Two other possible culprits to consider: high blood pressure, and dehydration.

HBP is possible - it's been with me for YEARS. I've been drinking non-caffeinated drinks most of the day. sigh ....

On the flip side, I used to have problems using a nasal allergy spray that was alcohol-based, like Flonase.

I wondered if using Flonase made me develop cataracts earlier than I would have otherwise.

Jon B. is in town, and I'm going to meet him and the AWB in about 15 minutes to give them the house tour then a ramble down Haight Street.

Fingers crossed, Shir.

Question! I do most of the things in this post: [link] I don't have ADHD. Is that why I just did those things on my own? Like, of course you have to write down all your to-dos and set reminders? Of course you should have what you need wherever you need it (chapstick, trash cans). Etc.

I think that's all normal behavior. What's abnormal is the expectation that people can stay focused on their job task for 8 hours a day without wavering.

So people adapt by learning how to multitask by whatever means they have. To-Do lists are not symptomatic of anything except trying to get a handle on a poorly designed culture.

I killed the thread for 12 hours. I'm the problem. It's me.

Speaking of problems, I need to make another comprehensive To Do list because I've got a shit ton to doo bee doo.

I've been slightly waylaid by the twin issues with the Credit Union, and paralyzed with not caring.

But now the things I was not dealing with require more immediate attention. So much for slacking.

Got an email from my oldest medical practice. They became a customer when I was pregnant with Bobby, 30 years ago. One of the original doctors passed away a decade ago, one retired last year, and another next month. The 3 remaining have sold out to a humongous medical group so we will have to do an export project of the medical records. There are over 5 million documents in the system, but it would be less for the last 10 years if that is going to be the export.

It makes me sad and is another item on the list that makes DH just want to close it down. That makes me sad since I just had my son take over my position. Don't know what is going to happen. The last few years so many of our doctors have been gobbled up by the monster groups, and I don't see that changing.

As of now, my flight to Newark next week is canceled. If the airline returns in the beginning of May I may be able to salvage some of this vacation, but right now... Oof. I really want to see you all.
