LIfe in my ADD world...:)
It sure has been awhile since I have written anything here. Life has gotten so hectic. Or maybe it's just me that has gotten hectic. I seem to have this tendency to get totally absorbed in things for period of time then never finish them. I've often thought that I have a case of ADHD. I start so many things and seldom complete them.
Some days I will stand at my easel and prepare to paint. Then I realize I don't have a certain colour of paint nearby so I set off to go through my paints looking for it. Before I get to them I notice that I haven't done the dishes yet. I fill up the sink and put some dishes in to soak. I grab the cloth and begin to wipe off the counter. Oh my, I left my wallet sitting on the counter and surely I will be going nuts looking for it if I need to run out later, so I pick up the wallet and head to where my purse is hanging in the front closet.
Upon opening the closet door I notice the vacuum and think, I should give this place a quick vacuuming while I have the chance and immediately begin to haul out the vacuum. I drag it into the living room and plug it in. I see my latest work of paper mache sitting on the livingroom floor and realize I have to move it. Then I think, "Well, if I do another layer on it, it can be drying while I vacuum..." I drag out my papers and paste and begin to add another layer. Not liking the way the paper paste is adhering I decide to surf on the internet for another form of paste. I find what I'm looking for and at the same time a link to some wonderful paper mache artists. For an hour I surf the sites absolutely amazed by some of their work.
Suddenly I realize I am getting hungry and it is now almost past noon so I head to the kitchen to make myself a snack. Oops, there sit the sink full of dishes the water now cold. I empty it out and begin to add warm water once again. I take out the makings of a sandwich and after preparing my lunch I decide to sit at the computer and surf while I eat it. After an hour I drag myself away from the computer and head back to the livingroom to vacuum. I notice I am missing an attachment for the vacuum so I go back to the closet to dig it out. While heading to the closet I notice my mail keys hanging up and realize I haven't checked the mail yet today..so off I go to the maibox.
Returning from the mailbox I notice the laundry room is empty and decide this is a good time to throw some laundry in. I go back to my apartment and gather together a load of laundry. While rummaging in the towel closet for the laundry soap I begin to straighten up the towels and sheets on the shelves. I come across an empty plastic basket and realize it would be perfect to store my cosmetics under the bathroom sink. I head into the bathroom, rummage under the sink for my cosmetics and begin to put them in the basket. However, the basket will not fit under the sink due to all the other products I was storing there. Before long I was emptying out the bathroom cabinet and reorganizing it. Heading back to the kitchen to get a rag to wipe out the cabinet I realized that is was now time for dinner.
I threw together a passable meal for myself and decided to sit down and watch Dr. Phil while I ate. Forty-five minutes later after the show had ended I carried my dishes back to the kitchen and put them in the once again cold sink of water. Feeling a little weary after eating I decided that a nice warm bath was in order. I headed back to the bathroom and began to draw a bath for myself. While the tub was filling I put everything back in the cabinet and decided to tackle it another day. Noticing I was almost out of my homemade bath scrub I turned off the water and headed to the kitchen to make a fresh batch.
Noticing I was out of one ingredient required I decided to search the internet for a suitable substitute. While I was searching I decided to check me email. An hour later after responding to a few emails I realized that I was getting pretty sleepy and it was getting close to bed time.
Turning off the computer I stepped over the vacuum cleaner, headed to the kitchen to drain the water from the kitchen sink and proceeded to reheat my bathwater for that much needed soak. Wow, what a day. I felt exhausted. After my long soak I headed to bed and decided that my chores could wait and that tomorrow, I would definately get started on that painting....
