July was a crazy month. I went to my sisters in Regina for my nieces birthday. Went early to help set up n clean. Went on July 3rd then was asked to stay for another 2 weeks to take care of their cats while on holidays but it was clear she wanted me to clean her house lol. She has 1 kid but enough toys for 20 n keeps on buying more. N a big house n enough of everything to fill 4 houses n buys more,she always buys 2 or 3 of everything Lol she has ADHD n refuses to take meds for it. So thats the cause of that lol. Anyway. Her one cat dislocated her paw so bad I had to get her mother in law who is extremely overbearing to take her to the vet. I found her after hours of looking for the cat in a compost heep. N when I lifted her I didnt realize she was hurt n i must of hurt her cuz she attacked me n left a huge bruise on my arm when she bit me on the arm n the big purple bruise is still there barely but still there after like 2 weeks. I had to get a tetanus shot n antibiotic horse pills for 7 days but the cat had a splint on her hind leg n she couldnt do much at all so I babied her to the max. So i cleaned my sisters entire house spotless. The second they got home it was less then an hour n the house looked like a tornado hit it n it was just as messy it was nuts but anyway. I had to stay there an extra week so I could care for the cat while they worked. I was basically walking behind them all day n night cleaning after them cuz they dont clean anything or even put dirty dishes in the sink. I got tired of that real quick n had a few arguments with my sister. Now we have to wait until August 17th to get her leg amputated. So i came back home yesterday to my house in just as much of a disaster cuz my adult daughter with autism took care of my cats well but barely cleaned. So for 2 hours before I left regina my sister asked me to help.her clean n do her didhes again, so I did then i had a 3 hour break for the ride home to come home to need to clean another 3 hours lol it was nuts. In 2 more weeks ill need to go back n do the same n clean n take care of the cat who will be so drugged up again for a week then come back home to probably a mess again. But ill try to set it up so its easier for my daughter this time around with lists n reminders.

Hey everyone, Jim here. Three things announced today. 1. The next 5-Day Challenge kicks off August 31: Free, live, and rebuilt from the ground up. This is the best version we've ever run. Save your spot here. Then do the part that actually decides whether you show up. Open your own calendar, block the hour on all five days, and set two reminders. For brains like ours, if it's not in the calendar it doesn't exist. Do it now, while this post is still on your screen. It takes two minutes. 2. Still finishing something something? You have until July 20 ⚠️ If you're working through the ADHD Focus Reset or the current 5-Day Challenge, they stay open through Monday July 20. After that everything closes until August 31. 3. New onboarding, and a new AI experience: The ADHD Operating Manual. The first section is free for every member, so you can try it before you decide. The full version is $27 right now instead of $99. Temporary. And that $27 is one single payment, no subscription. It also opens the chat with my AI twin: three messages a day, every day, all the way until the challenge starts on August 31. Ask it why you keep doing that one thing, and it answers with everything it already knows about you from your own reports. So tell me where you're at. Vote in the poll, it takes one tap. And if you're coming August 31, type a comment below and include the word: CHALLENGE and let us know how excited you are 🥳 With love, 💛 Jim

Will you join us live for the kick-off? This is a NEW free challenge. Let me know in the comments! The calendar show the kick-off in your timezone. And for those interested in the paid 6 week program. The doors are now open: https://go.adhdharmony.com/ Hope to see you tomorrow live! 💛 Jim

Now that the day is almost over, I would say it's been quite smooth (also, a bit less madness than other days, in the retirement house where I usually work on Wednesday afternoon).

I mentioned before that I'm about to start medication for my ADHD. Does anyone have experience with medication and could offer advice? I'd also appreciate it if someone with ADHD and related addiction could share their experiences and advice. I really need it. Thank you all so much.
