Me:
I'm going to run out and pick up some groceries, and run some errands, maybe I'll take the dogs for a walk when I get back.. I'll change my sheets and put another load of washing on, and then I have a bit of uni work to do as well..
Also me:
hmm. no.

Ist es nicht schön, dass username und password genau gleich lang sind?
Ich glaube deswegen heißt eine solche Variable bei mir auch nie user. Abgesehen davon, dass es ja auch nicht der Benutzer als solcher ist sondern nur der Name davon.
I mean, this is funny.. but also I spent my therapy session last week talking about how I think WW3 has already started.. so...
Also finding a psychologist who deals with me as an Aboriginal person living under settler colonialism has been ground breaking for my mental health. Definitely recommend.

Last night was a bad OCD night.
Did some work that I was exceedingly pleased with. Got the PR up.
But the whole time the right leg was doing its bouncy thing. And eventually it vibrated the iPad right off the table onto the carpet. And because of my OCD, I can’t use it anymore. Sigh
Then decided to go to sleep, but lost my balance, stepped someplace I couldn’t and needed to shower (again OCD). But 5 in the morning would wake up my wife. So no can do.
Had to take an unpaid day. Fuck #ocd
New instance so new intro post time:
Hi! I'm Jack (they/them). I'm a nonbinary sociology nerd with a bunch of disabilities, a bunch of tattoos, and a degree in queer research/education/history.
I mostly post about things relating to queerness, disability/mental illness, neurodivergency, and my wonderful little family (which consists of my absurdly sweet butch wife, two adorable dogs, and sassy super senior cat).
I'm always happy to find new people to interact with/befriend/add to my community on here!
and... I have *still* not found a way to end an intro post that doesn’t feel super awkward so I'm just stick with having these tiny queer cats dance me out 
The letters in #OCD are not in the alphabetical order.
Before I learned how to manage my #OCD tendencies better -> I'd avoid visiting anyone's homes when under heavy OCD kicks. I wasn't able to stop myself from trying to clean & organize other people's homes. I had a severe tendency to clean/organize everything, anywhere I went, when hard OCD kicks came in. In past, I've gone out & organized multiple little free libraries, in alphabetical orders, cleaned up 6 sheds that are not mine, folded laundry that wasn't mine or my family's for 4 hours, sorted whites from colours at laundromats(from baskets that weren't mine), organized items at grocery stores when they weren't all lined up properly, fixed messy posters on public bulletin boards....to name a few things that I no longer do.
Due to my #ADHD - I sometimes let messes pile up for a short time & then #OCD kicks in hard. This happens more often when I'm very stressed out & am feeling burned out. I will clean all day & night, until things are 'perfect' for me. I'll likely be up until middle of the night today, cleaning & organizing.
I tend to do 1-2 hour spurts of intense cleaning/organizing with several food & body stretching breaks in between. This is how I've learned to manage myself when my OCD kicks in hard. Before learning how to manage myself better, I'd go full tilt with cleaning & organizing for hours without eating. That was not good for my well-being. So, I spent a lot of time learning how to do things a bit differently so I don't burn myself out in one day with my OCD kicks.
I don't work again til Friday so it's OK if I don't get to sleep until almost morning.

today with the help of some new elastic clips, i redid the fabric covers on our sofa. i am trying out using a set each of 2 long elastics and 4 short ones for both the seat and backrest. wonder how long the strips will retain their stretch for, and whether the covers will continue looking neat? :p
