Ever get side tracked ?

[Rollin Thunder]

I find my self constantly doing that.

Back when I lived in Michigan my garage was 20 yards from my deck out back.

Walk out the door wall and down 2 step and then 5 more walking step to the service door.

That's what I did to go out there and get 1 thing I was working on.

I walked out there and got to my work bench an asked myself ok why did I come out here.

I was only 54 at the time and couldn't remember why I was out there :xzqxz:.

Walked back in the house an wala I remembered walked back out there and opened the door.

Doing so I kick something under the work bench bent over to get it an forgot what i wanted :gah:.

Goes back in the house and stood there for a min and then it came back to me.

So out I go to get it no matter what.

BUT !! I wrote it down thank God cause the phone in the garage rang lol.

Ever happen to you or come close ? lol

After I ask myself “Why am I here” I open the fridge and get a beer. Slowly it all comes back .....

Its commonly referred to as the Doorway Effect and happens to everyone.

Happens but I don't like it... This forgetting thing really ticks me off... So much so I work at memorizing things and directions places and things. Staying focused and mentally active. So I decided to go back to work to stay active, and for me it certainly helps, Thank the Good Lord I can physically do it. I daily Take Quality grade Co-Q-10,(memory) omega 3 fish oil,(heart) Red yeast Rice, (glucose) a Quality Multi-vitamin(general health), Vitamin C,(immune system) Glusomine Chondroitin (joints) just sayin Fred and one prescribed Metformin for of course pre diebietes...

Had a coworker named Crazy Joe. He said he was tired of finding things the last place he looked. So he started looking one more place after he found what he was looking for.

I was 74 once. I think it was 3, or maybe 4 years ago!

Forgetting stuff is a normal part of aging. But having a wife that forgets NOTHING is a PITA and she's older than I am.
