Howdy folks! I'm new to ADHD spaces, still in the process of getting a diagnosis, but I've been doing some thinking about how I handle energy for tasks, and I was wondering if it would resonate with anyone else.

My partner and I have cats, which means we have to clean their litter box regularly. I struggle a lot with executive dysfunction, and so does she, so sometimes that's challenging. Recently though, we cat sat for a friend that had a Litter Genie. I have to say, I love this thing. We bought one immediately. It's basically just a little trashcan, but it automatically bags and stores dirty litter to be disposed of later.

For me, this was a game changer. I don't know why, but not having to deal with throwing out the litter at the same time makes it so much easier. Individually, cleaning the litter boxes, and taking out the trash, are easy, one spoon tasks. But only with the Litter Genie. If I have to worry about taking out the trash too, it becomes so much more than just one spoon more expensive. That's what made me think of sporks.

Because throwing away the cat litter after cleaning the litter box is really nothing. It's just the fact that I have to think about it that makes it harder. It's the complexity, not the amount, so it's not more spoons really, it's a different spoon, a spork. I think I'm going to start using this terminology with my partner. When discussing chores, we'll be able to mention spork tasks, for things we might need a little help with, or that we could use some brainstorming on how to tackle.

Do you have any simple things that feel like sporks to you? If so, do you have ways you break them down to make them easier? I'd especially love something for dishes lol

A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

How about you?

This is a personal creation, so I apologize if the name is already taken.

*1.5oz gin *1oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro *.75oz honey syrup *.5oz lemon juice

Shaken and served with an expressed lemon peel, and a dash of Hummingbird Bitters

They're both also green

More Expanse crossovers? Yes please!

It must be hard to eclipse the Equinox

Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists

• 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
• .75oz Cinnamon syrup
• .75oz Lime juice
• .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
• .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
• 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)

Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor
