Have decided that "random jottings" title was a bit misleading os here is a take 2
I wrote on the Getting stuff done thread....
With hindsight I should ahve realised yesterday was going to be difficult day. OH was away on work and would be getting home around 7:45 (turned out to be 8). Had the food ready too soon and I was getting hungry. I meant to do a couple of interesting salads plus some cold meat so if need be I could have had some food before she got home. But something blocked me over that. I have specific out of the house on Wed and didnt have the eneryg to do something myself. I should(could) [1] have done at least one of the salads before lunch then gone out to a library or a longer walk. But I didnt - ended up procrastinating all day.
The salads I could have made involved looking at recipe and going out and buying stuff. Which I couldnt be bothered to do.
Going to park was a great idea (and Dr is on way to park) . But the park and shops are in completely diff directions apart from a Tesco express that is pretty crap. There is another park that is not so nice that is near Sainsburies. that is cycling distance and if I go to sanisburgs I end up buying more than I can get back by bike (and forget to take a 2nd pannier !)
Take 2 - look up salad recipes and make a shopping list for tomorrow.
[1] Useful tip someone told me - if you make should statements rephrase them as could (but didnt)

Been a bit quite. Been a difficult few weeks .... here is the saga.
I have lost a lot of weight (and girth - most of my trousers are rather baggy) with no obvious reason. Everyone is pleased about this apart from my GP who decided to refer me to urgent cancer check. This has a 2 week target - we achieve 14 days + 30 mins between seeing GP and consultant. Nice to know some NICE guidelines are me! Today I had a CT scan which involved a ensuring my digestive system was emptyish (read between the lines here!). They were really nice in the hospital, came home started eating at lunchtime. But feeling I needed to stay close to a toilet. This cut out some of the activities I could do. So OH and I went for walk in the local park where there are public toilets.

Sorry Not been around here much - been really stressed and trying to avoid spending time sitting in front of a computer (or other electronic device). Added to the fact that the local library don't allow access to this site. I want to raise this with a counsellor (sorry councillor).

I wanted to communicate something simple and was convinced my OH would overload me with words if I spoke to her so I mimed it. IT WORKED. I acted it out in a very deliberate way and enjopyed doing it.
I dont hink I will sign up for a mime course though!

'Overload with words' - that's a good description - will remember that

Cheers - when I am stressed I find it hard to verbalise. If I ring a help line they fire questions at me and I get more stressed. When OH gets stressed she talks more, gets more apparently rational and logical but (in my view) hidding intuition. This leads to a conflict. If I try and escape from the situation I am accused of walking away, if I confront it I am accused of being aggressive. Can't win.....

I wish I could use the mime strategy at work, if only mine wasn't a telephony-based role!

Agree this is harder with voiceonly. In latter days of my job a lot more stuff was done by conference calls and there was one colleague who wouldnt stop talking, and no-one had a role of chair an were able to stop him. Mime is just one way of sidestepping a rut taht conversation has got into. In a face-face meeing I woiuld stand up and draw a squiggle on the white board. But then whiteboards got banned as being untidy :-(
Had a bit of nostalgia last fri. Go to a support group at our local mental health facility (not ADHD specific) and it moved into a room with a whiteboard.

Interesting day yesterday. I had been referred for physio by GP for some shoulder pain. A couple of months ago I had a fob off -we are very busy. Please confirm you still want appointment.
Yesterday got a letter asking me to ring for appointment. Before procrastination set in (hate phoning!) I decided to ring straight way. "Just looking for next appointment".. "we can do an hours time". Fell off my metaphorical chair.
Upshot - nothing specifically wrong with shoulder but suffer from general muscle tension. Been given some exercises and an appointment in 2 weeks. All I need to do is find time to do them - 3 times a day :-(
I think this explains a lot - why I find it hard to settle at activities. I was rather apprehensive before the appt that I would get a brush off - my shoulder has actually got better most of the time. In the event the therapist listened to me, gave me time to think about questions; some of them weren't black and white.
