Should be subtitled "Or what's left of it"
Is it cos I'm stressed? (to be sung to the tune of Moose T)
Is it because I'm getting old?
Is it because I've got way too much work on?
Is it a sign of my own personal doom?
Today I was lecturing at a local university, part of my lecture was on memory loss and mild cognitive impairment in neurological disorders.
I drove all the way home and found I'd left my laptop there.
Do you think I could take my mum's appointment at the memory clinic? Save it going to waste.

About Me
- auntiegwen
- When I started this blog in 2007 I was a single parent with 3 children aged 14, 11 and 10. Now in 2016, every one of those children has grown up and left home. I now live with my lovely best friend, my second and last husband and fellow blogger Mr Adventures in Reality and part of the time with the boy wonder, the one he made earlier. We try and outwit the offspring, do the house up and travel as much as we can.

Nooooooo......aren't there any drugs we can take????
I can't access the travelzoo thingy..will try this weekend and come back to you about the spa ...
we obviously need to relax more..our brains are getting frazzled.....either relax more or drink more....I know which way I'm going this weekend.x
Libs - Happy wine night xx have emailed you re spa its £55 with 3 treatments for the day :) xx
I think it's just a sign that there is too much in your hesd right now. Our brain capacities aren't infinite. The laptop was bottom of the memory ladder. Could have been worse, could have been a phone call from school saying "are you collecting your child today?" Which would have been even more worrying because that would mean you forgot to mention on blog there was a child of child collecting age to be collected....I'll stop now, I've lost the plot.
KV - please join me, my plot is clearly lost
I'm a nightmare when it comes to memory and heavily rely on written word reminders. Anywhere. Ink on
paper/walls/skin. I've been out with my arms covered in notes - one
neater than the other, of course.
It's stress. It's GOT to be stress.
Lena - I have a book that I write everything down in
Gigi - yep, Mrs Stressy is my new name
Definitely stress. I left my memory on a beach in Co Wexford about 10 years ago. And forgetting things just makes you more stressed, it's horrible xx
I have appalling memory, short term and long term. So I am list woman. I write on my arms, I have notice boards and post it notes and still I forget things. I'm with KVille at least you hadn't forgotten a child and it sounds like you managed to deliver a lecture without forgetting why you were there half way through
Look on the bright side:
a) you could drive yourself home
b) you remembered where home actually was
Sending hugs and strength.

You're on the right road ha, ha ha. It only gets worse. I once showed up for classes (as an adult returning to University) with 2 different shoes on, they weren't even close in looks.
Yep...just stress. Beat the husband to relax...(sorry Andy)
I'm blooming' awful too. I am pretty good about writing things down instead of attempting in a pathetic kind of way, to commit them to memory. Trouble is, I have about four different jotters and I can never remember where I've written what. I need a 'system".
You didn't add - is it because I like gin? Lx
Looking at the comments it would seem we are all the same. For me, it's forgetting what I'm saying. I get half way through a sentence and
LFBS - I hate forgetting things
Mrs W - oh yes, the lecture went very well, just looked like a total fail when I had to phone them up and ask if my laptop was there!
LCM - ah yes, I can always find my way home (for now...)
M&J - I'm sure people thought it was a style statement :)
MB - Oh I would never hit the Andrew, the Andrew feeds me :)
Expat Mum - I have only 1 book, it's really all I could manage
Lu - ah you sussed me, but weekends only for alcohol; sober as anything in the week x
Trish - want to join me and Libby's middle aged lady club?
