I took a nap 
I never take naps
BUT 
I just got under my weighted blanket
& the cat got on me
& I passed out

I'm having 
BIG 
maybe all the things I thought were true 
maybe everything I thought I knew
maybe I was WRONG 

I'm NOT talking about us
I'm just talking about me
& my disorientation 

I went to a library 
& I don't think I've been in a library 
for twenty years 

it was a good experience 
& I wasn't sure how long it would take me
& I hadn't been there
so I allowed 
an hour and a half
& it took me thirty minutes 
I got there thirty minutes 
BEFORE 
the library opened

she helped me early
& I was finished 
before my scheduled appointment time


I watched a thing about ADHD
I had asked
doesn't everyone do things
according to interest
BUT 
I got the answer
NO
I still don't completely understand 
what regular people 
BUT 

I remembered how I got through college 

I DON'T forget any of the stuff 
I have to do
I would make a list
of what was due WHEN 

I would have whatever time I had

I would work on
WHATEVER 
I could be interested in
for as long as I could maintain interest
THEN 
I would move on to something else 

PAPERS
I would THINK ABOUT all the time
chewing through 
the material 
in my mind
&
PRETTY much 
write the paper
the day before it was due
or night before 

I NEVER wrote
DRAFTS

I feel like this worked fine for me


I feel weird now
& you would probably not be wrong to worry
BUT 
I'm gonna pull it together 

I LOVE you VERY much 
& I want very much to see you
