I think that Ozzie is right about the memory losses resulting from our conditions and/or meds. My memory has gotten incredibly weak over the past year, since my "breakdown". My long-term memory is ok, but many times in a single day I forget why I went from one room to another, that I have an appointment, to deliver messages, what day of the week it is, etc.. Yesterday, I thought it was still November.

My family found this absent-mindedness hilarious until I burned our cream style corn black on Thanksgiving day, while I blissfully rocked and sang to my grandson in the next room. Recovery operations are still underway on the pot!

About an hour ago, I was spot-cleaning a shirt in the bathroom sink and I forgot that I had lit a candle on the countertop.......until I saw the flames coming from the shirt. I also started to mopm the kitchen earlier today, but just now remembered it when I saw the mopping supplies. It's like that all the time with me.

It is very embarrassing and troublesome to be so forgetful, but it may just be a cross that we'll have to bear.
