> An ADD coach sounds appealing. Could be more interesting than the other items on the list.
I totally agree. On websites I've seen online they are rather pricey, but on the upside many will do phone, email, Skype, or in person (if local) or a combo of those. Usually they have adult ADD themselves and have 'been there, done that.' I have some money put aside that I could use and it may be an invaluable investment. I've read all the books...for years, but I think sometimes that human contact makes things click and makes you accountable.
>>No mucking about in therapy during the semester.
True. I stopped therapy about nine months ago after always having a t. for 11 years...and I've been mostly just fine. But the ADD issues seem to be popping out all over lately.
>>Can you farm out some of your home chores to a professional organizer?
I dunno. I'm the type who would clean my house *first* if I hired one of those prof maid services. Lol. Mortified to have people see my shortcomings with keeping house, and I am so not exaggerating. I am clean (i.e., sanitary - health department is not going to cite me or anything...well, except for one or two issues) but incredibly messy and cluttery. How do you all do it? My brain rebels violently. Cleaning chores are overwhelming and I've tried every form of lists, schedules, and reminders. It's so boring and tedious and demanding and the worst thing...almost the minute you clean something....you have to......Do.It Again. Arggggh! Where is the satisfaction and moving on with that? Bah humbug on housework.
People don't relate much since peers have beautiful, clean houses (really, I've visited) and say they don't care if mine is mostly a wreck, but I don't believe it...we women are supposed to be able to do this. I'm a grandmother, for goodness sake, when am I going to learn?? Lazy and crazy.
I like your no-nonsense writing style. I am long-winded....ya' think? ;-)
