Well, I've gotten pretty used to 40mg each morning at this point. Although by the time of this post it's obviuos I don't feel a need for as much sleep ( Read more... )

Why is it alwasy "oh this weekend X will get done" and the weekend goes by, things get done and X is never in sight. Tricky X. Nobody today could believe I was upset by the suddenly sunny day we had, but that sun meant the yard had to be tended before it rained again and everything else went downhill from there ( Read more... )

Despite being up well past a smart bedtime, I'm certain that the past couple of nights are not medication based. I can say with certainty that if I had turned in around 10pm, I'd have slept. Of course, C-pap machines are pretty good for that once you're used to them ( Read more... )

It used to be, I would bring two smaller lunches to work. I work late morning to mid-evening so my lunch at 2pm isn't a time my body wanted a meal. I'd have a good breakfast, but by about noon, I'd want something to eat. I'd usually make myself two sammiches eat one around noon and one around 4-5. The problem with that is that I was still going ( Read more... )

Goal meeting - Ha! Making the first, haven't written anything new, but have been working on lots of Lego sorting for the last minute con build, so trading one hobby for the other I guess. Maybe tonight I'll write some. Still not making lunches the night before, despite being up way too late (see Lego sorting ( Read more... )

Well, I took two pills this morning, having taken one the last few days and seen some effect. Today was full of cleaning house, something I'm normally lousy at accomplishing. I tend to find distractions and time wasting activities rather than dive into the "real" stuff. Not so much today ( Read more... )

One thing the doctor said would happen is that I would just start doing things instead of thinking about doing them so much. That may be happening, but I seem to be interrupting myself so I'm not sure what was really the desired effect. I was making my sandwiches this morning (yes, goal three isn't going well yet) and I suddenly felt the need to ( Read more... )

Well, as predicted, no noticable effect. Maybe I was a little jittery early on or maybe I just didn't sleep enough last night. Right now, I've turned on an episode of Babylon 5 that will last longer thant I should be taking to clean up the kitchen and make lunches per my previous goal. Man they made some neat starship designs.

So yesterday, after much delay and prodding from the wife, I went to see a psychologist about my potential for adult ADD. After interviewing me about my concerns and history for just a few minutes, he was pretty satified that I would benefit from medication. His words were that I was pretty much as close to "pure ADD" a one could probably get as ( Read more... )

I was arriving late to a friend's house for some gaming activities. It was a special day because I was joining them for the first time and it was being run by local author Cherie Priest, whom none of my friends know, that I'm aware of. It was a bit of an anxiety dream as I was late, unprepared (they luckily had a pregenerated character for me) ( Read more... )
