Forgetfully Yours
"ADHD manifests itself in different ways. Some people are more inattentive; others fidget more. I'm a certified space cadet. Sometimes it's the blurry, just-beyond-the-horizon feeling of something missing. Other times it's the smack-into-a-glass-door hit."
I hadn’t realised that this was why I tend to overpack! I’ve learned to be nervous about leaving anything behind, because it’s not easy for me to look ahead.
My husband likes things tidy, especially the vehicles. And I know that is the best way to have them… But, as refreshing as a spic and span van inside and out can be, it stresses me out, I procrastinate, or do a mini clean that at least gets the trash and toys out. But without my cornucopia of stuff we will need something while we are out, and I won’t have remembered to pack it. The pack-rat pile in the trunk (and front seat) calms my nerves.
