I think we sometimes dismiss ADHD wins because they look ridiculously ordinary from the outside. Made the phone call. Opened the mail. Put the laundry away. Answered the email. Scheduled the appointment. But if something has generated days of resistance, completing it isn’t small just because another person finds it easy. It IS a win! What seemingly tiny thing have you done recently that deserves more credit than you gave it? For me, it was trying to get back on here more regularly. If I log in? Or do a check in, that’s a small win for me.

📅 Daily Check-in - October 6, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Yesterday into this morning was okay. I mean, it ended up really good, but it started off good, and then it went down, and then it went back up again. I had gone over to my laptop and saw that the battery was at 50% while it was plugged in, and I noticed it wasn't charging, so I unplugged it, plugged it back in, nothing. I took the whole charger, pulled the plug out of it, took it out of the computer, took it out of the wall, plugged everything back together, plugged it into a different outlet, plugged it into the wall, I mean, into my laptop, still nothing. So I did what you would normally do to check everything. So I'm like, I need my laptop. Drove all the way down to Gainesville, which wasn't a wasted trip because I got a text that my glasses were ready as well. So I got my new glasses, got a new charger, and then I came home, plugged the charger in, and it didn't work either. And I was getting very anxious because now I'm down to 30-something percent, and then the laptop jumped down and it shut off. So I went into panic mode. I mean, I knew how to get the hard drive out if I needed it in an emergency, I sat with it, stared at it, and I kept holding the power button down, thinking maybe it went into hibernation. And then I saw the power light come on. I'm like, okay, well, that's good. And then I see the laptop, as if it's just starting. It starts, and I notice the battery has a little lightning bolt on it. So then I look on the side of the laptop, and the light was on. So then I went back to my old charger, plugged it in, and it's working just fine. So everything was fine. It needed a reboot. But I've never, ever in the life of doing my tech support, I've ever had to reboot for a charger. That was new to me. The kids friend friend, and ours by extension as well, even though he’s 24 I think. Anyways he had moved up to New York around April or May, but he flew into Orlando Sanford airport last night. My kids drove down to pick him up and brought him back and so he’s staying with us for I guess a week. I really didn’t know all the details until the other day so it shows the communication here. lol While they were gone, my wife and I, we put our devices down mostly and we watched a movie together that we wanted to see. And then our TV, it’s a new TV and the setup is kind of new and how to use it to get to what we’re used to as it’s a “smart” Google 🤮 TV.

📅 Daily Check-in - October 8, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Right now, I feel exhausted and drained. I could blame some of it on poor sleep, which definitely didn't help, but today has just been…not good. An elderly friend of ours went through something absolutely devastating today involving a family member and law enforcement. I knew while it was unfolding that it probably wasn't going to end well, but I kept hoping I was wrong. I reached out and offered to get her away from the situation or bring her somewhere safe where she wouldn't have to sit there waiting and watching. She wanted to stay nearby until she knew how it ended. Unfortunately, it ended in the worst possible way. There really isn't anything useful I can add to that. It was horrible, and my heart hurts for her. Then, because apparently today hadn't met its daily drama quota yet, family financial stuff showed up. I've been trying to establish a boundary where I am no longer the person who automatically gets put in the middle whenever somebody needs money transferred, something fixed, something arranged, or somebody rescued. I said no. Apparently “no” is a surprisingly complicated word. 🤦‍♂️ A decision somebody else made then somehow became my fault, and before long I was getting messages about why I wasn't helping. That's the part that gets me. I don't mind helping people. I actually like helping people. But there is a difference between helping someone and becoming the permanent mechanism through which everyone else's problems get solved. And I am finally starting to recognize that difference. So I held the boundary. Was I irritated? Yep. Did I probably say some things in my head that would not qualify for the Harmony Tree? Also yep. 😂 But I did not fix it. On top of all of that, I've also been dealing with some physical symptoms lately that I need to get checked out, so I contacted the doctor's office and have a follow-up scheduled. Eventful day. Unusual day. Emotionally exhausting day. And meanwhile, life around the house is continuing like normal, which somehow makes everything feel even stranger.
