DR found this in a used magazine he bought from the library. I can relate to it, can you? A Little Mixed Up Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among the dead, Though I'm getting more forgetful And more mixed up, in the head. For, sometimes, I can't remember When I stand at foot of stair, If I must go up for something, Or I've just come down from there. And before the fridge, so often My poor mind is filled with doubt, Have I just put food away or Have I come to take some out? And there's times when it is dark out, With mynight cap on my head, I don't know if I'm retiring Or just getting out of bed. So, if it's my turn to write you, There's no need in getting sore. I may think that I have written And don't want to be a bore. So,remember--- I do love you And I wish that you were here, But now it's nearly mail time, So I must say, "Good-bye, dear." There I stood beside the mailbox With a face so very red-- Instead of mailing you my letter, I opened it instead.
You mean being forgetful? The other day I was working out in the yard and went into the shop to get something and when I got there I couldn't remember what it was I went to get! Had to stop and think about what I was doing and what I needed. I have to leve myself notes to remind me about notes that I left for myself!
Sounds just like me at times Dooley!!! I still haven't figured out why I went into the spare bedroom this morning or what for.
The other morning Cajun Belle and myself decided to start watering. I went and pulled the hose and took the sprinkler off, to make a long story short no one has seen the sprinkler since.
The times I hate the most are when I've gone downstairs and then I just stand there and wonder what the heck I came down here for... then I go upstairs, where I then remember what I needed, so I go back downstairs... get distracted with the laundry, put away papers, etc. and completely forget again...
That's thinking about the here after. You walk into a room and wonder what the heck am I here after. Dooley
I think most of these blank moments comes around the age of 50, doesn't it? Sure has for me. There was more I wanted to say but can't remember what it was!
