200811. ADHD, impatience, or just the norm?

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but nowadays, when I surf the web, I’m quite certain I have the attention span a 6 year old child.

Page doesn’t load in under 10 seconds? Definitely clicking the “X”.

Download stalling and progress is slowing? I cancel it and reload it. 

Watching streamed TV online or taking notes in class? I likely have several windows up and am chatting with people and checking for freebies simultaneously. 

Have I become so batshit that I feel the need to make every second of my day more efficient? Sadly, yes, yes I think so.

Below is a sample of what my screen normally looks like, minus the fact that I’m not a brown and I’m not a man. haha.

190811. mi casa.

Man, what a nice change of scenery from my place in Windsor. It has been so nice moving into the heart of downtown Toronto. Yesterday, I literally left my condo, walked to the Eaton Centre, returned an item at Aritzia and Banana Republic, shopped around a little, and managed to get home, all in under half an hour. Every dinner date or drink night this week? Less than a 10 minute walk. Haha.

But it’s so much more than that. It’s the liveliness of Yonge-Dundas Square, the lights and nightscape of skyscrapers from my living room, the accessibility of pretty much everything you need, right at your very fingertips.

The only downside? My credit cards have been getting the biggest beat-down of their lives. With daily visits to the mall, I have spent more in these last 3 days than I typically do in a month. Meh. :)

P.s. Yes, 90% of the things in my condo are from Ikea. Bahaha.
