ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

Dear D.L. ~ Just love your 'Original' Quips and eclectic offerings among the many snippers with sharp scissors of late.

This one made me laugh aloud. Bravo, Denise! 💕🙂
I sense a heating pad in the vicinity of this one. Cleverly crafted, but I'm not sure he would agree, LOL.
That darned male ego! Very well expressed, Denise!
Oh, no! If he'd only parted with a few bucks and hired help. Nicely done!
Evocative imagery & Unexpected twist ending.
Oh my goodness. This reminds me of my mom who insists on gardening and hurts her back every time.
Cute twist at the end! Good one, Denise. 😊
Haha, this one's funny!
This is so typical of some people!
