Except when your horse starts to stray off the path you've told it to go, often you won't even notice until you're already far down that other path. Sort of a "What was I doing again?"
get up to fill glass of water. If I didn't have a glass in hand, I might get to the kitchen and forget why I walked there. Yep. I've actually sat back down and been "aw man, I was going to the bathroom" and somehow did something else instead.
I need to go do the dishes! Oh look the trash is full I will take that out then do the dishes. When I get back in the house I hear the dryer stop so hey gotta get those cloths out. Start that, I gotta pee, Oh now I'm thirsty, oh shit the dishes are still not done. Wait wasn't I going to scoop the cat boxes?
Yes I understand I can make lists and I CAN stay on task but it is really damn hard sometimes. Eventually 3/4 of everything gets done. But it takes me a lot longer than it should.
One time, my wife woke up and went to the freezer to get some ice cubes and then yelled "why is your underwear in the freezer?"
That's when I realized why everything felt so drafty to my undercarriage. I had showered, then I went to get the laundry to get dressed, then I fixed myself a glass of ice water to take my Adderall with and sat down at my computer. I forgot a step. Thankfully I didn't have to work that day.
That is hilarious! And sounds just like my son--16 years old, and ADHD. I always joke that he'd make a terrible criminal cause he'd leave evidence strewn all over the crime scene.
