Ear cockroaches are actually worse since they are not very good at moving backwards. So once they’re in they don’t have any chance but to burrow ever deeper.
It was actually kind of nice to take a break while you’re on the toilet. Whether that means checking your phone for fun, or just sitting in silence without looking at a screen. Both can be a break, depending on context.
Another good tip is to try a positive reminder. So, instead of: “Don’t forget the thing!” you’d rather tell your self: “I will totally take the thing!”
I’m the 2nd child and was pretty much free roam type. Ended up with less baggage than the 1st, but had like 10 near death experiences before 15, and my friend and I would’ve been smoking crack at age 12 if we could’ve found any.
Lucky. In my case the first went wrong, so I got the obsessive-control emotionally abusive don’t-you-dare-breathe-wrong type… Yay PTSD and a suicide attempt at 12 years old… Yeah I’d prefer the near death experiences, but at least not wanting to die.
Funny enough, Phish was going to have this at their 2018 festival “Curveball” (cancelled due to intense rains, flooding, and sewage problems in western NY where the festival was taking place). The drummer (Fish) talked about this at some point, I think on a podcast… anyway, they were going to have a shortcut back to the tent camping area but it would have crossed a “mime field”, where dozens of paid mimes would be messing with all the phans coming down off their highs on the way back from the show each night.
“Thing thing thing remember to bring the thing” “I always forget things, but not this time because I’m thinking about thing” “I must have ADHD for always forgetting to bring things” “How do other people just remember things?” “There’s a bunch about me that’s different from other people, probably from my undiagnosed ADHD” “Like how I can’t focus during conversations because my mind drifts” “And how I…”
This is relatable. In my experience, the only way to prevent is to make it literally impossible to leave for the place without bonking into the thing. Like don’t put the thing next to the door, put it in front of the door.
For real. I have sometimes put important things on my jacket, and my jacket in front of the door. That works. And I still tend to pick up my jacket so the thing I was to remember falls to the floor because it somehow still doesn’t occur to me that I put my jacket on the floor in order to remember something…
Assuming you’re driving, I find putting my car keys with the thing works. Just be careful if you have a fob; sometimes they don’t work as well after being in the fridge.
