Sometimes My Brain Stops Working
I think my brain stops working sometimes. It’s as if my body is moving but there’s no one home. Here are a few recent examples.
1. I went downstairs from my condo to get my mail. When I got back, I couldn’t open my door. I kept turning the lever but door won’t open. Then my brain started to come alive. Maybe I should just unlock the door using the key I was holding in my hand.
2. When I watch TV and change channels during the commercials, I rarely remember what I was watching originally. So I end up watching something else. Sometimes I’ll stumble back to the the show I was watching originally as I’m flipping through the channels again. Now I rarely change channels (especially when I’m watching Walking Dead).
3. I will soon resort to tying my reading glasses to my “thing”. It’s the only way for me not to lose my reading glasses. But I know I’ll end up tying my remote controls, wallet etc… to it. Hmm… I wonder if that will stretch my “thing”?
4. If I don’t write down when I put something in the oven, I will never remember it. I have a timer on my iPhone but keep forgetting to check it.
5. Don’t even ask me about passwords. I can remember my ATM password, a few of my online passwords and believe it or not, my student number from university. As for the rest, I think I will have to write them down on my “thing”.
6. I was doing laundry and noticed I didn’t have enough for a full load. It was towards the end of the day so I figured I would just toss in what I was wearing. Then I realized the blinds were up. I ran to my bedroom to put on some clothes. It’s a good thing I haven’t attached my glasses and remote controls to my “thing” yet.
I need some brain pills.

…or else spend less time with your “thing.” It seems that there a number of other appendages available for attachment.
For cooking things, I’ve found that an old-fashioned kitchen timer, or even using the timer setting on the microwave, is really useful. That way, it goes off when it’s time to check on food that’s cooking and you actually have to go to the kitchen to turn it off. It works for me…and for people who lived in the 50s.
But, your brain isn’t so bad. My favorite is when people get freaked out about having lost their phone–and they’re using it to talk to someone. It gets me every time!
A kitchen timer works well — make sure, though, that it’s loud enough to hear!
I’ve been known to unlock my open door, sort of like not unlocking the locked door!
I think they sell “brain pills” at the pharmacy. They are blue in color.
HUGS!!!
lol. you poor thing. i’m bad with names and numbers, including street names and phone numbers. that includes my own home number
maybe you should watch less ‘walking dead’ and switch to something happier, something that’ll make you laugh. maybe that’ll ‘wake-up’ the brain more.
