Sagittarian Packing/Unpacking

I've moved quite a bit over the last ten years, so why packing and unpacking is still a mystery to me is because I was born under the sign of Sagittarius. I am convinced that all Sagittarius are born with at least a mild case of ADD, as we are painted as impatient, fanatical, argumentative and hotheaded, indulgent, uncommitted, fears any responsibility that curtails freedom and fails to plan adequately.

So this time I tried a bit harder to beat out my severe ADD, and I think that packing was easy this time. Of course I took a lot of breaks in between and had to concentrate my mind on one room at a time (at one point i fell asleep on the floor with my head on my puppy Piruli's bed) however, now I am faced with a greater challenge. I am alone, in a big house, with each room filled with items waiting to be released from their cardboard prisons. I tried the same approach; pick a room, stay there, Alaina, stay.... stay, DON'T SIT DOWN! Wait! you were almost done with the kitchen! aaand now shes in the bedroom. Ugh.... Now there are many half unpacked boxes.

Today, with two more boxes to go, I might just finish the kitchen! Even without running to the car to escape the mountains of cardboard for an hour, hiding in Barnes & Noble! Although I like frequent change of scenery, I do wish I had more patience and time management skills to tackle this in a faster rate, because one half of me is impatient and wants it done, and the other half shuts down when overwhelmed. This is not good behavior for a nomad as myself (family tradition! lol). I think I'm just going to sit down for a while at the computer...

Sagittarian A.D.D. Alert

It has come to my attention that there is an overwhelming correlation between being a Sagittarius and being diagnosed with A.D.D., Attention Deficit Disorder. Due to being a diagnosed Sag with A.D.D, I have seen some interesting similarities between what the doctors say about those with A.D.D. and what astrologers say about us Sagittarians.

Does your Sag have any of these symptoms?

from HelpGuide.org

Hyperactivity in adults: inability to relax restlessness, nervous energy talking excessively

Impulsiveness in adults: volatile moods blurting out rude or insulting remarks interrupting others

Inattentiveness in adults: “tuning out” unintentionally inability to focus on mundane tasks constantly losing and forgetting things

Positive characteristics of adults with ADD / ADHD

The symptoms of ADD / ADHD are not all negative. People with ADD / ADHD also have many positive traits that are directly tied to their active, impulsive minds:

• Creativity – People with ADD excel at thinking outside of the box, brainstorming, and finding creative solutions to problems. Because of their flexible way of thinking about things, they tend to be more open-minded, independent, and ready to improvise.
• Enthusiasm and spontaneity – People with ADD are free spirits with lively minds—qualities that makes for good company and engrossing conversation. Their enthusiasm and spontaneous approach to life can be infectious.
• A quick mind - People with ADD have the ability to think on their feet, quickly absorb new information (as long as it’s interesting), and multitask with ease. Their rapid-fire minds thrive on stimulation. They adapt well to change and are great in a crisis.
• High energy level – People with ADD have loads of energy. When their attention is captured by something that interests them, they can have virtually unlimited stamina and drive.

Now here are the positive and negative aspects of the Sag Personality according to the stars:

So are all Sagittarians doomed to take Ritalin or Adderal their whole life just for being born at the end of the year? Is there some correlation between christmas lights or pine sap exposure to newborns and A.D.D.? Where's that scientific study? Wait, what were we just talking about again?
