i dunno what it is, but there's REALLY something to this...
since SUNDAY (yes, in less than a week), i have...
...gotten lost in raleigh (lived here for nearly 24 years)... literally, i had to pull in a parking lot, use the "map" feature on my iphone & "use my current location" to get directions... (umm, yeah, and i had to google the restaurant i was going to because i couldn't even have told you which road it was on)
...been talking and during the middle of the sentence just BLANK OUT... didn't have a clue what i had even been saying... (this is especially embarrassing in front of a customer)
...went to target for TWO things... repeated them to myself the whole way there, walked through those sliding glass doors & totally forgot what i even drove up there to get...
...on a different night of errands--i couldn't find the cash i had stuck in my pocket from the day before--since i didn't have my debit card* so, i was headed up to lee's work to borrow his debit card because the dog NEEDED food... like, maybe one more scoop left... so, i got about 80% of the way there and then remembered to check the front pocket in my pants...
...*i lost my debit card for nearly a week... to the point of monitoring it online to make sure no "suspicious purhcases" had been made & was fixin' to call the bank & report it lost (i was just PRAYING they wouldn't ask me HOW i lost it...)
...went to a baby shower & walked out withOUT the gift and forgot where it was at...yeh, glad i forgot the gift--so i HAD to go back in the house & then it occurred to me to check the invitation again...
...while at work, i go up to the office... sit down at my desk chair & wonder why i even went up there with such purpose...i mumble "hmm...what was i doing up here?" as the secretary just laughs...
[[this next one requires some background information--we always order out for lunch at the store--lunch time can be a busy time at the store, so my dad always pays for everyone's lunch and we "picnic"...we usually call in, and have it back at the store w/in 20 minutes...]]
...forgotten what i ordered for lunch... good thing granny keeps up with it pretty well! :)
...called lee on my way to get my h1n1 shot because it was near his old apartment--and i couldn't remember how to get there (i mean, really, how MANY bagillion times was i THERE while we were dating?!!?)
...forgot if i'd already washed my hair in the shower... (REALLY short term memory issue here...)
...and i'm SURE there are more... but i forgot 'em... ha ha...pun intended!
and, just a reminder, the above listed are just this week!!
although, i will say, its made me concentrate more on the things i am doing (less multi-tasking)...i find myself talking less on my cell phone while driving (yes, this is a good habit ANYWAY) out of fear i'll forget where i'm going or miss my turn...
on a positive note, i'm also very thankful that at this moment, its impossible for me to "leave my baby" anywhere...because i certainly would have left the poor thing somewhere by now... all alone! lol... or heaven forbid--on top of the car! haha
