no-dopamine, I love your reference to Nero and fiddling while Rome burned, thanks for the chuckle!
AS for kitchen mishaps, thankfully, I never actually had anything catch on fire in the kitchen but can’t understand why! One of my kids is always chastising me for leaving the stove and oven on and I used to forget I was cooking and go do something else – when I came back everything was overdone. One time I was baking a frozen pizza for my daughter and her boyfriend and they suggested I remove the cardboard from the bottom of the pizza before putting it in the oven. I insisted I always left it on. They kind of exchanged looks but said no more. I put the thing in the oven and walked away. Apparently her boyfriend told her to take it out and remove the cardboard because it was starting to smoke. I of course was oblivious to this because I had gotten distracted and was doing something else. My daughter told me a while later, I kind of felt silly in hindsight.
Reading the above posts has made me aware that since starting meds these sorts of things have become less and less frequent. Being as I was just today trying to think of how things have improved since I found out I had ADD, this is another positive improvement to take note of.
