in part, yes, I believe that I do and I believe the visual therapy and new glasses every few months seem to be helping.

It stays in the same location, I believe it is attached because I can't really move it, but it does seem to change size, etc.

Interesting idea, wisdom of the crowd....TY.

Thank you for taking the time to write a response :-)

I am on a 9 month waiting list and that was the shortest wait list for top drs in my state.

Thank you. I will check this out today.

I meditate for 3-4 hours every day. I am no stranger to 10, 20, 30 days of a vipassana silent meditation experience.

Yes, I read a lot for enjoyment. This has also gone down hill.

TY. I value your feedback.

Actually, I do feel a slight lump (about the size of a nickel) above my right ear and it changes in size, sensitivity, etc. My PCP wrote it off, but sometimes it feels very warm too.

Yes, 3 times since July and just got new glasses 2 months ago. I have everyday glasses and also glasses for reading/screens. They help to enlarge the text and make it more crisp. They are an improvement.

Oldest person in my group.

Coincidentally, they call me "boomer" and have adopted me as group "mom".

I was on ADHD medications for 2 years and stopped this past July. I felt like the medications kept me withdrawn and my spouse said I wasn't the same person. Also, they didn't seem to help even on a large dose of Vyvanse.

Yes, lifelong reader, I own almost 700 books and have read a very large percentage of them.

I do live in an area where ticks are prevalent. Thanks for mentioning.

Taking no meds for the last 9 months, never had Covid, my PCP referred me to the development/behavioral ophthalmologist.

updated the main post as well to reflect this..

I wish they would so something about iPad magic keyboards and sticky keys. Mine stated with one sticky key and quickly others become sticky. Cleaning didn’t help. It’s out of warranty and I can’t justify spending another $399(?) on a new one.

I would be happy to donate to your efforts for helping the OP out. Thank you kind soul.

For those interested there is a book about the "Early Days" at Adobe.

Oh, my. I still have my old BBS setup in totes in my barn. This brings me back to being 14, persuading the phone company to run an extra line to my grandparents hours using a "note" from them that said I could. I'm not saying I wrote the note, but they didn't know they had a second line :-)

Just an idea, but would a Masters in some other field besides CS make more sense? Perhaps you have a passion or something that drives you to where you could marry this with what you already know about CS?

+1 here because my marriage is amazing but we do get stuck in routines, we have no common interests really except very small things, both have struggled with personal loss/grief and are currently experiencing financial difficulty.

It has been 16 years and somehow head to pillow every night still brings a smile to my face for this amazing woman being the love of my life.

Can anyone share their resources on how to write programs on TI calculators? What is the language option you chose?

TI has a bunch of info here also: https://education.ti.com/en/products/calculators/graphing-ca...

Thanks. I take 50mg Vyvanse daily now. It helps but I still have trouble keeping up with reading. The class I am in now has on average of 200 pages per week.

I too read books lovingly, however when I switch to school mode, my reading needs to improve. I am really slow at reading and taking notes. So much so that I am often behind in reading intensive classes.

If anyone has advice, I am desperately in need.

I am currently on break from playing video games, but I will buy your game today and save it for when my digital detox is over.

You learned more by writing those algos than your corporate job would have done you :-)

Congrats on releasing your baby!

> reviews

Are you saying that I can self-host and have the same "review" functionality as GitHub when reviewing PR's?

I had a 2007 Element and loved it. I held on to it until it started having major problems. I never hosed mine out, but mine was from Canada and had a drain hole in the the front and rear.

I never hosed it out though even when it really could have used it. We camped in it a lot.

The Big Nerd Ranch. Omg how this brings back nostalgia. I drove (at the time) 20 hours to Georgia to a remote location and spent an intensive heads down week coding and not sleeping. The whole team was quite memorable.

Wow! I read your blog!

This approach was at my original thought. I then talked myself out of it in way of "scope creep" telling myself I could get more done that I give myself credit for. Why not bring a few devices just in case? Etc. Ugh. My neurodivergent brain.

Thank you for indirecting reming me that the point of the time is to think and research and work out details, not to put fingers to keyboard and get distracted by any number of notifications.

This may sound weird but I have a few notebooks that I love. The quality of the paper, a special pen I only use in this particular notebook. I have one notebook that is filled with ideas starting from when I was about 10 and owned a Commodore 64.

I also have a Remarkable 2 e-ink digital notebook and I love it. I use it for so many tasks now. No notifications, no browsing, it just lets me write, draw, hash out, journal, plan my day, etc. However, I still have a paper planner I maintain. Perhaps I have trust issues :-)
