ADHD and Me

 The fact that there is a highway to Hell and a stairway to Heaven gives you an idea of anticipated traffic volume. Regardless, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. 

ADHD has a number of symptoms including easily distrrac..look, a squirrel. Or a fox. Another is the intention to do something but never doing it, or having started it, never finishing. 

My father had ADHD but of course no one ever heard of it in those days. He never finished a project that I recall. Nor could he dispose of anything as he was always going to "do something with it". Our 1952 Massey Clipper combine being a prime example, that he was going to turn into a hopper to distribute grain to cattle on the ground. My brother sent it to scrap, cleaning up the yard after his death 24 years ago

He built a machine shed but never got the doors put on it. The house he remodeled never had the finishing nails set around the window frames. 

I intend to write a blog post on a weekly basis. It has been two weeks and this isn't the post I intended to write. I intend to volunteer at the Museum just a 30 minute walk from our home. So far not. 

My oldest gave me a leather embossing kit for Christmas. I finally found someone to teach me but they live a long bus ride away. Maybe when the weather warms up and I have $200 to buy the leather and pay for instrution. I miss doing woodworking but have no where to do it. This may be a good substitute. 

I could not organize a drunken brawl at an Irish wake. Tanya and my oldest help me out there as they are both highly organized. I do manage to walk Lucky every day, weather permitting mostly because he nags. 

I have been meaning to write a children's book about Lucky and have actually started it, have a mental outline some of which is on paper. I put it off for years because I didnt know what to do about illustrations. I am now going to worry about that after I get it written. And only then will I learn how to market it. 

There are many things to blog about that are NOT politics. We can all use a break from that on both sides of the border. 

Dont go away. They may get bogged about eventually.
