Thanks for sharing this post. I can relate, for sure!
I’m with you with reading but I don’t read as mum as my sister Sue My brain spends a lot…
I do enjoy each obsession as it’s upon me… But I will say that some of them are more USEFUL…

Why is it…that when our digital devices are syncing, we don’t throw them life preservers? Why is it…that everyone has a “bucket list” of things they want to do, but nobody talks about the Fuckit List of the shit they’ve decided not to bother with? Why is it…that people don’t come with the “Cool” button…
