relying on memory...

I've learned a valuable lesson in the past three days--my memory isn't as good as it used to be. Albeit, I was going on information deposited into the memory bank months ago, but still... *sigh* being a 40-something isn't always fun.

I thought I remembered correctly that I have my annual mammogram tomorrow. Thought it was in the afternoon. Remembered asking for some time off at school, getting a substitute to cover. Thought I asked for the entire day. Made another doctor appointment--because, hey, if I am taking the whole day I may as well get as much crammed into it as possible. Confirmed sub with assistant principal and had told him the wrong half of the day, and had only requested a half-day. That got fixed fast! Then I consulted my calendar to make sure I am dressed appropriately for the appointment (easy on-easy off and no deodorant) and realized I had the two appointments flip-flopped in my mind. I would have gone to the wrong appointment. Good thing I checked my calendar.

I am way to young to have memory issues. Way. Too. Young. This doesn't bode well.

  2. It probably has nothing to do with age and everything to do with stress. I forget things when I am super stressed - things like my social security number and my date of birth and my PIN number. Your memory is probably just fine - it's the beginning of a semester and it's a stressful time, I say.
