So although I lost my bank statements so couldn't balance my checkbook
And although it took twice as long to pay bills (OK longer than that..lol) I finally got it done so I can mail them while in town today.
At three this morning I woke up and my brain gave me a picture of the stack of envelopes waiting to be mailed.
I had very diligently put the return address labels on, but evidently forgot the stamps.
Do you think the post office is giving special "free" delivery rates for Lymies. (after all, it's march, and I'm a Lymie on both counts!!)
I got up and put the stamps on, cause I was afraid I'd forget by morning.
What brain glitches do you have?

Does mailing the envelope without anything in it count?

Every day last week I told my husband I had taken chicken out of the freezer to thaw for dinner.
And every single night I went to make dinner and guess what? I hadn't!
LOL! By Saturday I realized we didn't even have chicken in the freezer anyway.

Gee...looks like I'm with good company! I do stuff all the time. Last night I made the kids a snack and one for myself. My husband was outside taking the trash out for pickup and I completely forgot to make him anything. He came in and I apologized, said I would make it.
I got a glass of water for one child and sat down to eat. He came in again and said he was starving I apologized again and said I forgot and would do it. Then I got sidetracked again for a second and completely forgot.
Finally the third time he came in, I finally got up and cut up some apples and peanut butter for him!
Normally, he could do it himself, but he's a one handed man lately due to a contusion on his hand.

How about brushing your teeth with hand lotion? Or finding your empty yogurt container in the fridge with the spoon still stuck in it?
or paying for items at the checkout and then leaving your purchases.
I could go on and on.
Oh! Oh! looking all over for your glasses for at least a half hour. Blaming your little dog for taking them, only to discover........you're wearing them!!

I was eating breakfast this morning, and my son asked for some apple juice. I got up to get it, and by the time I got across the kitchen to get the apple juice, I had forgotten why I was up.
So I did a bunch of other things till my son said, "Mom, I still don't have a drink."
So I went to the fridge to get the apple juice and then started thinking of something else.
I almost forgot his juice again.
Other than that, just dumb stuff like putting leftovers in the microwave instead of the fridge, or heating something in the microwave and then leaving it there until the next time I need to heat something.
Oh, and the nursery workers at church are ALWAYS having to remind me to leave the diaper bag. I take the darn thing along in to church with me.

I did get the stamps on the envelopes before I mailed them.
Still haven't found the bank statements. I just hope they are still in the house somewhere.
The best thing is, my husband and I both have Lyme. You should see the conversations where neither one of us can figure out what the other one means.
Fortunately, we love each other, so we laugh it off. It will get better. =)

You know, this morning I was getting my morning cup of coffee.
I had my mug there, and my son's cup happened to be sitting next to it.
As I'm getting ready to pour the half and half into my son's cup, I was thinking, "I shouldn't be putting half and half in his cup,"
but I kept pouring anyway. Sheesh!
I don't think he would have appreciated that first thing in the morning.
And then when I got into the chiropractor, I went to sign in and couldn'th think of who I was supposed to be signing in.
Scary!

You know what's scary?
Sometimes when I go to pick up my kids at the church nursery, I look at the 30+ kids in my younger son's room and forget which one is mine.

STARFALL,
yes, it would be close to early alzheimer's disease.
my youngest brother's wife died at age 40, yes 40, of early AD; she had this between 8-14 years.
she was never able to talk about her illness nor how she was feeling; i tried.

Hey everyone, I finally found the bank statements! Granted a month after I had gotten copies from the bank. They were misfiled in another folder. So that's one mystery solved...twenty more to go!! LOL
Betty, your sister in law dying at 40 of AD makes me wonder if it was something else that mimicked it. And she had it for many years. That's very young.
So many illnesses that they don't understand, and I'm sure so many they haven't even discovered yet. Regardless of the cause, very,very sad, and so sorry for you loss.
Starfall, I once asked a Mom I was chatting with whose girlscout troop she was in, and after an embarrassing moment realized she was in mine. (even more scary, I was the GS leader)
Considering I'd had undiagnosed Lyme for about 5 years at that point, I forgive myself. =)
Still brain glitching, but with our daughter's wedding day Saturday, and being treated for Lyme disease, I'm blessed just to be upright. I'm not even worried about the brain glitches.
