I'm losing my marbles

At lunchtime today my son called in on his way home from work. I offered him some lunch and he decided on soup.
I made him a cup of tea and opened the tin of soup while his tea was brewing.
Chatting away as I did so.
He looked bemused when I stuck the tea spoon into the tin of soup and stirred it, then placed the tin of soup in front of him on the table and stuck the tea in the microwave and set it going.
I asked him what the matter was when he started smirking, he said nothing mum.
He finally cracked when I took the tea out of the microwave, put it in front of him and asked him how many slices of bread he wanted with it.
I'm losing my marbles. I can't even claim baby brain as the youngest is 25!
I need to lay down in a darkened room. 😳

Make me feel better by telling me your brain melt moments....please.

I was cleaning my hall and I moved the mats, pushed the table back and lifted the shoe rack so that I could brush as much of the floor as possible and then for some reason I bent over and tried to push my staircase back, as though it was going to move.

I rang MIL about 8.30 one evening, we chatted for a while and then she said "I was surprised when you rang - I thought you were going out to the theatre this evening."

She was right. I was supposed to be at the theatre, and had paid quite a lot of money for the tickets. Bugger.

Laughing at you two here. Fancy trying to push a staircase or forgetting a night out. 😅
Maybe I'm not as bonkers as I feared. Hah.

The other day, grabbed my keys headed to the front door pressing my car key fob and stood there wondering why I can't hear the click that unlocks the door !

@IdeasofMarch. That reminds me of when I once rang my sister in law after she had her first born and there was no reply, so I phoned my mother in law to see if she was there.
My mother-in-law said no, but perhaps she was asleep? Did I want her to phone my sister-in-law to see, because if I phoned it might awaken the baby.
This was on a landline, prior to mobile phones.
I'm still trying to work that one out all these years later 😂

That sounds like the kind of thing I would do @VictoriaBun. Either that or try to put my car key into the front door lock 😂

I forgot my own dog at the vets... to be fair DH was grappling with other dog and trying to negotiate a one way traffic door system whilst also trying to compute the size of the bill.

For a few seconds I couldn't work out whose dog was making an enthusiastic beeline for me attached to the vet nurse.

I also lost my own car last week, friend rang to see if I needed a lift to pick it up. Hmm

And I thought losing my marbles was bad enough @Stayathomegardener😂

I went to work in my slippers. Purple fluffy ones. I don't often wear them so must have assumed I had shoes on my feet when I left.

I also pulled into my driveway, only it was the driveway of my old house that I hadn't lived in for 18 months.

I booked in for a dementia test after about 10 incidents like this happened in the space of a few months.

Last week I misplaced my phone whilst inside my home. I had not gone anywhere that day and had used it earlier so I knew it was in the house. After looking forever, I thought I was going crazy. Two hours later, I discovered that I had left cheese out on a shelf, and I had put my phone into the glass storage container for said cheese. The phone had been in my refrigerator for about 5 hours.

I made hummus yesterday. I opened the fridge to put it in, went to get the cling film and the fridge started beeping. I took the cling film to the fridge, popped it in, shut the door and went back to the worktop where I found the bowl of uncovered hummus. I then retrieved the cling film from the fridge after working out where I had put it, covered the bowl and returned the box of cling film to the fridge. It was as I was trying to put the hummus bowl into the drawer where the cling film lives that it occurred to me that something was still wrong. Blush

I was driving on a quiet road, no other cars around, approaching a junction where I was turning left. There was a cat walking acorss the road the other side of the junction so I put on my indicator to let the cat know I was going round the corner .
