I'm not gonna look up junebugs though, because I'm worried they'll be ick

• I have provisionally reassembled my diary! I still have some bits that need filling in or neatening up, but it's still progress and I will take it. I put some pictures of the disassembly on twitter, and it turns out that I have... A lot of lists. Like "Past!Susan did you really think you were going to finish all of these?" levels of lists. Is this why looking at my diary made me anxious for a while? PROBABLY YES. It's cool, it's cool, I'm going to be cutting it down, or at least just pulling specific things out so that I'm only looking at one list instead of thirteen. And I'm going to be doing some art and crafts to try to get my provisional schedule to actually be visible when I'm looking in my diary.
• I am tentatively saying that the "Give yourself one (1) goal per day and stretch goals after" is working, although I'm going to give it longer to make sure it's not just the ADHD going "Oh hey, a new thing! I love new things!" and latching on. It probably also helps that I've got my sticker collection out so I can aggressively give myself reward stickers again. It's not silly if it works, okay, sometimes you do just need to give yourself a sticker for remembering to brush your teeth or eat real food.
• Trying to narrow down a list of ten things to the three that I'm going to do first is unexpectedly difficult. Not just in a "But how do I know what I'll be in the mood for?" way, but in a "But ALL of these need doing!" way. Yes brain, but we still need to pick something to do first.
• I noticed this weekend that doing the mass lock on everything from pre-2019 means that all of my pinned posts with have also vanished, so uh, I maybe need to check they're up to date and fix that. I know for a fact that my reaction shot master list hasn't been updated in way too long, because I am forgetful, but that should be fixable!
• I'm having a very ADHD thing about tidying up my tags/unlocking posts/collecting fic drafts, in that all of them are very useful tasks, and any one of them could be really helpful if I do that one first! So untangling it enough that I can pick where to start is a little harder than I expected. Once I settle on one, it's going to be a quick job because stuff like that is fairly soothing, it's just... Picking one to start with. On the plus side, junebugging (thanks as always to
  kaiylowell for introducing the concept to me!) things continues to be great as a strategy, so if I just go "I am fixing [my pinned posts] [my fic tags] [this link round-up for Lady Business], I'll accidentally clean up a bunch of other stuff along the way! The brain ghosts giveth, and the brain ghosts taketh away, I guess.
• I was today years old when I remembered that Kobo sell manga, and thus I don't need to put up with Comixology's latest price fuckery! My understanding is that they've adjusted the UK prices to match what the price is in dollars, instead of what it would be worth converted (... I have no idea if that makes sense), which if it's true means that I need to go to America and fist-fight every comics publisher for gouging you all like this. Like, I always want to fight the American publishing industry - do not get me started on textbooks - but now I want to fight more publishers. ... In unrelated news, Kobo gave me extra super points to renew my VIP membership but won't let me renew yet because my membership hasn't expired, and so I'm going on a raid, RIP my digital tbr pile.
• (REAL TALK I have started to keep a list of all of the books and video games I acquire, and it's great! I know how big my pile of new things is! But also it's terrible! I know how big my pile of new things is!)
• So yes, I am okay, all of my humans are okay, I am slowly getting my shit back together and it feels good!
