Default Lose, Search, Find - Is it just me?

I've learned to accept most negative aspects of me. I blurt out what I think without understanding the repercussions at times. I talk way too much when nervous (which means whenever I'm in a group). I will start cleaning in one room, put something in another and end up cleaning in that room and then finding a book I hadn't finished and sitting down and reading and ignoring the cleaning. I understand that I have a form of autism that makes me not "get it" many times but I try hard. I understand I have ADHD and use that to my advantage. However ....

I do one thing that drives me up the wall and I'm really, truly hoping this is more of a general trait that a "Red/Dee" specific one. If I don't leave my glasses in my car, I lose them and it will take me days to find them. I will search high and low. I'll even look in cabinets and have been known to check the dishwasher. Invariably, I'll find them in some odd spot that makes little sense. Worse yet, I will find them walking by and just catching a glimpse of them out of my peripheral vision (obviously after I have pretty much given up on finding them and having started bugging everyone I've seen lately to see if I left them there). Drives me nuts!!

Anyone have this problem of losing, searching and then finding by accident?
