@blackdog: *groan* commiserating….

ADD is funny. Until it’s not. Thusly:

“Ha, ha!” she said. “I forgot my wallet at work. But our tickets are being held in my name at the door. If they ask for I.D., I guarantee I can talk our way in – it’s a show about ADD, after all, ha, ha!”

And she laughed and was happy.

“What a perfect parking spot!” she said. “Just around the corner from the — wait-a-minute-that’s-not-the-theatre-we’re-supposed-to-go-to….”

“Ha, ha!” she said. “That’s funny, my memory played tricks on me and I drove to the wrong theatre. Oh, well, lucky it’s a warm night and it’s only an extra block to walk to the right place.

And she laughed and was happy.

And the nice people at the door let her in and she had fun at the show.

And then she went home and said, “sure, I will put the stew away” and she was happy because they wouldn’t have to cook dinner the next night because they had *planned* ahead of time and made a big, full crockpot of stew.

And then she went to bed and was happy and had a good but short sleep.

And then she woke up and was so so so so TIRED.

And then he said, “We’ll need to pick up something for dinner on the way home tonight because the stew has been sitting out all night.”

Now it wasn’t funny anymore. She was soooooo mad at herself. She was SURE she had put the stew in the fridge, but she hadn’t. She had forgotten, and now a whole pot of food with a whole package of meat had gone bad. And all his work preparing supper was for nothing. How could she made such a STUPID, expensive mistake?

See? ADD is so, so, so funny!

Until it isn’t.
