Good thing, hubby entered the bathroom and switch it off. I forgot to buy hubby's meds when that was the reason I was at the Mercury Drug Store, bought groceries instead. and I forgot there's no maid to cook our dinner at 9 p.m. the other day, he he...Maybe I should take Memory Plus or glutaphos daily.

Then I post it on my pc monitor. This way, as soon as I get up, I am immediately reminded. Somehow, this has become a routine that I can't sleep without posting my list first. But I also tend to get caught with multi-tasking sometimes, especially when unexpected eventualities arise during the day. :) I list down things I need to do the following day on a post-it pad.

On a trip to Naga, when we were about to leave for the beach, I kept on asking myself what I have forgotten. Yaiks! I forgot that since I had no nanny with me and I had to pack our things, I left my daughter with my aunt who lives right behind our house. Major senior moment, and I'm not even 40. Housekeys--I go bonkers over those too. sigh. My absent-mindedness is so much worse. On a trip to Naga, when we were about to leave for the beach, I kept on asking myself what I have forgotten.
