OP, I can relate, especially when I'm not getting good sleep. I'm in bed, ready to sleep around 10:20 pm most nights, but since it's now legal to sell fireworks in Des Moines, I'm awakened about 11:30 pm by some bozos down the street setting them off. Not only that, it upsets my cat, too. I don't know exactly which house it is (and it might be several) or I'd turn them in. It's not legal to shoot them off until the actual 4th of July.

So I'm back to walking into rooms and forgetting what I went in there to do.

I hate it when I'm this way! I resort to carrying about a notebook and a mini pen. I jot down tasks and things I want to find online. It helps somewhat.

No, I'm sure. But I con myself. I sign on to do X, but say I'm going to just "check" C-D Forums, and then totally forget X. Why, because I didn't want to do X in the first place.

If I forget what I am supposed to be doing I always know I can come on CD and be assured someone here will tell me what it is.

I do the same thing! I have notepads next to my chair by the TV and by the computer because I just KNOW I'll forget what I wanted to look up the minute I leave that page!

I am in bed due to health issues. Took 18 hrs off from work this week.
Cannot go anywhere or do anything yet except I did slip out to go shopping at the health food store a while ago

Not retired yet but I come on here to make sure I'm 1 day closer.

I have learned a great amount about SSI.
