x pinterest email other apps january 07 2026 in which douglas proves he s not a boomer i ve been rethinking my engagement with ai recently i m too eager to be an unpaid beta tester for these guys companies that have invested billions into ai will gaslight us all day about how imperative ai tools should be in our lives they ll force us to deal with their ai replace perfectly useful services with ai and cram ai down our throats every time we turn around microsoft 365 copilot i m looking at you so what good is ai judging by how much trouble it gives me i d be tempted to say not much chatgpt once formatted css tables so poorly for me that i spent longer fighting with it than i did just coding them myself grok often hallucinates answers gaslights me until i call it out then it apologizes and gives me the information that i wanted just tonight i asked siri how many kids ronald reagan had and what were their names since his oldest son passed away today and it told me five but

allow me my silly moments i ve decided to think dramatically about my obstacles in my first attempt to blog about my new condition with a sense of humor honestly there hasn t been much to laugh at for example i got distracted playing chess on duolingo the other day and gave myself post exertional malaise pem first i noticed the headache then i noticed that i was panting and then i realized that i was dizzy it was just chess but i lost track of time got caught up in it and overtaxed my brain stamina spent crash incoming an entire day wasted it s hard to laugh about things like that i had big plans to implement instead i watched tv until that gave me a headache too every day i have lists but i rarely make it to the end of them because of the drain cognitive physical and even emotional events have on my stamina levels chronic fatigue is complicated that s whe continue reading a moment of sunlight get link facebook x pinterest email other apps september 19 2025 yesterday was conquered by fatigue and tourettes i didn t get much accomplished aside from taking care of my daughter which left me feeling a tad discouraged since i had just written in my journal before going to sleep about what an awesome day it was going to be still all was not bad for example dealing with my daughter is a joy as it gives my life purpose there was something else that brought a smile to my stressed out face however my daughter is autistic and learning disabled and we work with a service that provides in home therapy they teach her coping and life skills today she had a new therapist there is an uncomfortable period as you can imagine when a stranger enters one s home but we re used to this routine so we make jokes and idle chitchat as we try to quickly establish a professional rapport i was fully present for a while but then i began a tourettes episode and retired to my room to wait it out in private later my daughter barg continue reading the car wreck of my life has a name get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 23 2025 since the pandemic i have discovered something harder to deal with than tourettes it challenges my efforts to be upbeat and optimistic and has given me very little to laugh about i manage my adhd depression just fine or should i say i deal with them just fine they represent road bumps that cause me to slow down but then i get back up to speed my tourettes acts more like an ied that blows up my schedule it takes a bit more effort and time to recover from but i always get moving forward again post viral dysautonomia as i ve been recently diagnosed with has been more like a head on collision with demolition charges for the past four years taking out both the car and the roads it leaves me exhausted susceptible to illness and with oxygen saturation that routinely drops below 88 recently i had a setback in my efforts to overcome dysautonomia it was just back surgery i had a cyst removed nothing drastic it was day surgery i laughed and chatted wi continue reading setting a new stage get link facebook x pinterest email other apps august 18 2025 i ve come to the decision that i need to blog again i ve filled over a dozen journals in the past two years but i find myself stagnating despite all the wonderful conversations i ve had with myself when your voice is the only one you hear you have nothing but an echo chamber even if the echoes sound insightful i ll still journal but i feel i m ready to look outside of myself again as i used to do returning to a weekly schedule might be a bit much at this time but i ll do my best it s a good goal to work towards to start i ve chosen a new blog template nothing fancy only the best prefab templates for me i d rather put my efforts into writing than coding though i imagine i won t be able to help myself over time now if only i could figure out why comments aren t working they ve been mia for years dˢ continue reading traveler s notebook distractions and adhd ebay blunders get link facebook x pinterest email other apps october 02 2024 i joined the midori traveler s notebook tn club this past summer i missed the big blogging heyday about them around 2012 to 2015 when the internet seem to explode over this nifty little notebook system but i was all about digital back then i loved my iphone and didn t feel a need to go analog recently though i noticed some artists doing inspiring things in their tns and i thought this could be the kick in the pants i needed to fit sketching back into my life i started small with one notebook insert with a leather cover only when i noted that i was actually using it i invested in more inserts the only feature it was missing for me was a todo list insert but nobody made one and thus i began my journey yesterday into diy notebook hell with adhd as my guide i boldly discovered blog after blog of incredibly ornate notebook inserts that people made for themselves because the official ones were just too
