When I went to Sam's Club the other day, I bought tuna. Canned tuna. 10 cans of canned tuna with The Bumble Bee Lable. I rarely buy 10 cans of tuna, but since this was in water, I thought it ought to be good for me. 150 calories in the whole can! How could I go wrong? Today I flipped to the news online and guess what! My tuna is recalled! Recalled! So I get my tuna cans out and search for the recall lot #. After due time I find it and I am saved only by the sell by date. But, this process took 15 minutes out of my day. See?
Just now I went down to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and then had to come back upstairs because I forgot my cup. I searched for that cup and started a load of clothes and went back down to get a cup of coffee and remembered I left my cup upstairs so I came up and looked for it up here and finally remembered that I took it to the kitchen when I went to get the tuna. See?
When I leave this morning to dash into town, I will forget my phone. If I may hap remember the phone, I will forget what I am going to town for in the first place. So I make a list and forget the list. The first curve after 25th Lane on the way to town is known as the "oh, shit!" curve because that is where I always turn around and come back to the house to get whatever it is that I forgot.
Every day I promise I will do better, but those are empty words. Today I do need to call and see when my doctor appointment is, because it is not in my calendar. I put the card some where and wrote it some where, but God only knows where that might be.
My mother always said that as long as I remember the daily things, like hygiene, eating, people I deal with daily, and things I do on a regular basis that I am alright, but I am not so sure. I have stopped in the middle of a sentence and forgotten where I was going with that thread and launched off on something that popped in to replace the first thought.
My world is full of "Sorry, I forgot," and "Damn when did I say that?" and, "Refresh my memory on that again." So far I have not forgotten anything that was earth shattering, although I did get on 1 25 the other day and had to get off suddenly when I remembered that I was going to Canon City and not Colorado Springs! Guess I just had the Springs on my mind. I have not stepped out in front of a Mack Truck, but that is because I am rarely around Mack Trucks.
So I have this to say...
If I see you some where and do not recognize you, refresh my memory.
If you are one of my kids and I do not recognize you, don't take it personally.
If we had an appointment and I stood you up, call me.
If I have something that belongs to you and I have not returned it, come and get it.
If you have something that belongs to me, go ahead and keep it because I probably bought 3 more to replace what ever it was.
As it is I have forgotten why I even started this little spiel, so I guess I will just go down and get a cup of coffee!
Have a great day, because you deserve it!
