ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

Back to say congrats on your top story.
Oh, I like the implications here!
Congrats on Top Story!
I'm still wondering what I would do. Congratulations on top story!
So the grass they use to place on fields in tufts is real. I thought it was fake. Or maybe it is real fake grass. I would certainly panic if my love of nature turns out to be fake. Logging off means getting real. I sure would panic.
I'd try 2 wake myself up! lol Great job! This piece made me think!!!
So true, not sure if you meant it but logged off = double meaning. Logged off computer got back to reality find it’s changed Logged off all the trees on the world til nothing remains but artificial turf Any way that’s my take, Congratulations
Then I have to say that You're on turf. A real grass and dirt football field will have a football coach panic if You pluck the wrong piece of greenery. "MY FAVORITE BLADE OF GRASS! 😧😨😱"
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
No. Don't even want to think about it.
Yay, congrats on Top Story!
Oof. I think I would immediately lose my mind. Great haiku and great question!
I'd be like "Cool. When did that happen?" And then log back in hehehe. Loved your poem!
That would be some kind of nightmare. I think I would go crazy and then try, even in vain, to find out what the hell was going on! Loved this piece! Always making us think in such a small number of words! :)
I would blame it on the Matrix! Or better yet, A.I. in the matrix. lol. Outside of that, I would search and search for the real stuff, just to lay in it once more. Loved your Haiku!
OMG - that would be horrible! Very clever.
Oh wild flowers! I miss you!
No more wild flowers then ☹️
I'd be heartbroken. Nature is my lifeblood. I can't imagine a world without its beauty.
