[quote=Anonymous]OP again. So, someone gave me a registration to ride in the seagull century this weekend (62 or 100 miles) in Salisbury MD.  I'd do the 62 mile ride (50 miles last week was my longest distance to date).  I know others who are also doing this ride (they are single or have children who are adults). My DH said go for it...that sometimes you have to do things you want to do, instead of what you should do.  So, Monday I focused on finding hotel rooms there for an hour (7000 people do this ride annually---so hotel rooms are rare, although I found 3).  I work Friday's, so my son and DH would drive down with me that night and would do something (there's supposed to be a good zoo there and it's near OC 20 minutes away) while I ride.  After the ride Sunday, I also had an hour long conversation with the clinical manager related to my dc's illness at 8 p.m.  Monday a.m., I had a thyroid sonogram scheduled (brother has thyroid cancer and I have nodules) and told myself to remember to take the required referral with me.  Yet, I left it at home, and felt my way to the hospital from memory (Washington Hospital Center). I was not sure I headed the right way, so I called on the way there to confirm directions. I don't have GPS. It took me longer than I thought it would (often does).  Got there 15 minutes late, signed in.  Went to the registration desk when called. Told the woman I left the referral in the car, but when I got there I realised I left it at home. So, I called the doctors office to ask them to fax it over, which they did. The receptionist needed my ID and insurance card, which remembered I'd seen fall to the floor when I was driving. So, I left the desk again and went back to my car to get it.  The doctors office faxed it over while I went to get my ID. This was extremely frustrating to me while it happened (like how can I tell myself to remember to take the referral, but forget it at home?).  This was the 2nd referral...I lost the first one. Then, I sat and waited 30 minutes, not knowing when I'd be called back for the sonogram.  Fortunately it was only a 30 minute wait.  Because of my early distraction and this delay I only had time to eat my lunch before picking up dc.  I was tired after picking him up, so I didn't get anything done on Monday afternoon.  If I go to this ride Saturday, I will have to leave after work Friday, with my dc and dh (they don't want me to drive alone in the dark). The ride starts at 7 a.m., but I'd have to get up and eat breakfast and get there by 6ish.  I'm still saddle sore from the 50 mile Sunday ride.  Somethings wrong with my cleat (I clip into the pedals) so I'd have to get that fixed before leaving. We'd also have to cancel my dc's Saturday swim class.......I'm still saddle sore from last weekends ride. I could go on. And, my house is still a cluttered mess. Cleaning clutter is not motivating to me.  My vacuum cleaner is broken, I need to order a new one.  My dishwasher does not get the dishes clean. My to-do list keeps growing......Does this sound like ADHD to you?  Yes?  If not, what is going on here? Tomorrow morning, I have an oil change at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. have Physical therapy; 12 noon, I'm supposed to meet the person who offered me their ride registration (they have to work), then have to get bick adjusted, and dc has soccer after school, etc........Feedback please!
