I haven’t been posting a lot lately. Partly this is because of the amount of time I’ve had to spend reading job listings, filling out applications, tweaking resumes, and trying to write cover letters that aren’t don’t sound like total BS.
Partly, it’s because I’ve just been too depressed. I feel like if I write about [...]
Last week, I wrote about how I had “virtuously” cut my fat intake, with disastrous results. My trainer/personal therapist told me to eat more fat, especially at lunch. So I decided to give it a try.
I immediately felt better. On the first day. I had more energy, less fatigued, and was not tempted to gorge [...]
I have been informed that my diet does not contain enough fat.
Seriously. I’m an American. Who doesn’t eat enough fat. Obviously I am a commie pinko traitor who hates all that we stand for in this country.
I learned this after complaining to my physical therapist/trainer today that I’m gaining weight. I was frustrated, because [...]
The weather in my neighborhood is usually fairly predictable. Rain from January through March. Sun in April and May. Fog from June through August. Sun in September and October. Fog or overcast weather in November and December.
Usually, what this means is that I can count on April and May to be my good months. The [...]
For the entire month of April, you’ve only posted once to your blog about ADD … but you have half a dozen drafts sitting around dated throughout April.
And that’s not even getting to the drafts from previous months.
I’ve really got to do something about that offline life
I was reading ADDiva’s blog yesterday and came across a post about a new initiative called “Think Beyond the Label”, aimed at improving employers’ attitudes towards people with disabilities. According to the website, an organization called “Health and Disability Advocates” is running the campaign “on behalf of almost 25 states and various national and regional [...]
Well, I’m back from France. It was awesome for all kinds of reasons. The food, the art, the food, the history, the architecture, the food …
Now comes the difficult part.
After two virtually structureless weeks, weeks in which I could go wherever my whimsy took me, weeks in which someone else cleaned my room [...]
I’ve blogged before about the seasonal aspects of my ADD. Unsurprisingly, things have been even worse since the return to Standard Time (ptui!) and the loss of another hour of light in the afternoon. I’ve been more tried, more hungry, more spacey … and paradoxically, less able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour.
“Attention” [...]
Last week over at Well-Ordered Chaos I wrote about perfectionism and ADD. I had spent 20 hours writing a lens for a Squidoo contest, even though I deliberately picked a topic that I thought would be easy and quick.
Well, my perfectionism was not in vain, because I won the contest! Yay! You can check out [...]
Yesterday at <a href=”http://www.wellorderedchaos.addaptabilities.com/?p=318″>Well-Ordered Chaos</a> I blogged about heading out the door, needing to catch a train, and realizing literally at the last minute that I needed to set out donations for a pick-up. Even though I was successful — I set everything out, taped signs to it, and even made my train — I [...]
