ADD, extraintro and age

I think I may have ADD. Well, no not seriously, but I definitely cannot multi-task. I oftentimes find myself starting a bunch of tasks and then forgetting to finish them. This will not be good when I get older...I have started cooking a few times and leaving some water to boil and then going to read or do another task. Well, 30 minutes later I'll come back to a blackened and burnt pot. bad bad.

Like, right now I've been trying to get out of the kitchen and off the computer to go do some errands but between making lunch/breakfast, typing and reading e-mails, job-searching, facebooking, and blog-reading I have not managed to get fully dressed yet (although, mind you, I have brushed my teeth, done some laundry, finished some e-mails and job-searching and eaten breakfast/lunch). Our minds work in crazy ways sometimes do they not?

This whole reflection is a random (or not-so-random but seemingly that way) potpourri of mixed priorities.

I have intended to write for a few days but I am either a.) not in the mood to write or b.) too busy doing things outside that I haven't gotten a chance to.

I have been in San Diego for about 12 days and I keep on thinking of a good way to describe my experience so far in one word or two but I cannot. I'll just say I've experienced and explored a lot in a short time.

The first few days were pretty lonely and I have been learning more about the extravert/introvert/social nature of myself--although it's still a complex mystery to me. I see myself as a VERY social being and I know that I am at my best when I am in the company of some great people. I also realize that it takes me a long time to get really comfortable with people although I can meet people and get involved rather quickly. I also know that I am both introverted/extraverted depending on the context and people but I still haven't decided if I am more one or the other. For right now I just consider myself an extraintro--a solid combo of both.

What do you think do you think of yourself more as an introvert or extravert? Do you think that God is more of an introvert or extravert?

Now, onto a thing about age. I had the pleasure of sitting down to coffee with some truly sagacious young "old people." They are in their 60s or 70s but they keep their bodies, spirits and souls more active than most people I know that are in their 20s or 30s. They have such a positive outlook on all things and it just amazes me how involved they are in taking care of their community, work and family at an age when it would be extraordinarily easy and understandable if they were just on a lake-home fishing and expecting their family and community to take care of them.

I would much rather be physically old but mentally and spiritually astute than physically young and mentally and spiritually dull.

Okay, off to do errands...finally.
