I have been feeling old lately. No, it's not because I turned 40 this past summer, I probably haven't even lived half my life yet. And no, it's not because I am finding a random gray hair, they make me look distinguished...lol. It has everything to do with my memory. I am developing what I call "Sometimers". I forget some things some of the time. It is not terrible yet, but I actually had to break down and buy a pill sorter because I was not remembering if I took my allergy meds any particular morning.
What is a pill sorter you ask...it is a container that has indications on it for each day of the week so you can put that day's allotment of pills in it. And I had to buy one! And I am only 40! Every time I pull out the pill sorter, I feel like I am 75. Pretty soon I will be repeating myself (wait, my kids already say I do), using a walker with tennis balls on the bottom (not there yet), and cursing at kids that walk across my lawn (don't witness that too often). Maybe I should just take up knitting and bingo. But knitting takes memory I think, pearl 1, pearl -what number was I on? Crap, I'm screwed. I think it's time for a drink. Where did I put that bottle?

Hey, I am much older than you... I remember someone telling me that 'I had too much on my plate'... and at the time I did.. Now, I am a bit forgetful but I think its because I am distracted w/an issue w/my son... and trying to figure out how to remedy it... could that be your case as well? U're only 40 omg.. I would love to shed 16 years off and be 40 again.
ReplyDeleteI must say I love being 40. I still feel like I am in my 20s, but I am a lot wiser now. This memory thing, I am not sure what it is. Maybe I am distracted by something. I just got laid off recently, but before that work was no longer fun, there was constantly tension in the air. Maybe now that I am away from a tense environment my memory will get better.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Erika and I am 37 and I think we may become Bff's. I used to have the memory of a vault. It was amazing and like my special superpower and then after baby #2 I have lost it completely.
My husband bought me a notpad that hangs on our bathroom door handle because I would think of things in the morning, but forget them on the way to the kitchen to write it down.
There should be a support group for us, but we would all forget the name of it!
