    I missed two days of senior beach week because I was so afraid of losing my keys I put them in my shoe where I couldn’t possibly have forgotten them.

    It’s amazing how long you can search for a ser of keys without ever needing to put your shoes on.

    Because I have ADHD, I have to designate special places for everything to keep them from disappearing.

    They still disappear anyway. I don’t fucking get why.

    Drives me crazy.

    I had this issue for a while but about a decade ago I stumbled upon someone who said “every thing should have it’s own home, and you put that thing where it lives” and it becomes somehow a lot easier.

    Living with other people throws a spanner in the works but at least the thing is there much more often.

    There should be a small sliver saying “in my hand (I’m not aware of that)”

    Sometimes I swear I must have spacial blindness. I can check an area 7 times and not see the thing I’m looking for even though it’s there.

    I got sorta (not really sorta) manic for a month and cleaned our home and rearranged everything so that it’d make more sense. I have no idea where some things are. I developed a system that I don’t recall.

    My pattern is that when I finally give up looking for something and make a definite decision to replace it or make do with something else, within a couple seconds I randomly look right at whatever I was searching for. It happens so consistently I’m sure it’s a brain pattern. My theory is that part of me knows where the thing is but doesn’t let the information rise to my consciousness because the search is a fun game. Then when I sincerely decide to quit looking, the game is over so there’s no point hiding it anymore.
