As I was attempting to update my computer one day, I needed some more memory. I was disappointed because I did not think that I had any. Things change names through time, and I realized that a USB Key is what I had called a thumb drive. I recall seeing one of those in my nightstand drawer. I searched. I did not find the one that I thought I saw in there in the past, but I did find two more of them. One of them was empty, but I was impressed about what I found on the second one.
It dated back to 2011. At that time, I was going to college for web design. At the time, my interest was building a personal homepage. For some reason, I thought that I would be good at it. I enrolled in a community college web design course. I had a lot going on at the time and did not get a chance to finish it. I was also into blogging. I can be a good writer, when the mood is right. I had written many short stories that many people liked. I figured that I would eventually become a big hit. It never worked out that way. But on that drive, some of my blog entries were saved. Most of them were about my desire to blog and write posts. I am not quite sure how I thought that anybody would become interested in reading me say basically the same thing every day.
Another thing that I was blogging about was my V.A. claim. I had just gotten a cell phone. It was my first android phone. I had gotten a message from the V.A. They had asked me for my daughter’s social security number and my bank information. I did not want to get too optimistic that I got the claim at the time. I did not want to be let down. I had filed the claim about a month and a half earlier, and from what I was told, my claim was about to be finalized. The only reason that I could think of that would require them asking for my bank information was that I was approved for the money. It took several days before I got the letter saying that my suspicion was true. I got my non-service-connected disability pension. That changed my life completely.
With this award came a back payment. This was when I decided that I was going to finally get the domain name I had always wanted. Ithinkiforgot.com came to life. Every time I had purchased a domain name in the past, I was only able to pay for one year. It seemed that the next year, there was no money to renew it. I would have a cool address, then must change my email address with everybody that I had given it to a year later. But I had the funds to be able to buy the domain for longer this time. The longest amount of time I was allowed to get was five years. So, for the next five years, ithinkiforgot was going to be mine.
I have been able to keep up on paying for ithinkiforgot.com ever since then. I am considering making it part of together ADHD. I want to use it to display the lighter side of ADHD. I want to give my experience with managing the disorder. I hope it turns out the way I want it to.
