One of the weird things about #ADHD is how you relate to #time.
I don't just mean #TimeBlindness, #procrastination, being late, and other typical things.
I have an insane long-term memory, can recall and categorize events by year, as long as they were at least a decade ago. But last week?
No idea.
Tomorrow? What the heck is tomorrow? No idea, whatsoever. No plans, other than things I need to do for work.
Laundry? Housework? I do those things when I have to, I never schedule them in my head in the least.
But here's another one:

But here's another one:
My #FloofDaughter (#cat) #Mira has been growing. I never quite knew her age: at the city shelter, they said they thought she was 2 years old (judged based on the teeth), but she was quite small when I first got her, and she's a very sizeable cat, now.
But I could really only tell when she'd grown when comparing her to previous pictures, or by feeling her weight, or noticing things like how tall she stood when she was on my lap. But just by looking at her, I could barely tell the difference.
My aunt had been telling me that she had been growing for the past few months, but I said it wasn't possible, that I've had her for nearly 2 years, and I didn't think she was all that young when I first got her.
But when I got adopted by #FloofSon #Sunny (who's about three months old), I looked at Mira, and my eyes bugged out! Is that really Mira? Did someone replace my cat with a Racoon? She's suddenly HUGE to me.
When did she grow this much? I have no idea. It's like she grew by 25% overnight. Some of that might be due to being annoyed at having another cat in the house now (poofy fur), some of it might be due to overfeeding (she stays with my aunt most of the time, and she's not as measured with feeding as I am), but either way, she looks like a pretty big cat to me, suddenly.
The funny thing is that I weighed her, and I don't think she's actually any heavier. Maybe a pound, max. 🤷♂️
(I will say that the method of weighing is very imprecise, as I'm stepping onto a scale while holding her, then stepping off, letting her go, then stepping on again. I'm also comparing weights made by two different scales)
