I accidentally doubled up on my ADHD medicine and I feel like I’m going to pass out. That’s how I know I actually have ADHD. Too much stimulant medication makes me feel super sleepy. Meanwhile a mate of mine got one from his partner and took it at a festival and was absolutely shitfaced the whole day. Brains are weird.
hmmm, speed and md used to put me to sleep.
Couldn’t hurt to get checked out. It changed my life completely.
It sounds like it could hurt a few grand. It’s on my list to check, but my hernia is taking priority at the moment.
Cost me $250. Plus the GP appointment for the referral. But it might have gotten more expensive since 2021
I’ve been meaning to look into it too. I did an executive functioning assessment with an OT and got “moderately/markedly atypical” in most of the areas. No wonder coffee doesn’t do much for me (even though it tastes nice)
Dexys?
Yup. I take 2 every 4-5 hours. Tried the long release one, but it didn’t work for me. It seemed to all release in the one go.
There’s 2 kinds?
Yeah there’s one where you only have to take 1 tablet a day called Vyvanse. It’s a pain in the ass to organise your life in 5 hour blocks.
I’ve always got a small tin of tablets on me at work so I can duck out to the bathroom and take 2 even if I’m in a meeting.
Not OP, but chiming in re: the slow release…I’m on 70mg Vyvanse which seems to keep me going throughout the day. I asked the doc about Dexys and he said I shouldn’t need them for a top up
First of all, good to hear from ya! Second, North won a game, yay. Third, if someone, hypothetically offered Vyvanse to me would that have the same effect as dex? Like as in the motivation mode? 😉
For a normal person, you’d be pretty amped up. For ADHD you’d be really chilled out.
Interesting.
Ah the stress of seeing family tomorrow has given me a headache. Definitely not the coffees I’ve had, no no.
You know you are gonna have a great day tomorrow celebrating your joint birthdays. Lots of love ♥
Try not to stress. Just turn up and go with the flow and enjoy the company of those you wish to be with.
Hopefully it’s as simple as that.
Sad news is we only have a dozen beers between us 😔 Good news is I have a cupboard full of booze 😀
Just back from the shops… it really felt like everyone there was…
Days like this I wish I had a house with a wood fire. The crackle sounds and warm glow are a cure for winter cold and sads.
The bnbs I stay at must have a fireplace and a spa bath or no deal.
Cleaning out the ash & cinders the next day is the downside of a wood fire. My EBrunswick house was heated with a slow combustion wood heater - dealt with all too many ashes over the years. The good side of that is I always had wood ash on hand for the garden. I actually miss that part of the deal. I don’t miss stacking the wood chunks though and keeping them dry and ready to use.
In my ideal house there would be regular heating plus a wood heater. Wood heater for night when I want to put effort in and regular heating for the rest of the time. I want the mod cons and the cake.
We run the split system on the cold mornings when we’re heading out for the day, then I light the fire when I get home. It warms the house up nicely, and is a great way to get clothes dry in front of. When I have a day off I’ll keep it ticking over all day and it’s lovely. It is a lot of work and mess though, and we are very lucky because we don’t have to pay for good wood.
Yeah, I’m glad to be done with that, I must say. (The ashes. Oh my God, the ashes.)
It’s alot of work, but the heat is lovely.
It’s the smell for me. Sometimes I like to go and drive out to regional victoria on the coldest days just to smell the wood fire smell in the air mmm
try Carlton , lots of wood fires here
You need a good recliner or rocking chair and you’ll be set.
Happy to share mine. You have to help split the wood though.

Sad news is my microphone ran out of charge 😔 Good news is the man has so many cords, power banks and nerdy shit that it’ll be up and running in no time 😀
Is the good news actually sad news for the neighbours… hrmm…
I have not had any complaints nor requests 🤷♀️
Yell out if you need spares lol
Hahaha. It’s all good, mate. Tell me what you got in there? What’s ya favourite? What’s ya most helpful or used?
I have at least 5-10 of every type of USB cable. Plus any cables for monitors and TVs.
Guitar and microphone cables.
Bunch of spare USB sticks and USB hard drives and about 2 dozen wireless mice.
Favorite is USB C to USB C. Constantly need it for music equipment.
This collection has taken about 7 years, and it’s still growing!
He loves cables but this his favourite nerd toy
Fuck yeah that’s cool. Always wanted a proper one but ended up with a soundbar for now.
Meh, another night of crap sleep. Also, too many carbs for a few days… My guts is not happy.
Otherwise, Friyay!
There’s a cake with candles icon on your name. Happy cake day!
There is? I can’t see it!
Happy cake day! What flavor is yours?
Short-staffed at work because people sick. People also sick at home. People sick everywhere 🤧 Holding sickness at bay with Bioceuticals Armaforce, Tolak Angin Flu sachets, and maybe my A– blood type. A special shout out to all of you who are under the weather. May you be back to your usual sunny selves soon!
Edit: also still wearing a mask on buses. They are really stinky sometimes and people coughing all over the place! Between people who smell like they’ve been cooking in their bedrooms and people who’ve been sleeping in their clothes for a month I am over it!
Wearing a mask all day, it really sucks
Every day I give my little dog a new nickname. Today it’s Viper. Yesterday it was Cupcakes.
Happy cake day! What flavor is yours? Mine is lemon.
Thanks, you too. Mine is Bavarian cake that is currently waiting for me in the freezer.
Tomorrow my fam is having our birthday bash for the April/May birthdays. But late, but only because trying to get 30+ people’s schedules to line up is worse than trying to herd cats.
Looking forward to seeing my grandparents. They’re getting on in years and have started arrangements for their eventual passing away. It freaks me out some, but trying not to think too hard on it because there will be a time for that later on. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow is a celebration
I have Monday and Tuesday booked off for a break. I do believe I will take today off sick as well
Noice!
Playing the Archthrones mod for dark souls 3 and these fellas have nailed it. Give them the keys to make dark souls 4
I gotta say… as someone who often feels like an outsider it’s kind of nice that everyone else is sick when I am too. I feel like I’m a part of something.
Yeah nah… I’m not sick but happy to be an outsider!
Team lurgy checking in
I feel like an outcast, I got sick about 3 or 4 weeks ago and now I’m fine but I don’t want to catch anything again for the next month if I can help it.
One of us! One of us! :D
Today was going to be the day I washed my oodie. But no. Today is for wearing oodies. Also - can you get away with tumble drying a (cheap rip-off) oodie? I’m not worried so much about losing fluffyness, more that I will set the laundromat on fire from the hot synthetic fabric…
I nearly broke my washing machine trying to wash the oddie in it.
When it’s soaked with water it’s so unbelievably heavy that it unbalanced my washing machine which is a top loader.
My Front loader has managed it before I think - I usually give it two spins too to get the extra water out of it
I’d say look for a warm or gentle setting on the dryer, and check it every 30 mins or so. Synthetic dries quickly.
I reckon you could do it. Laundromat dryers are a little more robust than your home variety.
You could semi dry it at home and finish it off at the laundromat if you’re worried.
yeah that’s what I was thinking
I half dry my oodie in the dryer and half on a drying rack. Takes ages for the cuffs to dry.
i just realised I made lunch to take in to work yesterday and completely forgot about it. I was even annoyed at myself yesterday morning that I didn’t plan ahead and took in soup instead. I have so many things on my mind at the moment some of them are starting to fall out!
