...I'm back! Hoping to write a long post soon, but briefly, I've discovered I have ADD, which explains most of the problems I've had throughout my life. I started feeling bitter that no one ever picked up on it before, then I read by chance 'sleeping beauty was nearly 50 when she woke up'. I guess it's never too late. I've been referred for an 'official' diagnosis, hopefully followed by treatment, meanwhile I've found that taking 15 mg of prescription dexedrine in one go seems to help. I'm only on 20mg a day so I guess they will either give me a higher dose or try me on ritalin.
HNM is history. Actually, scrub that, he was present during history. OK we all lie about our ages sometimes, but by TWENTY YEARS!!! Just as well I never had my wicked way! OK he's only 18 months older than my first love, but that's different, I've known my first love on and off since I was nearly 19 and he was 32.
Meanwhile, I have a toyboy!!!! To be referred to as the TD (Turkish delight) or the Ferret (long story). And yes I'm afraid I lied about my age, but not by anything like 20 years! The full story coming in another post.
With everything going on healthwise my creative life has taken a backseat and its driving me crazy. I have a constant battle (which I am usually losing) to stop the house looking like something out of 'How Clean is your House', caused, I have now found, by the ADD. It got out of control and I'm desperately trying to keep on top of it. But I think I've reached the stage where I desperately need to concentrate on doing the spare room which is going to be for my writing, scrapbooking, and art journaling when I get round to it. Meanwhile, if I remember how, I will post a pic of me and the TD.
