I am a very active person... [View all]

but my brain goes into overdrive when I feel rushed. And it's an uncomfortable, anxious feeling.

Prior to this strange new world, I was making lists for things I would do over spring break. Now I find myself with TIME. I don't have to rush to get things done. I can clean whenever I want instead of rushing to get it done before work or after work when I'm dead tired. I can sleep when I am tired. Sure there are holiday times but even then I was always busy.

Today, I walked the dogs, had breakfast and am now sitting down to write some letters (after checking in here and email of course). Later I will do a few things for my office job (with zero commute time!) and then I'll think about what's for dinner for my family.

Is this what relaxing feels like? Retirement? People without ADHD?
