Being a fool

[HaveSomeIntrospect]

On more than one occasion (too many to admit), I’ve been talking to people on my phone and getting very irrate/upset because I can’t find my mobile for whatever reason 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ (looking for the mobile phone that I’m using and holding to my ear ffs)!

Tonight I think I’ve hit a new low. I paused the tv, popped out for a second, came in, plugged my mobile in, and started looking everywhere for the tv remote so I could resume what I was watching. It got to the point where I started thinking that I’m going to have to reprogram the universal remote that I have in another room for another tv.

Can you guess where I found it?

(full disclosure, I’m 46 with no other symptoms of cognitive deterioration)

Well, as no one has asked… the remote was in my hand

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wouldn’t get too irritated with yourself. I was once so preoccupied I put a jug of milk on the ground outside the back door and it was only when the cat protested against being put into the fridge that I noticed. I was 21 and studying for my finals.

I have been known to start searching for my glasses when I am wearing them. Given that without them everything is a gentle blur, goodness knows where my brain has absconded to in those moments.

I've been looking for my keys twice in the past few days. I found them clutched in my left hand.

Welcome to peri menopause.

I have, on multiple occasions, began to text DH that I can't find my phone.

I've also, after a long day working through lots of edits, closed my laptop and had an urge to Control + F (search in text for a word) where something in my office is. Then felt really annoyed that it's not something I can do in real life. 😂

Yep, it’s not fun 🤦‍♀️
