    Sometimes, I think I have ODD.  I can be oppositional.  It seems that the only times that I feel like cleaning are when I should be doing something else or I have to go somewhere.  Well, not everytime but most of the time.  Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table.  Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...
