you know.

for all that i talk about junko being super thin.

junko had a lot of eating scenes in oaei and ryoko's had all of one in oafc and keeps throwing up so maybe junko's not the super thin one here.

This is honestly one of the main things that going through therapy for my late diagnosed ADHD is teaching me. To question the structures that other people have impressed upon me as so important but that aren't working for me. So that I can figure out what actually does work for me and implement that into my life!

One example, I never really had a lot of trashcans in my house growing up. Like we had the main trashcan in the kitchen and one in our two bathrooms, and that was kinda it. And that main kitchen trash is a walk from my bedroom where I would usually work on projects or schoolwork. So while I don't like admitting it, I would leave trash scattered around my desk and easel while I was working until it had piled up and I had to take it out via Walk Of Shame™️. Growing up I was told that those tiny trashcan fill up fast and get dirty easily, so there wasn't really a reason for me to have one in my room.

I was having a similar problem when I moved out into an apartment with my partner. I would leave wrappers and cans from where I had gotten a snack, or paper towels/scraps from art projects on my desk that needed to be thrown away. I would throw them away when I remembered to, but I didn't like that i was still having the same issue as an adult. I brought this up with my therapist, and you know what she said? (Paraphrasing)

"Buy the little trashcans and bags for them, place them where you need them. They aren't going to sit unused, the bags will catch any dirt, and if you need to clean them, then you can clean them. Just because other people don't need them usually doesn't mean you also don't."

I didn't believe her entirely, but I bought those 3 trashcans for the places that I thought they would be useful and a pack of small trash bags for I think a total of $8. The bags themselves cost more than the trashcans, I got the simplest ones out of worry that I was just going to waste my money. I placed one by my desk, one near my bed, and one near my easel and drawing table (even though it's just a few feet from my desk)

Low and behold, those three small trashcans are both used and taken out consistently and I no longer have the small trash pile issue that I used to have because I went against what I was taught instead of doing things in the supposed "right" way. It may be the right way for some people, but it's not for me, and that's morally neutral. It's not a bad thing in the slightest. If anything having the trashcan trick work has opened the door to letting myself try other new ways of doing things that I wasn't before, because I felt I had to do them "correctly".

And even if this system stops working, because ADHD is just like that™️. (When the novelty goes away, so does our interest in using the process, but thats a post for another day) I have a previously working system, whose guiding principles and/or ideas I can see about adapting to a new system. It's a step in the right direction, and I wanted to share my own success story to let people know this isn't an isolated thing? Like you can do it too! Buy yourself the extra trashcans! Give yourself what you need to succeed even if others don't use it like you do!

From the book Organizing Solutions for People with ADHD:

Putting a coat on the back of a chair by the door is fine, but if you prefer, use coat hooks and a large catch-all basket for dropping keys, hats, gloves.

Small bookcase end-table next to the couch to store craft projects, books, and other things being worked on for easy access.

Add a storage unit near the dining room table to transition between eating and working there.

Daily toiletry items should be stored in a basket that you can move easily

Extra toiletries and medicine cabinet items go in open shelf/basket storage so they can be seen and used easily. If items no longer fit, purge the excess. Don’t obscure the view!

If you disrobe in the bathroom, place a tall hamper in there.

Keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom

Extension Tables: A Versatile Addition to Your Dining Room

When it comes to dining, the extension tables offer an easy and stylish solution. Especially for those who frequently host large gatherings or need extra dining space.

These tables are most suitable for lodging facilities and for all sizes since they can be extended. And suitable for all types of occasions and celebrations, such as a dinner party or simply needing more room for family meals. The flexibility you need can be achieved with an extension table. 

A versatile addition to your dining room, this upholstered dining chair offers both comfort and style. Let's look at how the extension table works: 

How Extension Tables Work

Extension tables typically have a central leaf or section that can be pulled out from the table's center or side. This leaf or section helps to save space when they are not being used. They are usually stored underneath the table. 

When you need more seating, simply pull out the leaf and extend the table to its desired size.

Types of Extension Tables

There are several types of extension tables, and they are given below:

Butterfly tables: These types of tables are most commonly used when it comes to extension tables. They have two smaller leaves that fold up underneath the main table and can be pulled out to extend the length.

Sliding tables: The top of the table slides apart; sliding it will reveal a hidden leaf that can be pulled out to extend the length.

Drop-leaf tables: These tables have extensions that can be pulled down from the sides, creating a table more large and more compact shape when not in use.

Benefits of Extension Tables

Flexibility: Whether you are throwing a small party or large party, extension tables are really flexible. You can easily modify the size according to your needs.

Space-saving: When you are not using the extended part of the table, it can be stored in a compact form, taking less room and area.

Style: These tables come in different styles and materials to match your home decor.

Durability: You can custom-make them or buy ready-made, which can last for many years with proper care.

Choosing the Right Extension Table

You should consider the following factors when selecting an extension table:

Size: Estimate the number of guests, then choose the table that you can host in comfort.

Style: Choose a table that is suitable with your already existing dining room decor.

Material: Selecting the right material for the extension table is important. Unlike other traditional tables, this type of table required specific material for smooth unfolding and folding mechanisms. Typically, those materials are used that are lightweight, durable, and resistant to warping.

Features: Consider the features that are essential, such as storage space or additional seating options.

Conclusion 

For any home, extension tables are a flexible and useful option. They provide versatility, the ability to save space, and a range of styles to accommodate various preferences. An extension table can be a chic and useful option, whether you're entertaining often or just need more space for dining. You may choose the ideal extension table to improve your dining area and make entertaining easier by carefully weighing criteria like size, style, material, and features.

staring at what my house used to look like in 2008 on Google maps with the old door and the old postbox on the wall that I used to flap up and down while waiting for mum to pull out the key, when mum hasn't planted a garden on the sides of the driveway just yet so it's all stones, and the windows are funny and old fashioned with the 1950s checkered pattern I used to hate because I could never see out of them properly and now I miss so so badly, and my Nana's blue car we used to call Shimmery for its sheen is in the driveway so I know the Google streetview photo must have been taken on a Tuesday because that's when she'd visit, and it's next to the old blue car that we had before the long black one, before we ever had a stupid campervan, and the driveway bricks aren't all torn up from years and years of heavy vehicles running over them, and my right neighbours roof hasn't been retiled and I can see his grandkid as a toddler standing outside at the front gate while his daughter gets the buggy ready, either coming back from a walk or about to go on one, and my old left neighbour still lives next door so the house isn't done up all ugly and modern when the new neighbours arrived, it fits in with all the other houses, and I can see where the back of my house ends if I peek to the side because it used to be so so small before the extension, half the size it was now, before we went "open plan" with boring grey tiles and stupid sliding doors with no handles where the entire thing looks cheap, and when I'd come downstairs on the old thin beige carpet and the grey door at the end of the short wooden corridor was shut id know mum was making curry and was trying to trap all the fumes inside and now we don't even have a door there so how am I supposed to tell when she's making curry?
