Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1st December 2023.

1st December, 2023.

Right … it’s officially Friday: and, yes, I’ve had my Trulicity injection.

As far as I can tell … ?

The stuff’s helping my sugar levels: but not — as the Ozempic I was on — helping with the weight.

It seems I’ll have to wait until January to here about that … !

~≈💉≈~

On other fronts … ?

I have to admit to having had a call, yesterday.

Partly as a check-up, partly as a follow up, and partly to confirm a referral.

To the relevant specialist used by my GP: to confirm a potential diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.

Some of the symptoms on Wikipedia sound relevant: but that’s not why I spoke to my GP about it.

I was actually more worried about being potentially autistic!

At any rate … ?

I’m now in the system: or, at least, on the waiting list, for that referral.

It’s six months at most: we’ll have to see how things go!

*        It’s OK, Olga, I’ll let you off!   :D   As for weird … ?   Magnus accused his opponent of receiving signals through a remote control sex toy.   I know chess grand masters are supposed to be odd, but that’s definitely strange!

        Well … there we go, Olga: I’ve been referred for ADHD.   I’m going to be thumb twiddling for a few months: but, whether I am or not?   Finding out, one way or the other, will be useful.

†        Hello, Mum!   (Did you forget to sign in, again?)

‡        That it was, Debbi!   Oh, I don’t know if these will play in the US: but this, and this, would interest you.   And maybe these.

        Oh, and there’s a package in the metaphorical post … … … …
