Two hours after picking up my car from ABC Automotive, my prescription sunglasses disappeared. I went straight from the car hospital to the yard waste site to get mulch and blammo, no sunglasses.
Since then, it's been nothing but a narrow, mountainous road of lost items, with things practically flying off my body and out the window. The next day, Mother's Day, I managed to drive out of town and back with all my possessions intact, but it was exhausting. I lay flattened on my back, barely able to move after that.
Two nights ago, I met my friend Jeanne and her friend John out for wine at a piano bar and left my key in the ignition. Couldn't figure out why the car doors refused to lock. Puzzled, I walked away scratching my head and leaving the car unlocked on the street all night while inside the piano bar. Where, I might add, I promptly left behind the green sweater I'd been wearing.

Right move, wrong utensil
I just inadvertently brushed my teeth with the toothbrush reserved for scrubbing lime off faucets. I would not want to kiss me, either.

Car-less in Meattle
My jalopy's in the car hospital, and 'doctors' are telling me it may cost more to fix than it's worth. Sigh. So I've been without wheels ever since. It's really not as bad as you might imagine. If I need to get somewhere unwalkable, I schedule it around MLP's (my life partner) work schedule.
Working from home sort of facilitates this whole carefree and car-less lifestyle, so if you're not lucky enough to work from home, you're SOL in this car-ocracy called the United States.
The whole point of this blog entry is its impact on my ADHD. I still have it, it's still a Talibanic ruling force in my life, but since I've not been running around willy-nilly, getting in and out of the car and cavorting about town, I've also NOT LOST ANYTHING in 10 days.
I'm not molting, and if I am, my sheddings are here with me. At home. This is really, really nice. If you don't have ADD/ADHD and you don't have a problem with misplacing, losing, breaking, dropping, leaving behind personal valuables, you can't appreciate this little pleasure.
