Marmalade
Marmalade is a thief and a murderer, but above all, she is a good friend and my cat. I was eight - no nine the day my father brought her home. I had begged my parents for a dog, mainly because most of my friends had dogs. The latest was Crystal, who lived across the street and had just gotten a Labrador puppy she named Tripp.

Ill-gotten
Clive sighed and leaned back in the chair, looking at the remains of his dinner on the plate. There was very little left, just some of the baked potato skin and a small pool of congealed butter which had run down the sides of the potato. The medium-rare fillet had been magnificent, and the Caesar salad perfect, not soggy. For dessert, he had ordered tiramisu, and it had been one of the best he’d had in quite some time. Not as good as Sonja’s Baked Goods, near his townhouse. Sonja’s, in his opinion, was the best bakery in the city.

Writing with ADHD and Chronic Procrastination
Almost two years ago, at 62, I was diagnosed with ADHD, which in my case, comes with chronic procrastination. CP is not a symptom of ADHD, but it is commonly seen in those with ADHD. Understanding what ADHD is now, I know I have dealt with it my entire life. I have been told it is unusual to be diagnosed so late in life, but when I was young, there was no such thing as ADHD. When it started to be recognized, I was married with children. Odds were that even if it was being diagnosed when I was a child, I would not have aroused suspicion. Girls are better able to hide symptoms, which I unconsciously became very adept at.
