I'll swear...
I am not getting old.
I am not getting forgetful.
But, sometimes a little ghost comes into my apartment and puts things in a place I can not find.

Just take yesterday.
My grandson was coming and we were going to go to lunch and then grocery shopping.
Well, I couldn't find my credit card. I looked everywhere. More than once. Still no card.
He says, "Did you look in your wallet?"
"I don't carry a wallet", I say
So, he picks up a little wallet looking thingy that you can carry instead of a purse. I almost never use it but had just recently.
"Is this it?" and he holds out my credit card. I had searched that "wallet" three times at least.
I am not going to start writing down where I put my credit card. It just takes another set of eyes! Now to find my Navy ID card...
gee, I wonder where it is?
I think wallets are too small for older people to see and are easy to leave behind with paying for something in a store. So I have a purse where I carry everything but the kitchen sink. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteI carry a wallet instead of a purse. Less stuff in there - just the essentials (credit card, driver's license, library card, a small amount of cash, etc.), but much easier on my back. When I toted a purse with absolutely everything in it, I was beginning to tilt over sideways!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I carry a small over the shoulder purse that contains only a small wallet with license and credit card, a small bottle of water, and my keys. The purse is always over my shoulder, I never put it down or hang it behind a chair. But... the forgetfulness is part of aging... so I guess it does help for us to be aware of the limits of our memory (and to have grandkids around!).
ReplyDeleteLife can be so frustrating. It is always when I am in a rush that I can't find my keys or my purse. I am always convinced that the fairies have moved them as I am so certain I know where I put them!!!
ReplyDeleteI had that happen the other day and I knew what I was looking for was in the house. Now I can't remember what it was I had been looking for but I remember finding it. Ah age is a challenge.
ReplyDeleteLOL,Latane. And how about walking into a room and forgetting why you went in there in the first place. lol yeah...days like that happen. xo Diana
