These things happen to me far too often for intellectual comfort. For instance, today. Three hours ago I posted, here, just below this posting, a humourous blurb about my continual problem with ADHD. My poor wife, Linda, has to put up with my endless mental outbursts. I do try to stifle myself but with limited success.
So what's the big coincidence? Just now, only a couple hours later, I got a call from my doctor saying that after what must be about a year she finally has a response from the ADHD specialist asking me to request from them an "intake package" to fill out.
"Oh! Finally! So when will they take me in for diagnosis?"
"Well," she said, "It's usually about 16 weeks after they receive the intake package."
"!"
I'm actually happy with a friend's original diagnosis of me. I had mentioned to her my lifelong difficulty concentrating on virtually anything: text books, any other books, lectures, conversations, and now the open mic poetry readings. She was able to diagnose me (hesitantly) right away because she has children with the same problems.
But what are the chances against hearing from my doctor about this within minutes after I wrote about it, which was at some random point in the middle of this year and a half of waiting? Pretty steep, but this kind of thing seems to happen to me a lot more often than it should.
So, okay then. If my existence is so tuned into the universe, maybe I can actually "force" coincidences to happen! Why not? It's no more unlikely than the other. So for instance, maybe, just from me writing this second blurb the doctor will have to get back to me before this day is out. No choice.
I'm waiting.

Stan Burfield yeah, yes. The population increases, and so do the possible connections and coincidences.

Stan Burfield Oh dear. And I've been counting on the world to calm down my jitters. Great. Well, at least I know now that the world isn't responsible for them.
