This is asking about frequency, not variety. If you lose even just one thing constantly, choose "constantly."

"Losing" here means not remembering where you've left something and thus needing to search for it (regardless of whether you find it again). Do not count times that you can't find something because someone else has moved it.

What it's like having little kids at the school library

Grade 1 Student: *checks out a book*

Grade 1 Teacher: Okay, is everyone ready to go? Grade 1 Student, where's your book?

Grade 1 Student: ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Grade 1 Teacher: *sighs*

It is not the first time this has happened. With different students. The other time there was crying involved.

ADHD is putting something in a 'safe place' so you won't lose it and then spending 3 weeks trying to remember where that safe place was

“Be Nobody’s Darling” is a quote from author Alice Walker” "Be nobody's darling. Be an outcast. Take the contradictions of your life and wrap around you like a shawl to parry stones. To keep you warm."

Notes re my 8/202005 "sunny suns" journal entry: 3/30/2025

Katherine and Anna were my grandmothers. Joan was my aunt. Scott was my childhood friend. They all had August 20 birthdays.

“Sunny suns” were my dark glasses clip ons. They clipped on to my regular glasses. Per my 4/7/2006 margin note “never found them!”, apparently means despite my mindfulness plan, I lost them anyway!

Jim was my gay partner. Michael was his long time friend. We were still using land line phones then. One was for the law office. The other, the back line, was for our private calls.

I had an Irish coffee while I watered plants in the back yard of our house with the help of a buckeye butterfly.

Naked ladies were flowers. Jim had inherited an Adirondack chair from his dear friend Randy who had died from AIDS in 1992.

I LOST MY DUKE STICKER GODDAMMIT

[smudgedinknotes]

Im going to absolutely lose my shit and start sobbing because I just lost my Yichen and my son Bai Jiu

-for context; I've been wearing this brown rope bracelet with a bell and a leaf charm on it for a year now and I just changed in my pj's. And realized that my wrist wasn't making any noise so at first I thought I had lost the bell again (bc the bell has come lose by itself on multiple occasions now) but then I when I started searching clothes I realized that something was off bc I didn't feel the leaf either and then I touched my wrist to check and it turns out I've lost both the leaf and the bell.

It's most likely in my house somewhere but it's tiny and I have to wait till tomorrow till I can start looking for it but who knows if I'll ever find it again and I can't buy the same charms or the same bracelet anywhere bc it's an old bracelet I had randomly just laying in my room and one day was like wait it matches YC and BJ

I feel ill bc it feels so wrong, my whole body feels wrong now as well 😭
