racing

i cannot stop my mind from racing these days.

no sooner do i think one thought when it is immediately run over by seven or eight sometimes related sometimes not thoughts. i think of what we will have for dinner and this turns into a mental inventory of the freezer, an internal debate on whole milk versus 2%, whether i fed the cat, if i really detest the new officemates or merely dislike them, where are my wool socks?

and it is not just my brain. i will be washing dishes, up to the elbows in suds when i think, i should take out the garbage. and i have to fight the urge to leave the dishes half done and haul the garbage to the curb. i will be getting dressed and suddenly want to switch to making the bed. will be reading email and will jump up to water the plants mid sentence.

adult onset a.d.d. -- that's the only explanation.

off to read a book, no, finish the project, no, eat some lunch, no..., claire
