Once Upon a Time, I Could Multi-Task.

I’ll give you an example:  Laundry. I turn the water on and pour the detergent in.  Then I give it a few minutes to fill, so I can swish it around and mix it up.  Is that necessary?  I don’t know.  But it’s what I do.  The swishy is pretty much the only part I enjoy.  I will swish.  Meanwhile… continue reading…
