I know that I tend to overthink things. I remember taking a Statistics class in college. I actually liked the class a lot, and thought the homework problems were pretty interesting. But I did terribly on the tests because I would read way too much into the questions. I just wouldn't answer them with a straightforward answer because I was sure the professor was trying to be really tricky and what he REALLY meant was xyz instead of abc.
That's kind of how I live my life on a daily basis, and it's honestly pretty exhausting. I was working on a spreadsheet yesterday (as one does on a Saturday morning) of all our energy costs. Then I started researching thermostats, which naturally progressed to doorbells. Before I knew it, I had about 30 tabs open on my laptop and half my Saturday was gone. Were there dishes in the sink? Yes. Was I still in my pajamas? Yes. Do I still have stacks of Christmas things lying around waiting to be packed away? Yes, I do.
I've been trying to listen to audiobooks more, but my brain won't shut up long enough to absorb anything. I have to keep restarting them because my stupid brain was chasing some stupid rabbit down a stupid hole. Even when I play a video game, I do it with the sound completely off. Between the noises of the game and my brain going 100 miles a minute, it's just too overwhelming. Maybe I have ADD. Maybe that's 100% obvious to everyone but me.
I bet I drove my poor mom nuts.
