a productive day, really

[redbird]

I ran out of executive function about 5:30 (though a cup of tea was restorative) and was thinking that I hadn't done much today.

Then I started inventorying things out loud:

• ordered a new pair of walking shoes. This involved calling both local REI storeto see if they had the shoes I wanted in stock. Neither did, and when I looked at the REI website I saw that REI doesn't carry the size I need, so I ordered from Zappo's/Amazon
• proofread an article for Queue
• a bunch of PT exercises, including upper-body exercises I hadn't done in more than a week
• had my Ritalin delivered, which was easy because I'm now getting it from Capsule pharmacy, which texts to let me know when it's time to (re)fill a prescription
• rescheduled a doctor's appointment: the doctor's office called to say she's going to be out of the office for November and December, and offered the choice of rescheduling in January, or seeing a different doctor sooner.
• dishes, including washing the big frying pan twice, once so @cattitude could make pasta sauce, and the second time so he could cook dumplings for tonight's dinner
• looked something up online for my mother

That's a bunch of things.

Woot!

I find (written) inventories immensely useful, because my brain is super prone to erasing any notion of accomplishment. I’m glad doing one helped you.

I like that way of looking at it: "ran out of executive function". Because it is a finite resource, isn't it? Renewable, but not unlimited.

Reminds me of when my kids were babies, and we would say, "Oh, she ran out of happies."
