Do you remember those TV commercials that depicted symptoms of dementia in the elderly?
The one I remember showed an older lady who couldn't find her keys because she had put them in her refrigerator.
Well, I just caught myself putting the loaf of bread into the cupboard that holds bags and waxed paper and plastic wrap. And then I put the box of bread bags into the freezer.
I think I may be in trouble...

Nah, your mind and body are just on different highways.
ReplyDeleteI am giggling! This runs rampant in our house....
ReplyDeleteGorges.....That's funny! Let's hope those highways intersect somewhere close!
ReplyDeleteOh, Mary. I'm so glad to hear that. I'm afraid that it's an ongoing condition here, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, that makes me a little concerned, since I put the ice cream in the microwave and was two steps away from closing the door, when I realized what I did.
ReplyDeleteWell, Jess.....I feel so much better now. I've done a lot of strange things, but I don't think I ever tried to nuke ice cream. I think when you actually start the microwave and I go ahead and freeze a box of bags, it will be time then to worry!
ReplyDeleteI'm doomed. Details are not important.
ReplyDeleteStephen.....There is always hope. I just tell people that I am eccentric.
ReplyDeleteMy kids have put jars of peanut butter in the fridge. Don't feel bad. Its the stress of winter. I suggest that you spend time tomorrow in the 70 degree temps and you will feel fine.
ReplyDeleteRob.....Can't let the 70 degrees go to waste! Good day to be out and about. Sometimes it is good to just be a little silly to offset the effects of such a long winter!
ReplyDeletei've been doing those types of thinggs since i was a kid [book in fridge, for example] and i'm sure i wasn't senile at that age.
ReplyDeleteit's just distraction. as long as whatever isn't actually dangerous you're okay.

Deborah.....It's those little quirks that keep life from becoming boring!
ReplyDeleteI have all sorts of systems worked out so I won't lose things. I have special places for things like glasses and keys. But sometimes, I put things down and say to myself, now remember, this is where you put this. Months later I stumble across the missing item by accident.
ReplyDeleteHarry.....I'm pretty good about a place for everything and all that. But it is when, like you, I put something away for safekeeping and then forget where it is. Like grandkid birthday cards. There are a couple of those that are still missing after a couple of years. Nobody will see those until after I die and the kids are cleaning out my apartment!!
ReplyDeleteThis comment section is therapeutic!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
Cathy.....Seems like no matter what silliness goes on in my life, there is always someone who will say, "Been there - done that, too!" It's nice to know that we are not alone.
ReplyDeleteVicki - My husbands mother had dementia for a few years before she died.
ReplyDeleteIt is an incredibly sad way to end a life.
I reckon you just need a good dose of sunshine after the winter you've experienced. Vit D always benefits the body :)
Dani...How very sad for both your family and your husband's mother. Having witnessed dementia first hand in my family, I understand completely.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just need to laugh a bit to offset the realities around us. Most of the time, the joke is on me and the silly things I catch myself doing.
