What?

I'm having one of my ADHD days. Physically, I am present and I really look like I'm working and being productive. Realistically though, I have done little else than shuffle piles of paperwork around my desk which is a very effective way to appear to be uberbusy. I have to admit my mind feels a bit fractured today. Not sure why! Just an example, to give you some idea of what I mean, it took me three tries to log into this blog just now. And each time, I SWEAR I was typing the right thing.

I took some time last night to make myself a work plan to get the things done that need doing before Alex arrives in June. Yes, in June...I'm planning way ahead here to allow for my usual procrastination time. I read the list I made this morning and the first thing to do today when I get home is "bag up living room". It's in code and only I know what I mean. Essentially, it means I have taken a good look around and. decidedly, I have too much stuff. It's all getting Heftied tonight and out the door. I am a pro when it comes to the accumulation of stuff. It runs in my family. My oldest sister moved into a new apartment last week and, since she is the Queen of Stuff, the neighbors were having a field day with what she was putting out on the curb. She tried to pawn her stuff off on me but I was strong and resisted. My mother, on the other hand, fully succumbed to the wayward, soon to be homeless stuff and now she has more stuff to contend with at her house. My mom's house is like a no-kill rescue for other people's stuff. Sometimes if you go over there stuff just follows you home.

What's funny about my sister's stuff is that some of it was stuff I pawned off on her. I gave her a RubberMaid bin full of craft supplies once. The night before she moved she presented me with a bag. Turns out that my grade school, high school and college diplomas were all in the bottom of that bin. Good thing she looked in there! My whole educational lifetime could be sitting on her curb right now waiting for the garbage pick up!
