He hasn't told me to back off, so until we discover what works best for him, we will be working through this together. I wish I hadn't been lax for so long on this.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I cannot get home quickly enough. And then I have to think about what to wear to the funeral. Do you have to dress any particular way for the viewing? I could just wear black the whole four days, but I currently intend to attend the funeral in purple. Because I don't have enough appropriate red.

Oh dear lord. Dad called and said he wanted to visit this weekend. Dude, I'm working all weekend. (And this will be 13 day stretch where I have no days off). So now at least I have a week to clean, plaster over the wall where I stabbed a knife, and get rid if the cigarette butts from the patio.

I tell Mr Peabody I'm going on an errand, to dinner, to the Y, and so on, under the delusion that with repetition, he'll have an idea when I'll be back. He seems to be less anxious when I do that, but who knows what goes on in his tiny brain?
He's always in charge.

Here is how you know I don't live in Mayberry: today the police raided the candy store on the main street through town, because the candy store is, as we all know, a front for drug dealers. (You can buy candy there, but I have no idea if anyone does.)
That makes me sad! I like candy!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pretty sure at least half of Mayberry was a front for moonshine back in the day.

Steph, or anyone else, do you have any ADHD stratagy book recommendations?
The best (BEST) ADD books I’ve found are written by Edward Hallowell, who is a doctor and has ADD himself, and John Ratey.

Seriously, it was a game-changer for me when I read it. I think it should be required reading for anyone with ADD or with a family member who has it.
For a more Q&A type of book (strategies etc.), he wrote Answers to Distraction: [link]
For Tep, if you or the DH are interested, there’s also Married to Distraction: [link]

Darby tried to go all Incredible Journey on my friend C this week. Because staying for two days with someone she knows and loves and who takes her to the beach every day was just too too traumatic. Horrors. @@

This is one that Tim recommended, along with the 2 others you listed, and a fourth book, called Delivered From Distraction.

Yep, I forgot to add Delivered from Distraction. They are fantastic books. I think to help CJ, you might want to start with the Answers book since it’s all about the strategies. I recommend any and all of them, though, seriously.
