Generally lighthearted - for all those with baby brain, menopause-induced brain fog, or experiencing senior moments...
Since peri kicked in, my once razor sharp mind has turned to shit, and it's really horrible to not be able to rely on myself any more... Examples include:
- Locking myself out of the car / house (more than once..)
- Driving off and forgetting to pay for petrol (obvs stumped up once recovery letters started arriving)
- (Almost) walking out of shops without paying
- Forgetting to turn off oven overnight
- Scheduling shopping deliveries for wrong day
- Completely blanking what anyone has told me unless I write it down. This includes "big" things like pregnancy announcements.
- Or just forgetting what I'm doing or why I've walked into a room
In my worst moments I think I'm getting early onset Alzheimers. Maybe I am!
Please make me feel better by sharing your similar cock-ups...
