Your Best Brain Fog Memories

[PlateletGal]

A just for fun thread ! What are some of your best brain fog memories ? I guess mine would be talking to someone on the phone and then, in the middle of your conversation with this person, you forget what you were talking about. Let's see... I also will put things in the wrong place. For instance, I put the cheese cupboard and put the cheese grater in the refrigerator. I think I've done that more than once, but I don't remember !  ; ^ )

Last year I forgot my sister's birthday.  I know that happens to people sometimes, but her birthday is the SAME DAY as mine!

Today was a really rough morning, and I had to have my class covered for the beginning of the day. The kids were still at morning Mass when I arrived.  I was more than a little surprised to see "Happy Birthday" banners around the room and a couple of gift bags.  In my fogged state, I thought perhaps I'd forgotten my OWN birthday!  Turned out, it had been a typo in the weekly parent memo, and what should have been a 19 came out as a 10.  However, it was the greatest "unbirthday" ever.  I'd been thinking about posting a thread about how to battle the despair that comes with my flare-ups, but that little typo gave me the answers I needed.  One of the kids gave me a little book from the Dollar Store entitled "Happy Birthday."  It was Bible passages and inspirational quotes.  I'm going to head to the store myself and buy them out, because the lift that book gave me is definitely something I want to pass on to others.

It just goes to show that, like stress makes us feel worse, joy and laughter is the best medicine.

Heres one: I was running bath water, but the bath didn't seem like it was filling up with water. I let the water run long enough that there was no hot water anymore. AND the bath still wasn't filling! I was so confused, then I realized: I HADN'T PLUGGED THE BATH TUB! lol I cracked up for about five minutes, then waited for the water to warm up.

You all are cracking me up!

I just remembered the time I wrote a Drs. appt. on the calendar on a Thursday as "thrs.". When the day came I didn't know what Dr. or what time my appt. was because all that was written on that day was "thrs." the day it was.  I had to call all the Drs. I was seeing at the time to see who I had an appt. with.

Well one good thing about the brain fog is; we can all hide our own easter eggs ;)

I have MANY brain fog moments...one is putting the MILK back in the pantry and the CEREAL in the fridge !! One of my husbands "favorites" (being highly sarcastic) is not signing the checks or forgetting to put the check in the envelope when I pay the bills...

My main complaint about brain fog is being SO FORGETFUL!!! I have to ask myself...over and over...everyday..."Did I do that?" or "Did I do this already?" My husband will ask me If I did a certain something...I can't remember If I did it or not!!!

It is good to know I'm not alone...and I wish all of you the best in fighting this and hopefully today will be a better day for you!!  ;)
