Do you feel hurt?

Here's how I'm choosing to deal with this insanity - the misplaced things and then getting blamed by trying to have a process, that for now, my husband is doing. We have a certain place that we put his things all day. His backpack goes on the same wicker chair during the day, wallet, phone, keys, and the like, with a checklist of what's in his backpack, so we know it's there. More important he can see it's there. Nothing else EVER goes on that chair - as he knows it's his chair. with his belongings. We check it daily. At night, the knapsack, and all gets moved upstairs on the 2nd bedroom bed, lined up where he can see ALL of his things. Then upstairs, he has a small "bag" that has all of his toiletries, cerefolin brain wellness pill, cough drops, etc. Another checklist for that. And we check that every time he uses things from the bag. That stays upstairs. Anything that he uses daily, I have a duplicate for in another bag, I hold in the event he misplaced something and needs it immediately. For now, this simple process is working. And it makes me feel better when I walk by the 2nd bedroom at night and see his "stuff" lined up like soldiers on the bed.
