Yes, but you left the oven on.

Wait did i bring all i needed for today?

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

Aaaaah! I was just getting past that one, starting to convince myself of my adaptability to work around anything I forget to bring. How easily that one is rekindled. That's a biggie.

Ha ha, nice try. I know I locked it because I checked three times and each time said out loud, "it's definitely locked". I might just check one more time though...

Every time I discover I didn't, I add another check.

I don't know if "Did you lock the door?" is beginner anxiety. Seems more a delicacy of hyper vigilance anxiety from PTSD; more higher tier stuff. Like starting on a sip of the strong stuff.
