On zero thyroxine, but I fit all the symptoms for adult ADD – so I’m probably hyper. Trouble is, I’ve been working inefficiently and under pressure, so working long hours, getting minimal sleep, sleeping over in the office, eating badly, not getting enough exercise, haven’t been able to get away to get a blood test, so I don’t know where my thyroid levels are, and generally not coping. no chance of a holiday, but lately i’ve been making a point to take at least one day of the weekend to do washing & house stuff. i think that helps a bit.

How I did it: Came up with a coding that might be better than the trad Inca coding. Made lots of knots. Found that there are limitations on distance between knots depending on knot type. Got bored with making knots. There are many other uses for a ball of string. Maybe I'll get inspired and try again some day. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Bread in the freezer at work, sandwich stuff in the fridge topped up every week, bring fruit every couple of days. Easy. Also means there's food about if I'm working late. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The regular radio show I do is themed each week, so there's sort of a doconess there, but a little more research went into the Muslimgauze one, so it's almost a documentary. In the end most of what I said about him came from the wiki page, so that's kind of cheating. Near enough for now I think. Read how I did it…

I’ve stopped taking thyroxine altogether and I still feel jittery, scattered and distracted – and I’m not randomly dropping off to sleep. Will be interesting to see what the next blood test shows.
stumbled into the possibility of taking a share of the house I’m living in – so putting off buying a car for a few months to plough some money in to this house deal. I have to be a bit smart to get into this with good conditions and risks so I can get out relatively soon with a reasonable profit, and not have it just become a big albatross. I should be able to save at the same rate and soon have enough to start investing in more things – starting easy with index funds, and moving on to shares &c later.
