I have a simple 5-step plan I've used to do this.

  1. Get old and have a family that always has needs
  2. Get a shitton of pets too that always have needs
  3. Go look at the shower plumbing I need to fix
  4. Go look at my car hovering on jack stands as I wait for parts to come in for the brakes
  5. I think there's an old overdue bill sitting somewhere too--

Heyyy today seems like the perfect time to go do that yard work that it's been too cold for!

Haha I might have ADHD myself but growing up with ADHD parents must be something else

It really is.

I'm 99% positive that my mother has ADHD and my dad is AuDHD. Looking back the clues were... abundant.

My dad has Au, but just mild and it never got in the way of the basic functioning of our family

AFAIK ADHD runs in the family, and autism definitely does ...
