Is there such a thing as Adult Attention Defecit Disorder? I heard something on TV about such a condition, and I think I may have it. The main symptom is the inability to finish a project.
I'm seriously worried about this, because I have a shop full of unfinished projects. There is a little red wagon down there that I got at a yard sale about 18 months ago. I disassembled it, painted the wheels white and the tongue, axles, and related parts black. Then I bought new hubcaps and a can of red paint. There it sits, not completely painted or put together. There is also a three-wheeled bicycle (adult tricycle) down there with no transmission or rear brakes. I have a disassembled doll cradle that needs minor repair and reassembly, two scooter engines that need to be checked out and reassembled, a running, riding, scooter that needs paint, a canoe that is painted and ready to go just as soon as I can strip off the masking tape and tighten up a couple of screws, and some antique fishing tackle that needs to be posted on eBay.
I also have an almost new printer that will make copies and print pictures but won't print text from the computer. I guess all it needs is to uninstall the software and reinstall it, but I can't seem to get around to it.
Upstairs in the kitchen, there is a leaky drain under the sink and the dining room has a bad dimmer switch on the overhead light.
Some of our camping equipment still hasn't been put away. It hasn't been used since September.
The pictures I took on a cruise in October are still in the camera.
I'm not working, so I have time to do all of this stuff, if I could just get started. Does anybody have a clue about this? It goes beyond normal laziness. Howard
