Today's executive dysfunction resulted in purchasing two side tables to better fit current needs. (Two totally different tables for different rooms. I feel like I was Extra Dysfunctionally Productive.)

I watched a hockey tonight and the goalie scored. I think this means I have to watch the rest of the season.

Like many a television series, my day yesterday started strong, but fell apart in the back half. Let's see if we can make today go better!

“All right,” she said, and looked at me for what objectively I knew was 2.4 seconds and subjectively about twenty excruciating minutes.

The other day a toddler saw me in a store wearing a mask and proclaimed I am a doctor. Who knew it was that easy?

Juggling my 8ish jobs was hitting a struggle so I'm trying a physical to-do list to help satisfy the ADHD half of my brain. The deadline list is still in other places, but hoping this can help day to day with focus and decision fatigue.

Thanks to @dmbeucler.bsky.social for a great workshop about writing neurodivergent characters and how that ND behavior can move (and hinder) the plot. #Flights2026

My cat is in my lap, which is rare enough to note, but also extremely appreciated because she did not forget me nor hold a grudge that I was away for a week at DragonCon.

Another DragonCon in the books! This year was hotter than ever, which encouraged me to reduce my schedule. I know I missed some amazing panels, but considering I was *on* 10 amazing panels, I'm calling that even.

Well, the DragonCon badge pickup up is a new experience. And since this is #24 for me, that's saying something.
On the plus side, I'm getting my steps and am in air conditioning.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

What the fucking fuck.
I know someone whose college art history teacher requires not citations but a list of prompts students used for papers. She wrote a regular paper with just citations and he sent it back requiring prompts, so she made some up.
