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$.

Congratulations 🎊👏
HA HA HA HA! I have NEVER in my life, EVER bought the most top of the line phone made available ever. When I think about cell phone's early beginnings and my age to the times and changes, I shake my head at the thought of HOW MUCH MONEY that would have been by now with constant upgrades in new phones every 6 months for the first 15 yrs or so of contract/credit phone type deals? And I'm glad I've never followed or become a part of the trend where I see everyone with their faces down and looking into their phones everywhere and any time they get the chance! That I maintain the habit and joy of putting down tech and interacting with people in person when we gather together, whether at parties, dinners, school, work or church! So you really hit home with this piece, and you earned your honorable mention! And I will be back to read more! :D
