The ADD Diet

Monday, July 6th, 2009

A variation of this happens most days ending in a Y:

- Get done with a half-hour block of doing something.
- Realize I’m hungry
- Go to freezer/fridge/cabinets looking for something
- Empty the ice trays into the bucket thingie and re-fill them.
- Get frustrated and go noodle around online.
- Realize I’m hungry
- Go to cabinets/freezer/fridge looking for something
- Get disgusted with dishes and wash two small plates and a spoon
- Put the washed two plates and spoon right back on top of the pile where I found them.
- GO back and noodle around online
- Realize I’m still hungry
- Go to the cabinets/freezer/freezer looking for something
- Wonder why the hell my freezer doesn’t work as the ice is still water.
- Walk half-way back to the computer, and yell “GOD DAMMIT”
- Go to the little boy’s room
- Go back and noodle around online
- Realize I’m STILL hungry
- Walk to the cabinets/cabinets/fridge looking for something.
- Grab something to eat, and put it on the counter
- Go back and check the market.
- Realize I’m still hungry
- Go back to the counter, open the partially and unintentionally thawed something to eat
- Put it in the microwave
- Hit start
- Go noodle around online, listening for the ding
- Check the weather both at the forecast.weather.gov and “thefuckingweather.com”
- Apply to another couple jobs that were just posted
- Realize I’m hungry
- Walk to the kitchen and look in the fridge/fridge/freezer for something to eat
- Walk back to the computer
- Sit down and yell “GOD DAMMIT!” again
- Go to the microwave, and re-start it to heat the now cold food
- Go sit down and noodle around on line.
- Reach for a now-empty bottle of diet dew
- Go back to the fridge looking for a new, nonexistent bottle.
- Look for boat shoes I can wear without socks because socks I’d have to add a “go find” entry for as well
- Shuffle off to the stupidmarket for new dew.
- Come back home and fetch my glass
- Go to freezer looking for ice cubes.
- Bitch some more that freezer doesn’t work, take ice cubes from bin.
- Enjoy half a bottle of diet dew while noodling around online and applying to what I hope isn’t the same job again
- Wonder what that bizarre nagging feeling is
- Realize I’m hungry
- Go to cabinets/cabinets/fridge looking for something to eat, annoyed by nagging feeling
- wash the same spoon, not realizing it’s the same spoon
- Get half way to my computer and yell “GOD DAMMIT!”
- Go back and turn the microwave back on
- STAND THERE WHILE BURRITOS COOK, WAITING FOR DING
- Flip burritos over and start microwave for 2nd half of cooking process
- Go noodle around online
- Realize I’m hungry
- Fetch food and bring it to computer, grumbling incoherently
- Exhibit an uncharacteristic moment of clarity as I realize what has just happened
- Open the blog posting interface and title a new post “The ADD Diet”
- Spend 20 minutes typing a reasonably accurate list of the events that took place.
- Noodle around online
- Look down at the plate of burritos and realize they’re cold.
- Eat them anyway.
- Hit Post

And people wonder why I get excited about cold speg-o’s out of the can.
