(Less than fun).. To the point of missing <a href=\"http:\/\/princekermit.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">princekermit<\/a>&#8216;s debut as a Deacon in the Mass. (Of which I reallllly wanted to attend)<\/p>\n<p>Today, I&#8217;m recovering as best I can. I&#8217;m popping cough drops and corporate-pill-box multi-symptom cold tablets.<br \/>\nI am experiementing with another self-discipline test. I have managed to not put on my glasses today.<\/p>\n<p>I have 20-35 vision. Which makes me highly functional, albeit blurred slightly at range. I can&#8217;t clearly read my name plate on the door about 15 feet away. However, I can read the spines of the reference books about 2-3 feet away with practically no blurring.<\/p>\n<p>So, why am I doing this.<\/p>\n<p>I have been noticing that I&#8217;ve been acting more impulsively of late. I don&#8217;t mind being in a schedule or having a rigid daily practice. However, I do mind when I do things automatically without thinking. A good example of this is loosing my glasses when in fact they are in the pocket of my shirt. Another example is forgetting where I&#8217;ve put a half drunk can of soda.<\/p>\n<p>I want to have better control of the things I do. Why I do them. When I should and shouldn&#8217;t be doing things. And most importantly, keeping track of the things I do. (Yay to ADHD absent mindedness)<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; We&#8217;ll see how this little experiment goes.<\/p>\n<p>Translation: Do I ever post on the topic again or is this just the &#8220;Distraction du jour&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>hrmn<\/p>\n<p>(Opens brain case and pokes at his own brain)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, no. Don&#8217;t tug on that.
