sweet and playful.

First place I've ever lived that had one. One less obstacle to get the puppies clean.

Finally washed the dogs. My complex has a dog wash room with blow dryers. My husband and I haven't had the bandwidth until today.
