I discovered that I can get busy and actually forget something! Totally unheard of for me. My mind is like a steal trap! I’ve always prided myself in that.
Monday, not so much.
I had a doctor’s appointment that I’d made some time ago. I’d written it down, and even got a reminder call last Friday. I was all ready for this appointment on Monday at 2 PM.
However, Monday found me slightly tired, with a scratchy eye, and actually puttering around getting things accomplished at home (like laundry, cooking and dog playing), and I totally forgot the doctor’s appointment!
He called me personally! He said in the 11 years that he has known me, I’ve never done that. This is true! I take being prompt and prepared very seriously. I apologized like crazy and I was embarrassed. How could I do that?
I’ve decided that it is menopause brain. Yep, I am going to blame that. For you youngsters out there, I swear there is something that happens when you are in the throws of menopause that causes your brain to freeze up.
Shockingly, mine did that on Monday.
I glanced at my calendar (after his call), and I now know I need to be prepared today and tomorrow for several appointments.
It’s odd. I think I will be very happy when the menopause bug passes and my brain returns. Won’t that be a happy day!
Don’t count on it……..sorry to say!!
Are sure our normal brain returns??! I can only hope so. You know I am right smack in the middle of menopausal brain.
Does it pass or is this the brain I’m left with? Because if it is that’s a pretty scary thought!
LOL! It happens, don’t worry about it too much! I love you even if you forget things, just don’t forget who I am! Love YOU, Mel
Lovely shot!!!
To forget a doctor’s appointment is a very good sign, that means that you feel well and don’t need a doctor ! Think positive, lol !
You mean after the loss of brain cells during pregnancy and baby-rearing, there is more to come? Or rather go????
love the photo! tehehehe
