So I took the first dose of ritalin half an hour ago, and my resting HR has been between 85-90. It feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and that was only with half a tablet. I'll see how I go for the rest of the day.

The first couple of days may feel like that. It will settle over the course of the day :)

I sure hope it does settle! :D it's been great sitting down and having a HR of 100. I almost feel like I'm too wired to talk or sing properly haha

You know you’re watching a bit much King Of The Hill when you can understand Boomhauer

I didn’t grab my groceries in fast enough and some arsehole walked up and stole items off my doorstep

So sorry. What an arsehole. Could you get a video doorbell? Can get one for under $150, depends on the brand and features. It can alert you when someone is at the door, eg when the delivery arrives, so you can pick it up off the door straight away. Bonus is that you have evidence for the police too if anything is stolen.

Yeah thankfully I’ve got a security camera so his butt has been reported (again)
