getting old

Dear Everyone,

There is somebody in my life that is expecting me to do something for them tonight. I can't remember who you are or what it is that I am to do, but I clearly remembering thinking through my week and focusing on Thursday, with a response to you of something like "Thursday should be fine. I have nothing scheduled, so Yes. I can."
Your face and the deed have totally escaped my memory. Please send a reminder!

(SIGH)

Me.

Oh, dear.

Well, if it helps, it wasn't me.

I'm doing that a lot lately. And making every effort to attribute it to other things - busyness with work or the kids, the stress of this election season, etc.

Good luck figuring it out.

I think you're doing pretty good. I wouldn't remember promising anything to anybody. :)

Jen, hon, that was me, and it was last week - and you did it already. Remember?

Trick-or-Treat!

Your brain's just looping back to be sure there are no loose ends. It's all good!

Yes, Jen, it was actually me. You said, "Sure Mare, I can loan you $15,000. I'll have it by next Thursday night."

I'm waiting.

Wow...Mare...I wish I had gotten mine in first. My favorite line to tell people is..."sure, I can do that...send me an email to remind me...if it's not on my email--it doesn't exist!"

OMG can I relate:-) Hope you remember. I swore the PTA meeting this week was today (it was yesterday--whoops!) In aged sympathy, LT

Thank you everyone, for your kind comments. Except for Mare. :-)

Mom - lol...True, at least I remembered there was SOMETHING happening.

No one ever called, and nothing tragic happened. So it's all good.
