You described my mother perfectly. She has the attention span of a flea.
I got the CRS real bad. Its exhausting!
(Cain’t Remember $h!t)
My claim is that my brain works faster than my body is able to keep up with it.
Same here, except I left the hose on the entire day and the wife wants to know why theres water running down the street.
Love Ya...Sure does sound familiar.
These days I wonder a lot more about the hereafter. I go into a room and then say to myself, “I wonder what I came in here after?”
Yup. This is a story about me. And the wife comes home and wonders what I did all day. I tell her I was very busy and did a lot of stuff.......even though I never completed any of it.
This is why I don’t plan to retire. I have enough to do already.
Yeah I’m like this but it’s because I’ve smoked weed all day long for, like, most of my life. Now I’m old, too! Watch out, everybody!!!
What you’ve described isn’t all bad because you are physically in motion the whole time and wind up tired, which is good for your heart and weight control. It shows you have motivation and something to do with your life, even though it’s at home.
This is far better than some I’ve known that do nothing, I mean nothing except get up, watch TV, eat and go to bed. They do absolutely none of the things you mentioned.
Mine too.
Nailed it!
You left the hose running....
Thanks. The new label feels good!
It used to be called “Being a Chowderhead”
I can relate to that but it gets worse...At least when you went outside to water the garden, you didn’t forget why you went outside...And then have to go back inside to get into that ‘frame’ to remember...
I’m not quite there yet. On the rare occasions when I’m home alone I can still get partial tasks done while bouncing between chores until I’ve usually gotten a pretty fair number of them completed (eventually). But I can see becoming a guy with Age-Activated ADD at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks for sharing, Sodpoodle.
That’s funny and I’ve done it too...
What?
Guilty. You forgot to add the “wifey” effect. When she breaks my concentration and asks me to drop whatever task(s) I’m currently involved with to take care of some meaningless task (that just can’t wait) for her.
Being an old programmer, I use stacks. My cuurent task gets suspended and placed on the stack while I endeavor to please her. If I complete the task to her satisfaction, I’ll restart my task(s) and resume whatever I was doing. If not, I have to abort everything and start over.
A simple question such as “Have you fed the cat today” can raise the hair on my back and completely break my concentration when I’m busy. If I reply “No!”, all I’ll get is a “What did you say?”. Rather than repeat “NO!” three times and receive the same response, it’s quicker to stop and feed the damn cat. (She says I mumble but I think she really needs a hearing aide badly”.)
It’s not full-blown CRS yet, but I’m getting there.
