I brought a lamp into my room only to discover there was already a lamp in my room. Am I going crazy? Fortunately, I haven't started answering myself yet. Oh yes you have. Damn.
Haha. Well... Often for me it takes a few trips to get what I wanted as when I get to where I need to be to get the item I get mindblank, and I have to go back to where I was before when I thought of what I need so my mind will be able to remember it. The strange thing is that it is not that the origional enviroment happens to lack the thing I need that makes me remember (Though it can help). It is the reversing back to where I was and standing there in that enviroment which makes me remember, as the new enviroment where I could not think why I was there seems to hit a mind blank wall that needs reversing so I can remember... And oddly, unless I do something slightly different, I can have the process repeat itself so I will go back to the area where I wanted to get something from a second or even a third time only to have the same thing happen! Yet if I changed the process a bit, I can go and get it.
The funny thing is that I have had this for ever since I can remember which is why I tend to write things down if I am going on a longer journey to get something which often puzzles other people as they think I am being awkward with them if they say "While you are there can you get..." and they see me going to fetch a pen and paper to write it down and I have to write down the origional reason for going. I can remember where I am going so if it is obvious and routine like the routine will take over, and sometimes I have no issues remembering. I just don't really get it!
