I Remember Everything, It's My Memory That Forgets!
69“Rack’n Frack’n remote!!” I was attempting to change the channel on my TV, and wondered why the remote wasn’t working; after all, I just put fresh batteries in it. I looked at the remote; pressed random buttons, still nothing; I looked at it again…it’s my cell phone!
I wanted to believe…okay, I prayed that I am not the only person who has done this; especially after looking at the cell phone and STILL think that it’s the remote. I have yet to decide if I’m angry at myself, my cell phone, or the remote. I will likely be angry at all three; at myself for thinking that my cell phone is the remote; at the cell phone for looking like the remote (actually it doesn’t…this is MY story) and at the remote…just because.
Sometimes my memory forgets to remember. For example: Stay with me…okay…this is a doozy! There was a time that if I went upstairs for something, and forgot what I went upstairs for, I could simply return downstairs, and suddenly remember why I went upstairs in the first place. Now, when I go upstairs and forget why I’m there, I return downstairs to remember, and I do remember; only now, once I get back upstairs… I’ve forgotten again!
There is one positive spin to this…I am getting a heap of exercise! I can only laugh at myself…actually I say a few choice words, and then I laugh. I try to look at things with a different perspective, so I won’t think that I’m nuts! In some way it helps, in other ways…I might be just a little frightened of myself!
I went to the market the other day; it seems I am there an awful lot. I went to buy something for dinner, and ended up with nothing but cleaning supplies. We might’ve been hungry, but we were surely clean as a whistle! See? That’s called looking on the bright side.
I hope that this isn’t a sign of early onset anything! Maybe I should start writing things down. I dunno…I can only imagine myself forgetting the note…and going back upstairs!

precy anza...so I'm not alone?! Once I was looking for my keys for what seemed like EVER, and they were right in my hand...balled up in a tissue!
Thanks for your comment, and letting me know that I'm not alone...I feel better already!
Put the notes in your remote... I mean cell phone!
You know I'm going to try my cell phone first, and after looking at it TWICE, wonder why it isn't working!
A good idea...I haven't thought of that...Thanks!
Your definitely not alone! And I know there's other people out there who has these experienced too :)
Isn't it interesting how most of us feel so much better when we learn others share our, shall I say deficiencies. Very funny, my dear, just became a fan.
Thanks drbj! It's true, I honestly felt alone on this one, until I shared, and the flood gates are opening up.
We're all rowing the same boat...I just hope for our sake that at least one of us remembers where we are rowing to!
I lick my lips everytime I see anew post from you. You would have been a gold star contributor to "Boy Was My Face Red" in the old Reader's Digest. But seriously, only worry if you forget what to do with the remote or how to use the telephone!!!
Thank you Auntie!! My life closely resembles a vaudeville act, or similar comedy routine!
It's likely that I won't worry about forgetting how to use the remote or the telephone...I'll forget to worry!
Hey there! Do not worry. Such craziness happens to the best of us.
iamaudraleigh...I don't worry...I'll forget anyway!
Ha ha. Well you've got so much going on in your brain, so many memories and such that it all just gets mixed up in there like one of those drawers we use as catch-alls. Or is that just what I like to tell myself?
Funny...I never thought of my mind as a junk drawer, but it is....shamefully it is! Hey "D"!
This was too funny... I was just thinking how much exercise you were getting before you said it... and then I was thinking that you should write it down and then walk upstairs... and then you said it again. So we must think alike... or maybe we do the same things! ;)
Believe it or not barbergirl28, I could keep up with what you said better than I can my own memory! LOL
imatellmuva, I understand it well. It has happened with me too so many times now that I have lost count. sometimes while driving I drive past the place I'm supposed to visit all the while wondering where I was headed for. Other times, I forget what I was to buy while shopping.
I enjoyed reading.
Thanks.
rajan jolly, I have done that too...ahem...I do that too!
You and I are rowing the same boat, which in our case is not such a good idea!
We would likely row in opposite directions and wonder why we aren't going anywhere! LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!

Lol. Had experienced those too. Would go to the kitchen and forgot why I'm there. One more thing is combing my hair, comb on my hair and decided to do something real quick. Later on it was so annoying looking for that comb. And it was stuck there in my hair. ^-^'
