Hi all. Had one of my most annoying brain fog thingies this morning. In shower, washed my hair with shampoo, intended to put on conditioner. and rinse it off…By the time I’ve dried off I couldn’t remember whether I actually used the conditioner!
This sort of thing happens quite often now - like my most immediate short term memory facility is faulty.
Thank for your contribution to this thread. Please don’t mention your personal hygiene again; there are are specialist web-sites that cater for that sort of thing.
I’d probably diagnose a bout of “Selective Daytime TV Amnesia”. It’s a surprisingly common problem reported as a side effect of watching TV; instead of healthy outdoor pursuits. I enjoy a bracing tour of Hampstead Heath Common twice a day; polished off with a dip in the lido with new found friends.
Paradoxically, the preferred treatment is to join the Merchant Navy as an engineer. This will ensure that your body clock will be so comprehensively jiggered by the marine watch system that you won’t have the foggiest idea what day it is, let alone the time.
I blame Lovejoy. I’m ok till I’ve watched that then the brain fog takes over and I can’t remember my a from my e.
I dragged my dodgy leg up to the co-op the other day and the nice lady who helps me said ‘Are you ok, do you need any help?’ and I had to tell her I couldn’t remember why the heck I had come up or what it was for. So I went home and watched Where the Heart is in the hope of restoring the balance!
Fortunately, everyone who knows me and especially family know that I have always been a bit woo on the remembering and sensible side so for me and them, it’s not much different to before.
