An entire day spent uploading sound libraries I had already uploaded (but to the wrong place).

Happy Friday! I hope you get to do some side quests this weekend!

I wanted to post this for my #ADHDers and the #NeurodiverseSquad at large. These are low- to no-effort nutrition tips that I have accumulated over the years for "no spoons" days:

* There are a ton of veggies you can eat with no preparation at all. Baby carrots, snap peas, cucumber, grape/snacking tomatoes, mini bell peppers (the red ones are sweet and you can bite into them like an apple), romaine/leafy green lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, canned bamboo shoots/menma, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and a bunch more.

* Sardines. They are a great protein source and so damn nutrient-dense. All you have to do is pull the top off the can.

* Sprouts can be added to sooo many things. They're barely noticeable and they pack in a lot of extra nutrients. I like alfalfa sprouts, but there are also clover sprouts, broccoli sprouts, and others--and they're all super good for you. I put them on sandwiches, mix them into salads, wtv.

* Plain avocado oil is a fine salad dressing that's also a great source for healthy fat with Omega-3s. It's also good on rice, potatoes, or anything you'd put butter on.

* Oatmeal is a great healthy carb. Just get some instant oats and add water. Microwave or use an electric kettle. You can add some fruit and honey to make it sweet, you can add chocolate protein powder and peanut butter to make it decadent, you can throw sautéed mushrooms and chives in it and put a fried egg on top to make it savory.

* Peanut butter is my JAM, but almond butter is arguably better for you. Just find a nut butter with as few ingredients as possible on the label, but ideally one that is no stir. Eat it with a spoon, put it on bread, put it on apple slices, put it on put it on whatever. It can be high sodium, but if you're having trouble getting enough calories or enough protein: peanut butter.

* Are you having lots of no spoons days? Depression slump? Chronic illness? Let me introduce you to Tray™. Just get a normal tray, ideally with hand-holdy bits. Reserve a shelf in your fridge for it, and load a variety of foods onto it. Maybe some lunch meat, cheese, a bit of dark chocolate, whatever you want. Just put a bunch of zero-effort foods, then when you are hungry, remove Tray™, eat stuff off of it, return Tray™ to fridge. Just make sure to restock it every week.

* If you have the means, look into Instant Pots. Especially the ones with the air fryer. You can bake potatoes, make hardboiled eggs, rice, broth, and all kinds of basics really easily. There are also a bajillion hands-off, one-pot recipes that you can make with it. Dump some stuff in, put on the lid, press a couple buttons, wait a few minutes--dinner's ready. It takes so much time, thought, and energy out of cooking.

* Easy portions: your plate = 50% veggie, 25% lean protein, 25% complex carb. Add a Tbsp or two worth of healthy fat onto that.

I hope this helps! Please feel free to comment any tips you've picked up.

Each new day brings with it another reminder that everything I do is an ADHD trait.

Any #NeuroDivergent #ADHD women or #Autistic women who have skin/pressure sensitivities? I'm having SUCH a hard time finding a comfortable bralette, b/c they all squeeze my rib cage too much. And this despite trying mutliple sizes and despite reviewers on websites promising things like "OMG it's so comfortable I can SLEEP in it."

Nope! I've tried SO MANY and they all squeeze me in a way I find intolerable.

Hair Washing Saga

Day 1: Soft and fluffy, but frizzy

Day 2: Ooh, looking good! Maybe take selfie to commemorate this momentous occasion...?

Day 3: Hair in bun, but still kind of cute. Defo wash soon, tho

Day 4: GIRL U WAITED TOO LONG. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?!

I've been off work for two weeks. The imposter syndrome is reminding me that on Monday I'll log in to find that while I was away, they have worked out that I'm full of shit and know nothing.

If you’re #neurodiverse…

You’re NOT Broken…Just Beautifully Different

The anxiety and stress of writing a long email, and then the frustration of not being able to move on and work on music. Instead I just ruminate on the email and worry that I didn't communicate clearly enough.

I can’t wait to dig into this

“We’re NOT broken…just beautifully different!” - Me
