Why am I in this room?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Fricken menopause 😭

Came in here on a mission and now I've forgotten.

Have retraced my steps. Nope.
Teenagers have no idea.
Wracked my brains. Nope.
Racked my brains. Nope.
(Never sure on that one )

FYI:

I'm mid-latish 40s.
In the cellar.
Brunette with skunk accents 🙄.
FGOSH.
Furloughed af.
Covid fatigued.
Slightly sturdy.
In need of a stuff drink.

Off on a dog meander now, my mental inadequacies will be bugging me the whole time.

Any suggestions?

I don't know why you're there but I find going back to the last room you were in helps.

Checking after hearing something? Smelling something odd?

I love your self description OP. And with the rest, I hear ya sister!!

Cellar? You are going to raid the secret wine stash AND drink it down there in peace and bloody quiet! Cheers!

Is it a wine cellar?

Same here!
I'm considering carrying a notebook so I can write down what I'm intending to do!

Nearly 34 weeks pregnant and OH MY GOD YES! I’ve even started opening files on my computer and then thinking “what was I looking in this file for?”

Try to forget racking your brains and it will come to you!

If you're in the cellar then I would hope that you store bottles of wine in there. Grab one, take it to the kitchen, grab a glass and pour yourself a drink.

Is your freezer in there? Did you need to get something out to defrost? Check the boiler? Wine cellar?

You wanted to tell someone something.

You are looking for the auto-biography you were sure was near your chair. As you were, that was me

I read somewhere (no idea where ) that walking backwards to where you came from (ie just reversing out of the room again) helps remind your brain what it was you were doing.

Pretend you don’t want to know. Act completely disinterested. Then your brain will tell you. 😉

You were collecting yourself a large glass of something.

Narp. All alcohol and dairy based frozen treats are in a repurposed coal bunker, though now I have Regrets. Would love to be able to say I was nipping to the bespoke wine cellar In a Hyacinth fashion .

Nopes, none of those senses involved I believe.

The inevitableness of losing the notebook is written in the stars.

Walkung backwards, nope.

Playing hard to get is a hard nope, Arriety.

Le sigh.

When this happens to me I think it's the cat playing Jedi mind tricks on me.

I'm telling you now, doorframe steal thoughts.
