'I don’t do a lot of things an adult should do, because I get lost in my head again... The possibility of taking one step closer to the shower is becoming less likely as I continue to bleed minutes and self-esteem.'
I’m a 57-year-old misfit who rightfully earned the nickname “ditz” at one point in my life, because I zone out in the middle of a sentence.
In my mid-40s, a doctor was somewhat successful in reining in my ditz tendencies with a Ritalin prescription after I was diagnosed with ADHD. Later, thanks to big pharma R&D, Ritalin evolved into a more sophisticated 12-hour-release medication called Concerta 36., I still struggle with focus issues and managing my time when I have an open-ended schedule, a result of my underemployment status. I work four days a week, sometimes only three.
Instead, I abandon the practical for the fantastical. I book a flight on Google and float away online, reading emails, blog posts, and Facebook news. I forget to call the insurance company that has denied a payment on a claim or to call my cousins to offer my condolences after their father died several weeks ago. I never sent out Christmas cards to family and friends.
