I must confess this is not a recent development. I have had it all of my life except when I was young they did not use this term and they did not use medication for it. I know I had this disorder because at least one teacher accused me of being scatter-brained. Now that I am retired you would think I would occasionally sit down and watch a TV show or a movie but I can't do it. I have crafts, YARD WORK, time with friends, daily email/facebook checks, newspaper time, caring visits for two family members in long-term care facilities, doctor's appointments, shopping, photography, casino trips and blogging.
So I walk by my bed and spy the unfinished scarf. It wasn't my plan but I attach the appliques by sewing a red button in the middle.
So I completed my project, woo-hoo, and I go hunting for my camera to take a photo. As I walk into the family room I see my handbag in the doorway and decide to walk it back into the bedroom.
When I am in the bedroom I decide I want to check my email so I walk back into the family room and I pass by the boxes of twig lights that I bought and forget about the email and decide that I want to put lights up but I need an extension cord so I walk out to the garage to find one. So when I am home it is just one series of events that are triggered by what pops into my head. Sometimes I complete a task and sometimes I don't.
