Is it possible to develop ADD later in life? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening to me.
I—Cannot—Focus.
Sure, I’ve been a putterer for as long as I can remember, skipping from one task to the next, but at the end of the day, my long list was always complete. I accomplished what I set out to do and went to bed each night, content and satisfied.
No longer the case.
Just to give you an idea, in the past two days, I have opened up six new Word docs with the intention of courting you with six different subjects and currently, each one displays about three sentences. There are twenty-three tabs open in my web browser. I can’t seem to make it to the laundry room because I have to walk through the family room to get there and well, let’s just say there’s always cause for pause in that area. I head towards the kitchen with the intent of baking cupcakes, but notice the granite counter top feels gritty, so I clean the entire kitchen instead. A vacuum out the cutlery drawer and wipe down all twenty-six cupboard doors kind of cleaning where, eventually, I look down to see the folds in my yellow rubber gloves crested in moonlight and I find myself totally alone, wondering why everyone is in bed already.
I don’t know what it is. I’ve started four books and can’t read more than a page in any one of them. I stand in front of my outdated pine bookcases and ponder how much better they will look when I finally paint them, only to get lost in the paperwork they house, which is never, ever finished…and thus, neither are the shelves.
Anyway, squirrel.
I got together with a friend last night. She helped me not only to hunker down and finish something, but to get a little of that Christmas Spirit I find so hard to muster, flowing. Here is the productive result of our focused girl’s night…
Could be hereditary Hazy…sorry ’bout that 😕 Great cards though 😊

I’ve been sitting here on this couch all morning so far with a half dozen things to do. So far, nothing. Maybe I’ll start one. Oh wait, I like this movie.

Maybe we are being taken over by (much, much lazier) beings. I’m suspicious!

Oh dear – this sounds like a typical day for me. I know I’m supposed to be doing something now, but can’t remember what it is – …. – oh, that’s it – laundry 😀

I don’t blame you for “forgetting” about the laundry, Dianne. There are much more enticing things to contemplate!

Thanks Phi! Although we had ours in October, I’m happy to share in your festive spirit! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 🙂
On another note, I have spent most of last night and all of this morning touching base with blogs I am very (very) behind on. Yours is next. I wish I could say I’ve been losing weight while inadvertently neglecting your delicious posts, but such is not the case. I miss your foodie tidbits!
