The surprise divorce and ghosting after a 45 yr. marriage has left me with a lot of problems, including ADD symptoms that have been interfering in every aspect of my life. But every once in awhile, I think maybe I'm getting better and will go back to normal.

Well, apparently that's not yet the case because this morning, I was dusting my dresser top with my new dusting mitt and when I looked up and saw myself in the mirror, the vision that greeted me was a woman wearing pajama bottoms and a bra that she'd somehow managed to forget to put the second strap up. Which means that somehow I started to get dressed, got the bra half on and somehow got distracted and had to start dusting.

I have flowers to transplant today and if I'd done that afterwards, I'd blame what I did on being in the sun too long but I haven't gone outside yet. I think I better put a full length mirror by my front door. Apparently I can't be trusted to be fully clothed before I start a task.

OK, I'm heading out now. Someone check on me if I don't show up again for a few days cuz I might be wandering up A1A looking for my clothes.

After divorce, i went back to school at 58 years old. After a full day of school and work, i was getting ready for bed and realized I didnt even get a bra on that morning and hadn't realize it all day.

At my age, that isnt cute or sexy. it's downright scary.

Joseip, we'll keep an eye out for each other.

Happy planting, I am jealous, we are getting up to nine inches of snow today.

After 40 years, ex turned into someone I didnt know and couldnt trust anymore. Divorced. 1/17

Hey Josiep,

I suppose I have to start this with a confession?

I am not chipping in with a response on how I can top that.

I mean, I can't after all, come up with a story of how I started out on my day with both bra straps off the shoulders, now could I?

What I did just want to say is how reading this has lifted my spirits. So thanks for relating it.

I am pretty sure that I couldn't even come up with something on the ADD thing. I don't think I have that. Although my short term memory is so bad these days, am being completely serious and honest there, that I might have some of it, but just forget too soon.

Where I am sure I could come up with multiple tales that could beat any of yours, or any one else in SI land for that matter, is with OCD.

Top anything you have on that any day.

I can bottom it. 😃.

Since all my marriage fun my sleep has sucked. I am finding that I don’t notice things anymore or I don’t think the same.

Last month I wore one brown shoe and one black shoe for an entire day at work. Was the Second time.

Before that I wore two different socks to work.

Before that I put my pants on backwards in the am. Thankfully I noticed before I left for work.

Thursday I managed to broadcast my chest on a video conference call. Yah that was embarrassing.

I could go on .... and on....

I get it! Last week I posted this on my FB page:

I was diagnosed with OCCCABD...

Obsessive,

Compulsive,

Crazy,

Cursing,

Angry,

Bitch,

Disorder.

I don't know why I posted it on FB - everybody else already knew. If I could only remember why I went into the bathroom before I potty down my leg.

Road of life is paved with dead squirrels who couldn't make a decision.

My butt is way too big for that to ever happen
