And so I think my whole life when I look at all these different things, it's this combination of wanting to do something but often being paralyzed, having a great visionary idea for something but unable to follow it through.

I think I've had some terrible ideas, but I've also had some brilliant ideas that I didn't actually realize because I had the idea and vision, but I couldn't complete it and do it.

And with the impulsive stuff or the desire to do something spontaneous, I want to do something spontaneous, but I also live by rigid routine.

And I think that is a really difficult combination.

I love all food and want to try everything, and yet I eat the same meal every night.

I discovered the salad project around the corner three weeks ago, and I've had more salad projects than it has been days since my discovery.

And every single salad project meal has been identically the same.

And that's not because I don't have a broad flavor and not because I want to try different things.

It's like the routine sometimes becomes this strangulation.

I'm not good with change of routine.

My diary is chaos.

I'm very, very busy.

I'm doing lots of different things all at once.

Typical ADHD.

I have my finger in many different pies, and I love and enjoy doing all of it.

And I don't mind having lots of different varied things going on, but I just can't deal with them changing.

You know, change is something I'm not good at.

If something's in the diary and supposed to happen, it doesn't.

That completely throws me.

Another thing that really throws me is that if I'm not able to do my kind of normal daily routines, I get up in the morning at seven, I have a shower, I make my coffee in the way I like, I get rolled, I walk out the door.
