Diary of an AuDHD Squirrel. Day 1052 , Monday 14/09/2026
Monday started early - as Mondays do.
Down the gym, took it a bit easier today because I had a few worrying twinges in my chest over the weekend, I think I may have pushed the envelope a bit too far last week.
Daily chores & breakfast when I got home.
I decided to pull up my big boys trousers around 10ish & called TWAM’s head office - where a very nice lady gave me lots of excuses & gave me the contact numbers of their local collectors.
While I was on a roll I called the first on the list who was not at home, but the 2nd attempt was far more successful & a meet was arranged for 11:30.
Leapt semi athletically into the car & got may ass across to my late MiLs.
Long story short tools are donated & another task is ticked off dealing with my MiL’s estate!
Got home & after lunch I tackled cleaning the washing machine as we had enough sunshine to provide the power for the cleaning cycle.
Finally relaxed around 2pm & hit the PS5.
Quiche & salad for tea with the last of the strawberries with a dollop of ice cream!
Final Thoughts.
Not a bad day at all, I hate using the phone & it takes a lot to place a call. Also not overly happy with dealing with strangers. But needs must & I am really pleased that I faced the dial tone demons & that my FiL’s tools will now have a 2nd lease of life!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖

@Tim_McTuffty@beige.party @autistics@fedigroups.social Phones calls. The bane for many of us. Well done you, 🎉 🥳

@Tim_McTuffty@beige.party @autistics@fedigroups.social 🎉 Fab work there 🥳. I know exactly what you mean about making calls & dealing with strangers. It's the same here. Hope you got to unwind in suitable / necessary fashion after the task was finally done?

@Tim_McTuffty@beige.party @autistics@fedigroups.social I share the aversion to phone calls and strangers. I would have put that off for weeks, so congratulations on getting it handled.
