Do you find yourself doing things automatically and then don't remember doing it?

I do it. One of my fears is that I lock myself out of the house, so the first thing I do getting dressed in the AM is put my house keys in my pants pocket. Sometimes when showering I forget if I washed that part of me or not so I do it twice sometimes just in case. Can't be too clean.
 
This morning, Got distracted as I was going from my parking spot to my apt entry & when I got to my door couldn’t remember if I had locked car or not. I had.
Have also done that in reverse. Got to car & couldn’t remember if I locked house? Yes I did lock it.
 
Do you do things automatically and then don't remember if you did or not? For example, I will go for my walk and leave thru the basement. When I get back, I will have my mind on something else and then later I don't remember if I locked my basement door back or not. So, I go back downstairs and find my door IS locked. I just went through the motions but didn't pay attention to what I was doing so I didn't know if it was locked or not. I have made so many trips back downstairs just to check the door because it gives me the creeps unless I KNOW it is locked. Do you do this?

Im laughing so hard because since 'Iv become widowed I do all the things I'm reading...now I know I'm ok.
