organize my supplies: pull everything out sort, play with stuff, go to store for organizing bins and maybe order new craft supplies, label, get tired, and leave almost everything in piles for weeks. Oh, and feel guilty every single time I walk by the piles, but be completely unable to do anything about them.

I dunno why I think a raccoon named Paul is funny, but to me it really is. If I ever have a raccoon friend, it will be a Paul regardless of gender.

Yeah, I know it's gross. But that's me, the gross coffee drinker.

Whenever I go to the doctor's office and they ask about something that happened unrelated to that day's visit, I can't seem to remember.

Examples:

At one appt, "So have you had any more troubles from your sinus infection that we saw you for 9 months ago?" Oh yeah...I had a sinus infection.

At a different appt, "You had your eye surgery in a different network. Let's update your record in our network. Who was the surgeon and when was it?" Um, it was a guy...and it was, I think, three years ago. (I looked up the surgeon's name online based on where I remember the surgery center to be and called and the surgery was a hair over a year ago.) That sounds like an extreme example because the surgery was a big deal, but yeah.

Often I can't seem to recall any of the original symptoms that led me to taking a medicine.

It's like medical amnesia. They have everything in their notes, but I've got zilch. It's really frustrating.

I've considered writing everything down, but once I'm out the door, that idea seems to vanish.

I've learned to take in a very full description of what's currently going on because I know I'll draw a blank when the doc asks of the specifics on why I'm in that time. I feel like a weirdo with a printout. If only I could remember to hang onto that printout for future reference. Ugh.

I'm not dumb and I'm not like this with other things. It's weird and I'm wondering if it's just me.

Title is from Who Framed Roger Rabbit as is the image in the meme. Meme reads, "You mean you could've done it at any time?!" ADHD replies, "Not at any time, only when it was INTERESTING or URGENT."

Meme reads, "ADHD in normal circumstances: 'I have no idea what's happening and I am grossly underprepared for everything and falling apart, pls send help' ADHD in times of CRISIS: (smiling emoji wearing sunglasses) I have been training for this moment my entire life. Stand back, weaklings, I've got this covered."

Meme reads in text bubbles: #1 Are you religious? I'd like to introduce you to my religion #2 what's your religion #1 image sent of a mountainscape at sunset with two raccoons with raised paws praising a third, much larger raccoon who is seen as an apparition and also has paws raised #2 I'm interested

Meme in the style of 80s school portrait having a main image and a second more dreamy and transparent image of the same subject, which in this case is a raccoon with closed eyes. Upper text reads: Today I will not overthink. Lower text reads: I simply will not think at all.
