So you may have noticed that my posting has been a bit, um, thin lately. I've had a few people ask me if I've given up writing or have started a different blog, but neither of those things are true. Nor is it true that I have been undercover with the CIA, or training for the next Iron Man. Here's the deal:
Remember last year some time I confided in you all that I had been treated for a little nutty? Well, I'm still on my nutty meds. The greatest side effect of this medication for me has been restlessness. I haven't read a book in months because I can't concentrate, and I either fall asleep or get up to do something else. I have crazy dreams about public transportation -taking buses or subways, being in subway or bus stations, looking at bus and train maps - which cause me to be excessively tired during the day. Last night I had a dream that I was having Christmas Eve with my mother in law in New York at a restaurant table that was entirely too small. I'm a zombie today. And as I write this, my knee is bouncing up and down like it has a life of its own and in that life it wants to be Michael Flatly. I have been watching very good television: Law and Order SVU, Homeland, Sons of Anarchy, Orange is the New Black, but I have to play solitaire on my phone or scroll through Pinterest because I just get too restless. I'm either doing minimum two things at once, or I'm fast asleep
So its been very hard to sit and write. I glance over at the computer and feel a jolt of inspiration, and then it passes before I sit down. Even right now, I want to jump up and eat some shrimp salad. So I'm working on staying seated without falling asleep. Its a challenge. I'm getting a glimpse into ADD.
There you have it, the big update. More to come!
