  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1060 , Tuesday 22/09/2026 Tuesday started just after 7am when I gave up trying to ignore the screaming kids next door. It’s been a busy little day, I cleaned the bathroom & mopped the floor in there, cleaned the extractor fan too - it gets a bi-annual seeing to to keep it running smoothly. Also cleaned the multi-sensor for the weather station, sadly the annual autumnal influx of spiders seems to have completely done for the temperature sensor so I have got...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1052 , Monday 14/09/2026 Monday started early - as Mondays do. Down the gym, took it a bit easier today because I had a few worrying twinges in my chest over the weekend, I think I may have pushed the envelope a bit too far last week. Daily chores & breakfast when I got home. I decided to pull up my big boys trousers around 10ish & called TWAM’s head office - where a very nice lady gave me lots of excuses & gave me the contact numbers of their loca...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1038 , Monday 31/08/2026 Monday, being a public holiday, started with a lie in until 07:30. Breakfast & a few basic chores got the day underway & then I had a couple of hours on the PS5 as Mrs S was doing some admin stuff. All was well until late morning when we had a power cut for an hour! We relaxed with a couple of Mrs S’s TV shows this afternoon & then finshed the day with a fried chicken takeaway & ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’ with Tom Hanks w...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1011 , Tuesday 04/08/2026 Up at around 7am because I could not sleep thru the noise from next door. Chores & breakfast were followed by a very unproductive day, could not get my brain into gear at all! Mrs S wanted to go to Costco™ this afternoon so off we went. The cunning plan was to have an early tea at their ultra cheap cafe & then hit the shop proper. Sadly the first part of the plan went slightly awry! The first issue is that Costco™, in thei...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1005 , Wednesday 29/07/2026 Up early to go to the gym, not a bad session although my knee complained about the leg press! Got back did a couple of chores then had breakfast. Had to go for a blood test &, as is the case these days, the phlebotomist had problems fining a willing vein! Mrs S has been pestering me to do the front hedge so I tackled that this morning & then, in a fit of ADHD enthusiasm topped the hawthorn tree. I only had hedge trimmers &...

  #TimsASDjourney Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1004 , Tuesday 28/07/2026 Up earlier than I expected at just after 7am thanks to next door, noisy lot! A nice quiet day after the chores were completed. A good thing really as my body was whining about all the bending & stretching that happened on Monday! Final Thoughts. The quiet before the storm, gym, blood test & a shopping trip to Costco™ tomorrow! Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1003 , Monday 27/07/2026 Monday started early, it being a gym day. Why are Mondays always a struggle! (Prolly all the naught food I have over the weekend & the fact that I still don’t have a set exercise regimen at home - but don’t tell anyone else that!). After breakfast & a few chores Mrs S & I went across to my late MiL’s house - Mrs S to sort thru some bowls & crockery in the kitchen & me to tackle my late FiL’s garage. So many tools!...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1001 , Saturday 25/07/2026 Saturday started just after 7am & we had a relaxed breakfast before I did my chores. Then off across the hills to treat my Dad to a meal at his favourite eatery for his birthday! The journey across took forever as there were roadworks everywhere! We had a Lovely lunch (I admit to succumbing to the temptation of the Brunch but will be having the chicken & beef sizzle that my sister had next time because it looked & smelt...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 997 , Tuesday 21/07/2026 Tuesday started around 7am. I’ve done a few things around the house & in the garden today, nothing major but I’m glad I got them done. Have finally got around to ordering some lockable ladder brackets for our big set of ladders that have been knocking around the back garden without a proper home for far too long. Pulled pork burgers & salad for tea & I caved to the temptation of hitting the strawberries & ice cream for...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 996 , Monday 20/07/2026 Monday & I reluctantly got my ass down to the gym. Not a bad gym session, I am slowly settling into the current difficulty level on the bike, I am happy with my walk rate on the treadmill, I need a couple more weeks at 5.8 km/h before I take it up to 5.9 - I don’t want to stress my heart too much. I’m firmly stable with the weights, my right arm was hurting after previous sessions but that is now passing as I get stronger. A relaxe...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 995 , Sunday 19/07/2026 Sunday started after a nice lay in at about 8am. It’s been a mostly quiet day, a few chores & then an afternoon spent catching up on some of Mrs S’s shows. Huntsman pie and salad for tea, with our favourite strawgogs & ice cream for dessert! Final Thoughts. Not a bad day at all - my back has forgiven me, which is a good thing because there are a few jobs to do next week that will need me to abuse it again! Thank you to all...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 990 , Tuesday 14/07/2026 Up at just after 06:30 but that was ok because I fell asleep before 10pm last night so a more or less solid 8 hours. Mrs S was in the office to a nice quiet day once I had done my chores! I officially finished NMS exp 22 & got all the goodies I wanted to take back to my main save - & a trendy new multi-tool to boot! Chicken kievs & salad for tea with strawberries for dessert - yum! Final Thoughts. A much nee...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 992 , Thursday 16/07/2026 Thursday started a little later at around 07:15. Another pleasantly warm day here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire & another quiet relaxing day. The ‘high point’ was putting up 2 corkboards for Mrs S after she pestered me into it. Didn’t help with any of the chores mind. Final Thoughts. Back to the gym bright and early tomorrow morning … joy! Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 993 , Friday 17/07/2026 Friday started bright & early & I managed to get my squirrelly ass down to the gym. Tried the new treadmill - not a fan, (which it lacks, a sad oversight given the current temperatures!). It’s been a productive day in small ways. The coffee machine has been cleaned & descaled, the dishwasher has had a cleaning cycle & a variety of other minor tasks. I got some new shoes for round the house yesterday & they are won...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 991 , Wednesday 15/07/2026 Wednesday has been a quiet day, no gym as they were closed today - new equipment being delivered! Final Thoughts. My back has finally decided that it may forgive me for the abuse it got on Sunday & Monday! I need to get some stuff done tomorrow though! Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 @autistics@fedigroups.social #TimsA...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 989 , Monday 13/07/2026 Up at crack of sparrows fart for the gym this morning, despite yesterday’s looooonnnnnnggggg day! Yesterday started out at around 07:30 & after breakfast I cracked on with fitting the shelf over the window (which is actually comprised of 2 shelves that used to be in Mrs S’s study before the epic decorating episode.) sadly the wall is not plum or square or even flat so it Was not as easy as it should have been. Then came the fun bit...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 985 , Thursday 09/07/2026 Thursday started early because my brain hates me! Did some prep work for the shelf that is going over the window in my room at some point soon, but lack of parts (6 x 1½ screws to be precise) stopped play so I have ordered some & play will resume when they arrive. My ADHD side was dominant today so I flitted between minor tasks for much of the day but managed to get some time on the PS5 too. Nuked lasagne for tea - Mrs S wanted...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 983 , Tuesday 07/07/2026 Another quiet day here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire, the calm before the heatwave that is set to engulf us over the next week or so! Final Thoughts. I managed to do nothing that I planned to (over & above my chores) today, spoons gently melting away in the heat!

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 982 , Monday 06/07/2026 Monday is a gym day so up early, down the gym by 7am & then stumble home 45 minutes later telling myself that it’s all in a good cause! I seem to have done something to my knee, my left kneecap keeps complaining when I come downstairs! Hopefully a day of rest will get it back into working order! Not much else to report for today. It’s been a somewhat overcast day but quite warm so not too bad - looks like we are in for a hot few da...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 978 , Thursday 02/07/2026 Heck I completely missed that we have moved into July! Not that my brain is terminally fried or anything! Up at 06:30 & then a day filled with chores, meal prep & Starfield. I did also fit a hydraulic door closer to the bathroom door. We have had a spring loaded one on for ages to stop the moggy varmints getting in (because me n Mrs S had a habit of leaving the door open) & drinking out of the shower basin … not the health...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 977 , Wednesday 01/07/2026 Wednesday started early, as gym days do. Not a bad gym session, up to 130lbs(?) on the leg press, I started on 90 so happy with that progress! Got home & after doing the main chores settled down for some breakfast. Sophie mog has discovered that if she waits for the sound of me finishing my coffee then there is a high chance of a brush. That cat is utterly brush addicted! We had at least 3 brush sessions a day! Spent the aft...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 975 , Monday 29/06/2026 Monday started at around 6am as it is a gym day. Not a bad gym session, pushed past the 5.7km/h barrier I’ve been struggling with on the treadmill so that was encouraging. Did a little gardening after breakfast & chores then some exploring in Starfield. We had a Costco™ trip late this afternoon … heck stuff is so expensive now. Had a naughty takeaway for tea, we were originally going to have tea at Costco™ but it was literally stan...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 924 , Saturday 09/05/2026 Saturday has been a quiet day. The high point was a chinese takeaway for tea! Final Thoughts. Well that’s another day done.

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 926 , Monday 11/05/2026 Up at crack of sparrows fart to go to the gym. I discovered a key safety tip today, using one of the weight machines, that has different handles that attach via a carabiner clip, one of the ones that is just spring loaded not the ones that you have to unscrew. I wear a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms- which fasten with a string - to the gym & normally have the t-shirt hanging over the tracksuit bottoms but today I tucked them in....

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 927 , Tuesday 12/05/2026 Well today has sped by, I’m not entirely sure where! Finally got around to watching the celebration of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday … I feel that he is one of defining people in my life (as he is in so many others!). The world is, as others have said, a far better place with him in it! Final Thoughts. The week is getting away from me, for some reason I thought it was Monday today! Thank you to all those who are helping...

  Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 928 , Wednesday 13/05/2026 Up early & down the gym this morning, managed to get my regular routine in thankfully! Breakfast then chores were followed by a romp around the Milky Way. I put in an hour in the box room - doing some sanding. It has been on hold awaiting the decorator, but he is still talking about June so I’m toying with the idea of just doing it myself - despite the fact that I am very bad at paintwork & not much better at hanging...
