Let's see... yes I can step into this arena... Just this week I went to the grocery store, got my bag of provisions plus a 12 pack of toilet paper (covid era PTSD + IBS =nothing smaller than a 12 pack) Got home, unpacked groceries... and I can't even say what tipped me off that I didn't have the TP, but then realized I didn't have the TP. "I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave a 12-pack of TP at the store!" I said to myself, since the time I'd left the kitty litter in the cart it was days later and too late to go back. (Apparently, whatever I put in that bottom part of the cart goes out of sight-out-of mind) Went back and had to explain. Miraculously, I actually had taken and kept the receipt. Returned with my toilet paper.
It was a literary endeavor though, because I got to listen to 24 more minutes of Elissa Altman's Permission in the car (so good!)
And now, after my lunch break, it's back to editing my next episode of Daring to Tell with none other than your very own Viking Jewess... yes, Ms. Nina Lichtenstein, reading from her new memoir! It's a good one folks! (will be out on Tuesday!)
(Is it shameless self promotion, if I'm promoting Nina?)
Too many "classic me" moments to count or recall. How about the time I traveled to Boston for a work meeting, drove 30 miles before realizing I forgot my laptop, told my partner to meet me at the rest stop which was another 10 miles out of both of our ways. Having got my laptop back, I searched for my car keys. Of course they were in the restroom trash. Meno brain fog? Or Classic Catherine?
OMG LOL, me and you sister! I have had to retrieve my keys from trash cans on several continents...Yeah, my sister was beside herself with the NEW expereince of meno brain fog, and I had to tell her, welcome to the club: where I have been since childhood! (uh, not the meno but the brain on hold part)
Are you not going to tell us that everything is okay, per the neurologist?? You can't put absent-minded in one graf, a neurologist in the next and not give us a result! Oy.
