I never thought I would forget THIS!

Oh nooooooooo!  I was sitting in my office this afternoon, starving, tummy growling and everything.  Then I realized I went to the cafeteria and bought my lunch at noon, and FORGOT TO EAT IT!!!!  So at 2:30 this afternoon, I had a lukewarm bowl of chicken soup. . . .

LOL. A month ago I got up, and forgot to take a shower! I did the usual morning routine (coffee, brekkie, fed cat, got ready for work...) and didn't realize I hadn't showered until I actually tried to blow dry my hair.

Have an extra cup for me ;)

Wow Debbie! I sure do hear you and feel your pain. I tell everyone that the main reason I carry my drivers license is so I can read it to remember my own name and address.

There are days it does feel like we're all headed for the Alzheimers home but once the panic stops and we feel a bit more normal we still realize it's fibro. There is one good thing to all of this memory problem though...if by chance we do get a touch of senility or dementia, who will know the difference?!! We'll just laugh all the way to the basket weaving lessons with our chainsaw in hand.

I have fixed myself  two lovely cups of boiling water this week with no tea bag.  Hmmm.  One time I can understand, but twice in one day?  I also went grocery shopping, brought one bag in and left the rest in the car.

Thanks for the smile reading your post generated. I think we can all relate, Debbie. I have made coffee on more than one occasion that came out very weak. Uh...as in no coffee at all. I forget to put the ground coffee in the filter of the coffee maker. The other day I put one of my bowls in the cabinet with my baking goods. I was looking all over for that darn bowl. I remembered taking it out of the dishwasher. I found it a day or two later. LOL I walked out of work the other day, going to lunch. Only one problem. I forgot to take my purse. Oh, my...........Best Wishes, V

I love coffee too, but I'm known for leaving half full cups all over the house. It's not that I'm a slob, it's just that I put one down for a minute, and then I can't remember where I put it, so I pour another one...and so on.

Oh, and here's something ironic - my husband (who is sharp as a tack) likes to drink a tea he calls a "London Fog". I told him I'd have to change the name to Fibro Fog if I drank it!

Yes, I have the same problem and it seems to be getting worse. Our dishwasher started leaking and water was all over the floor. I went and told my husband, and he asked if I had laid down a towel to dry it up. It didn't even occur to me to do that. It was an "Oh, yeah" moment. I went back in and dried it all up. DOH!!

Oh, life! This one wasn't in the serious category, in fact, it made me laugh out loud. I sneezed, which meant that, as usual, I had stuff in my throat to spit out. So, I'm walking by the kitchen sink, but instead of spitting into it, I blew into it! :)

I know what you mean by that "tight" feeling, Frankey. I'm getting it now, too - hate it! I've been to the chiropractor twice in the last couple of weeks, but for some reason, it's not working. I've used up all my visits covered by insurance, so now it'll be $45 - have to put that off for awhile if I can.

I feel so much better now. Yesterday I ran up to the store for my husband and got half way to the front door of the store and turned to hit the lock button on my key to the van and couldn't find my keys to do so, and that's when I realized I left them in the ignition and the van running. dah...

This is really kind of bad. I got home from work this evening, and was rushing to take my meds before leaving for church. I was talking to my husband, and popped a bp pill. As soon as I swallowed it down, I knew I had screwed up! I take a strong time-released pill in the morning, and a different kind of bp med in the evening. Well...tonight I took my morning pill...twelve hours too soon. Good thing I didn't pop the other bp med too...you know, the one I was supposed to take this evening. If I would have done that, I would have been in the emergency room. I called the pharmacist and he told me what to watch for. I went to the church meeting and got a little lightheaded, so I had some diet coke, then some more diet coke, then some more diet coke...I feel pretty good now. I am going to pay much closer attention to my pills from now on. I have to take so many, that I guess I just stopped paying as close attention as I need to. Yikes!

Okay...I fell asleep on the couch and jerked awake, looked at the clock and thought it was seven in the morning.  After making coffee and wondering where the hubby was because he wasn't in the bed...wondering why I was still in my clothes...I realized it was seven at night.  It took me a half hour to 'get it'.

Only you would remember that one, Sherrine...LOL!  The dogs heart worm pills were in a white blister pack sitting next to my pills which were samples and also in a blister pack.  I grabbed the dog's pills and took one...not even thinking about how much bigger they seemed.  I did call poison control and the vet.  The only thing that happened is I didn't get heartworm. (But I did have the urge to pee on the mail box for about a week.)

Sherrine...do the words 'foam rollers' ring a bell...and how about 'nursing while on meds'.  OMG...I am laughing just thinking about it.
