Summary
This wasn't supposed to be an episode.
I've been trying to find more ways to overcome my strange block to creating content here, and one suggestion I got from another content creator was "just put on a mic or a camera and just talk. No expectation of creating something worth publishing -- just getting used to being recorded."
On the afternoon of Friday, May 1st, I had to drive out to the VA to (ha!) pick up my ADHD meds for the next month. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the pharmacy there, and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to put this into practice.
What it turned out to be was a textbook example of working memory failure, distraction, and the ways our systems we create to externalize executive function can both fail spectacularly and also mitigate the consequences.
Honestly, there's nothing I could say or edit that would make the point more clearly, so I am presenting it here in its unedited, live, on the spot glory.
Enjoy. And, if you can empathize...I see you.
