bill, that is really funny about your surgery! (I’ve heard of people who don’t want anaesthetic but this is a different twist!) I’m sorry the adderall isn’t working for you. I haven’t looked into it as it wasn’t suggested by my ADHD doc nor mentioned by the sleep specialist. I guess we have to go with whatever our docs give us.

stash, I used to love wrapping gifts too, I was a really good gift-wrapper, very fastidious, but the one thing that always tripped me up was wrapping a round biscuit tin.

I hear you on the housecleaning shortcomings, we just finished a binge effort and managed to get ahead – whether we stay ahead or not is another question, but we’ve got a pretty good headstart. Sometimes I just have to dive in and promise myself that I won’t do anything else for that period of time (it could be as little as 5 minutes – it seems like an eternity when you’re impulsive, forgetful and easily distracted like me) – even if it’s overwhelming, the intent and effort for those five minutes just might lead to another five or ten minutes. We both find it easier if we do it together, not that we do the same jobs, but that we are both working on a common goal. It’s hard, no question about it, we have tried different approaches, this one worked this time, who knows what it will take next time!
