What’s up? First, here is a gratuitous mom photo from the MomsRising.org retreat on Sunday and Monday. I am pictured slouching in the front row with black pants and green sweater:
Can I just say I think I suffer from some kind of work-at-home ADD? I am used to working in bursts, getting up frequently to complete household chores or do something as mundane as drop off Netflix movies at the mailbox. While I was enthralled by the conversation and other smart moms at my work retreat, I found myself getting up often to use the bathroom or serve myself a cup of tea. I swear, my inability to sit still for more than two hours reminded me of a schoolboy straying from his desk.
Is it age or the work habits I’ve developed over the last few years? Are you suffering from work-at-home ADD?
In other news: about half of men ages 18 to 50 don’t have a primary-care physician, and a third haven’t had a checkup in more than a year, according to a survey reported on by USA Today. Men tend to go to the doctor only when something’s wrong. The problem with that is that a yearly check-up, or preventative care, is actually cheaper in the long run than treatment.
What else is in the news? What’s up with you?
