One of my annoyances with ADHD is when I know I bought something and can't find it.
It just happened recently. A couple of months back, I bought cleaner to get the ink off my stamps. I plan to do a lot more decorating using rubber/silicone stamps and I read that it's important to remove the ink.
I already had stamp cleaning chamois, or going by what was printed on the package, shammy. My plan was to add the stamp cleaning fluid to the chamois and wipe my stamps on that.
Problem: I didn't have an airtight container to store it in to keep it damp. I thought I might have an old CD case or something somewhere, but I never found one, and shortly after Christmas, I decided to order a plastic case. When it arrived, I went looking for my stamp cleaning fluid.
I didn't find it.
I don't know where I put it. I checked all the craft supplies. I looked around the room in which I store these supplies. I looked around my office. I found nothing. I began to wonder if I only thought I ordered the cleaning fluid. Maybe I planned to wait. A search of my order history told me I had two bottles.
A second search ensued. Surely, I'd find it this time now that I knew exactly what the bottles looked like. Nope, still not bottles of cleaner. I ended up ordering another one.
This is what makes me crazy--when I know I have something but can't find it and end up buying another one. What compounds this problem is that I don't have the patience to conduct a thorough search.
I feel confident the missing bottles will turn up shortly after the new order arrives.
