Good evening Squirrel Fans. I have felt like this for the last 12 months at least! :- “He felt that the last couple of hours had somehow carried him along without him actually touching the sides, and for a moment he nursed the strangely consoling feeling that his life was totally beyond his control and whatever happened no one could blame him.” ― Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites Right off for a couple of hours adventuring around the Starfield galaxy (one of the achievements is apparently to visit every system, so I best get my skates on!) Catch you super fab folk on the morrow! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖 #WeirdFolks #SquirrelsOfMastodon #TheMammutMoves For today’s diary update please follow #TimsASDjourney

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 their wisdom, have take all but 3 of the tables with seats out & replaced them with standing tables. I HATE eating at standing tables but luckily we managed to snag one of the 3 with seats. These are the 2 x 2 seater benches with the table in between type. I had just settled in to wait while Mrs S ordered our tea when some strange woman just sat down opposite me - no please / thank you / do you mind, she just brazenly nicked Mrs S’s seat - I protested about this so she moved down the bench saying something about sharing. Now I have a thing about personal space & a bigger thing about people with no manners! But what could I do - I could not in all conscience tell her to leave because there were, undeniably 2 empty seats at the table. It completely spoilt my tea though. I think that we will pay extra net time & go to an eatery where there are enough tables for all the diners! Then having to traipse around the store & endure all the people almost finished me off. Final Thoughts. The trip to Costco™ really frazzled me, at this point I am not sure if I’ll be going to the gym in the morning, I’m not sure I can cope with being in close proximity to people. That sounds wimpish & weak & hopefully after a nights sleep I will feel differently. 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 #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

Good evening Squirrel Fans. I feel that yesterday had a very pineappley texture … I’m still waiting for the peaches! :- “What you had to do in this life was get past the pineapple. It was big and sharp and knobbly, but there might be peaches underneath” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal Right off to confront a General about a series of suspicious events!

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 & a set of long handled loppers to tackle the job & the hawthorn was not for giving in easily as the many scratches on my arms attest! My entire body now hates me, but at least the job is done! I was treated to a chinese takeaway this evening for my efforts so that was nice! It went well with an episode of Cadfael! Final Thoughts. A much, much busier day than I at first envisioned but the front garden looks better, although I need to get out there & tackle the runaway wild strawberries next! 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 #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

Good evening Squirrel Fans. In wandering thru L-Space I came upon this quote & on a chaotic whim decided to share it :- The trouble was that ignorance became more interesting, especially big fascinating ignorance about huge and important things like matter and creation, and people stopped patiently building their little houses of rational sticks in the chaos of the universe and started getting interested in the chaos itself - partly because it was a lot easier to be an expert in chaos, but mostly because it made really good patterns that you could put on a t-shirt.” ― Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad Ok so off to find a robot to help in the current quest! :- Catch you marvellous mob on the morrow! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖 #WeirdFolks #SquirrelsOfMastodon #TheMammutMoves For today’s diary update please follow #TimsASDjourney

#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 ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 @autistics@fedigroups.social #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

Good evening Squirrel Fans. As the school summer holidays are imminent here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire, this quote seems moderately appropriate :- “On nights such as this, witches are abroad. Well, not actually abroad. They don’t like the food and you can’t trust the water and the shamans always hog the deckchairs.” Terry Pratchett — Wyrd Sisters Right off to see a man about a team of retired xenobiologists .. not a sentence I thought I would be typing 24 hours ago!

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! I have made a start, but it will take at least 2 more trips to finish the job I think! We stopped off at Sainsgogs for a late lunch - their meal deal was just what we needed, quick but filling. Then home. Relaxed this afternoon finishing the latest series of ‘For all Mankind’. I do like that show. Salad & roast chicken breasts for tea with strawberries & ice cream for pud while we continued our journey thru the original series of ‘All Creatures Great & Small’ they really do not make TV like that any more (the new version is good but not as good as the original with Christopher Timothy! ) Final Thoughts. A busy day & looking at the garage it does not look like I have made too much progress, but progress has been made! Somehow I have to find some room for the tools I plan to keep! I also need to find a good home for those that I will never use! 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 #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

Good evening Squirrel Fans. I do like this quote which is quite enough of an excuse to accost my Peeps with it! :- “Is this a dagger I see before me?' he mumbled. 'Um. No, my lord. It's my handkerchief, you see. You can sort of tell the difference if you look closely. It doesn't have as many sharp edges.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters Right off to see if I can persuade a group of bigwigs that they need to take an existential threat seriously - if it’s anything like the real world I’ll have my work cut out for me! Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖 #WeirdFolks #SquirrelsOfMastodon #TheMammutMoves For today’s diary update please follow #TimsASDjourney

Good evening Squirrel Fans. A warning to all would be monster hunters … beware their mothers! :- Monsters are getting more uppity, too (...) I heard where this guy, he killed this monster in this lake, no problem, stuck its arm up over the door (...) and you know what? Its mum come and complained. Its actual mum come right down to the hall next day and complained. Actually complained. That's the respect you get.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards! Right I seem to have encountered a bug so will have to replay a part of or perhaps all the last mission … hey ho! Catch you Peeps Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖 #WeirdFolks #SquirrelsOfMastodon #TheMammutMoves For today’s diary update please follow #TimsASDjourney

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 fabulous! We had a lovely time & an uneventful trip back. They make some magnificent cakes where we had lunch & being full after the main course said cake was boxed & brought home for a very naughty early supper which we enjoyed while watching ‘Predestination’ a moderately mind bending movie but a decent watch! Final Thoughts. A really good day - it rained on us all the way home but to be fair we really, really need some rain! (For those who are curious it was a truly epic piece of fresh strawberry Victoria sponge cake!) Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways.

Good evening Squirrel Fans. Oh Wow! :- “It’s a popular fact that 90 percent of the brain is not used and, like most popular facts, it is wrong. . . . It is used. One of its functions is to make the miraculous seem ordinary, to turn the unusual into the usual. Otherwise, human beings, faced with the daily wondrousness of everything, would go around wearing a stupid grin, saying “Wow,” a lot. Part of the brain exists to stop this from happening.” ― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods Right off to test my new stealth suit out! Catch you peerless Peeps on the morrow!

Good evening Squirrel Fans. I’ve had PC’s with warrnties like this! Not for a while mind I moved to the Mac-e-verse in 2009! :- “Along with the standard computer warranty agreement which said that if the machine 1) didn't work, 2) didn't do what the expensive advertisement said, 3) electrocuted the immediate neighbourhood, 4) and in fact failed entirely to be inside the expensive box when you opened it, this was expressly, absolutely, implicitly and in no event the fault or responsibility of the manufacturer, that the purchaser should consider himself lucky to be allowed to give his money to the manufacturer, and that any attempt to treat what had just been paid for as the purchaser's own property would result in the attentions of serious men with menacing briefcases and very thin watches.” ― Terry Pratchett Right, just discovered why a mining colony failed to send their last consignment of a valuable mineral - & it was the prime suspect all along! Time to deal with the culprits me thinks! Catch you fab Peeps on the morrow!

Good evening Squirrel Fans. A good many people feel as Hwel do - which is why so many folk run afoul of their Sat nav’s! :- “The road, Hwel felt, had to go somewhere. This geographical fiction has been the death of many people. Roads don’t necessarily have to go anywhere, they just have to have somewhere to start.” ― Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters Right off to try & find a mole in the organisation … by burrowing thru the ventilation system!

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 pud. It’s amazing how far one can stretch a punnet with a bit of imagination. Final Thoughts. The weather continues to play nice & that has made today a positively pleasant day. Back to the gym in the morning - still something that needs a force of will, hopefully there will come a time where it is just habit. 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 #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

Good evening Squirrel Fans. For all those who ever wondered what exactly happened to sll their ballpoints :- “Somewhere in the cosmos, he said, along with all the planets inhabited by humanoids, reptiloids, fishoids, walking treeoids and superintelligent shades of the color blue, there was also a planet entirely given over to ballpoint life forms. And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life.” Douglas Adams — The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Right currently engaged in some industrial espionage - the things one does for specialised kit!

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 relaxed rest of the day after doing my chores. Chicken skewers & salad for tea, with, yes you guessed it, strawberries & ice-cream for dessert. Final Thoughts. Not a bad day at all. Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways.

Good evening Squirrel Fans. I need me a pair of these! :- “Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses have been specially designed to help people develop a relaxed attitude to danger. At the first hint of trouble, they turn totally black and thus prevent you from seeing anything that might alarm you.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Right off for some more exploration of the galaxy. It’s nice having a decent sized ship but I have discovered that even though there are multiple other places for the crew to be they seem to congregate on the flight deck & block the hatch!

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!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

Romeo & Juliet eat your hearts out! :-

“The disc's greatest lovers were undoubtedly Mellius and Gretelina, whose pure, passionate and soul-searing affair would have scorched the pages of History if they had not, because of some unexplained quirk of fate, been born two hundred years apart on different continents. However, the gods took pity on them and turned him into an ironing board** and her into a small brass bollard.

**When you're a god, you don't have to have reasons.” ― Terry Pratchett, Mort

Right, well I’m hot on the trail of one of the leaders of the gang I’ve been chasing for the last few days!

Catch you fab folk on the other side!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖
