I hate ADD

I HATE having to try and be organized because I fall off the wagon, and lose stuff, or forget where I put it.

Sometimes it is in the place where a cluttered ADD mind would think to put it, but often it is also in the place that an organized person would think to put it, because in those flash of brillance moments I have the idea to be more organized and so I start to be more organized, only to fall off the organized wagon and forget what I did with stuff. and when it is in the organized place, my cluttered mind is the one looking for the thing, and therefore is not ANYWHERE I can think it SHOULD be!

We have lived in this house for over a year, and apparently I forgot to change the addresses on our health cards. We can’t get health care without the card. ( well we could but we’d have to pay for the visit/blood test/etc if we don’t present our provincial issued card upon arrival.this is something we cannot afford out of pocket)

I THOUGHT I changed the addresses, but we all have the cards with the old address on it.

This in and of itself is NOT that big an issue.

A quick click here and there on a website and the address change requests have been put in for my and hubby’s cards. BUT…

My daughter’s card has expired on her birthday which was October past, and therefore I technically DO NOT have a health card that is valid for her. When a card expires the  letter code changes when a new one is issued, so her last appointment is not covered. and she has an appointment today at 12:30, which is looks like I’m going to have to cancel until I can get to the city, which is a hour away during, and get there during business hours and apply for the new one and a temporary card until the new one is printed and mailed.

This in and of itself is not THAT big a deal… BUT

I can’t find my son or my daughter’s birth certificates.

You see….so we would not lose them, hubby and I decided to file them away in a safe place, so as not to be travelling with them on our person all the time, since they are not needed all the time.

This in and of itself is not such a big deal BUT…

I can’t remember WHERE I filed them, if it was a cluttered mind moment, or an organized mind moment that i did it in, and therefore, I cannot move forward in these matters UNTIL I find their birth certificates.

And THIS in and of itself IS a big deal, because…

I have ADD. I’ve already been looking for 2 hours.

and I hate ADD.

happy fucking monday!
