Hyperfixation WIN!!

I know y’all get it: that sweet, sweet dopamine kick when you actually go down a rabbit trail, the planets actuator align, and your hyperfixation pays off! The ADHD gods gave this moose a damn cookie, and the fallout was actually awesome:

I FINALLY went grocery shopping (after nearly 2 months of avoiding everything but an occasional run for milk or bread) and restocked on a ton of pantry items and staple ingredients.

But I scored so many deals, I didn’t have a place to put things in our pantry…which has been a disaster for years, anyways. It’s SO deep that it actually kinda sucks as a pantry for me, because I literally can’t see 2/3rds of what fits in there.

So, I had the inspiration to, ya know

rearrange the whole goddam kitchen. 😈

And I DID!

Before my first appointment, I destroyed the kitchen, pulling everything out of the pantry and everything out of the cupboards. After that, before leaving for my afternoon gig, I started switching it all, while also sorting through years of “Oh my god, why do I have 3 expired bags of this??”

After work, everyone was in bed, and I was just giving to a great podcast. So I finished the great pantry/cupboard swap.

And then I unloaded the dishwasher.

And then I did the dishes.

And then I scrubbed the counter tops and stove.

And then I sorted 3 baskets of laundry and folded and put away all of the linens.

And then I gathered everyone else’s crap from the common spaces and sorted them into laundry baskets, which I then labeled so the guys could tend to it in the morning.

And then I dusted, and folded blankets, and made tea, and put the living spaces totally back in order, and did my PT, and took my meds, and spent time on the foam roller to release my back, and then went to bed and slept.

And our home is TOTALLY reset AND improved!! I can now easily access and SEE every food item with zero digging required. Now all of our appliances and cookware and such are in a space that reasonably fits them, and the stuff hiding in the back are random things we only need every 6-12 months anyway!

I’m tired today, but so happy.

TL;DR I went on a solo reorganizing/cleaning rampage for hours last night, and it felt SO GOOD.

What’s a recent hyperfixation win for you?? What happened the last time all your planets aligned and the universe gave you some sort of cookie???
