…I Forgot.

I forgot where I put my round rolling brush.

I forgot what I did with that mini-MP3 recorder that I wanted to use to get down a song idea in a pinch.

I forgot to tell Sarah that we, in fact, were coming over to hang out.

I forgot what time my college girls were arriving to watch movies. And I forgot if I was supposed to cook them dinner.

I forgot that I told another Sarah that we’d go for coffee one Thursday evening.

I forgot what I told Drew to grab from the grocery store.

I forgot to eat breakfast.

I forgot the other thing that I wanted to add to this list, so now I’m just making stuff up.

But I really have forgotten to eat breakfast.

I don’t know what the heck is going on with me, but I’ve been rather forgetful for about 3 months now. At least, I think that’s about how long… I’ve forgotten when it really started…

So, if you are in my life, and I’ve somehow managed to forget something important to you in the last 12 weeks, please forgive me. I’m working on a solution to the problem. And I really do love you. You are MUCH more important to me than my actions (and/or memory) have communicated…

And, if I forgot to apologize for my forgetfulness: I’m sorry. I really am.

  1. i totally understand, and can relate. i’ve been feeling like my brain is fuzzy and foggy for months now. i walk away from conversations and immediately forget the details of what we just spoke about. i have to take notes in my counseling sessions even because otherwise as soon as i’m out the door, i won’t remember any of it. i go to the store and forget what i wanted to look for. i have the constant nagging sense that there’s something i should be doing that i’m not, and i can’t remember what it is.

    ugh.

    so i understand.

    and i love you.

  2. Boy can I relate with you and Alece. It drives me crazy! My forgetfullness is one of the things that has finally made my husband see that things just aren’t right with me. It is one of the symptoms to this strange unknown illness that I have.

    I think I am just getting old. :)

  3. Whew! I was terrible like that when I was pregnant. My poor husband; I don’t know how he survived it. I forgot him at work, forgot to take him food when he was depending on me, and generally forgot everything I didn’t write down.

    When this happened to me a couple of years ago in college, I took flax oil by the spoonfuls (yuck!) and it worked very well. If it doesn’t clear up, try an EPT or some flax oil. ;)

  4. When did you turn 30? ;-)

    My forgetfullness came when I started having babies. They LITERALLY suck the brain matter from you. :lol:

    By the way, you forgot to loan me that $100 you promised me.

  5. Well, you haven’t forgotten to blog, so I don’t think you’ve gone off the deep end yet. :shock:

    I like the blame all of my forgetfulness on the pain meds, personally. :)

  6. When I had my stroke at 41 in 2007, I lost alot of my short term memory,

    Who’s blog am I on?

    Actually, you see it alot, my typos… I’m usually a perfectionist writer, but I get lost and forget and there goes a vowel or two…

    Where was I???

    Girl, take acai juice and do crosswords… does wonders trust me!!!

  7. I wouldn’t worry at all about your forgetfulness, it’s probably just Alzheimer. :)

    I once had to give an important presentation at work and left my notes, and about a months worth of work, on a train.

    Memory is all about focus, which is hard for every one in this fast paced world.

    The only important thing is that you don’t forget to tell the important people in your life “I love you.”
