For some reason I thought today is Sunday. I can also forget if I forgot to brush my teeth, I forget that I already taken my vitamins or pills.

If I'm knocked off my routine in the morning, I forget things - my meds especially. If I do things out of order in the shower, I'm liable to shampoo twice and not realize until it gets really lathery the second time. It's pretty normal for me to walk into a different room to get something and forget what I went there for.

I'm a potato.

I recently discovered that some memory issues are related to our "executive functioning" not functioning properly.

Good thing we have smartphones and computers now. Good thing for cables and TV satellites telling us the date.

I’m always leaving my keys, wallet, or cell phone in places. Miraculously, they are always returned to me as I left them. Most people aren’t too bad.

I have but none that took stuff that I’ve left places. From my home is a different story.

I’ve known a few individuals who are very bad but the vast majority of people I’ve known have been decent. I try to look at things from a glass half full kind of perspective.

I can look for something for days and then suddenly it is on the kitchen counter right in front of me and has been all the time.
It's as if it has been covered in a cloak that makes it invisible, or disappeared into another dimension. When I finally see it, it makes me question my sanity, which is questionable at the best of times in any case.
