It's Wifty Day!

[fuzzybuddy]

Normally, I'm half way with it. But, today, I woke up wifty. It's when you're looking for your socks, and you find them in your left hand. I had to call my MD for a refill, and I couldn't remember the last 4 digits of my telephone number I've had for 30+ years. I dropped a dozen eggs on the floor. Set the clothes dryer for 50 minutes, but forgot to put the clothes in it. It's just one of those days when your mind is on vacation.
Do you ever have wifty days?

Just another normal day then, eh, Fuzzy!

Do you ever have wifty days?

Would you let me get away with "no comment?" Nah, didn't think so... so I'll have to confess that my wifty days are coming closer and closer together.

Sometimes have to stop myself from, say, putting sugar in the teapot instead of the cup. Or open the fridge door and realise, no that's not where the kettle goes. Luckily doesn't happen too often. Probably because I'm thinking of something else and kind of acting on some kind of autopilot

@Balzac “ Probably because I'm thinking of something else and kind of acting on some kind of autopilot”

This is so true!
I see this happen in myself and even in younger people (my daughter) too.

I have wifty moments, not whole days, not yet anyway.

Lack of concentration.
It happens to me quite a lot at home but never anywhere else.
Of course I am very old and that is part of my excuse.
I was told by a friend in the medical profession that it is very often caused by dehydration so drink lots of liquid
whatever your choice
cheers

Heh, as per usual. Put a teabag in a cup and put it in the nuke; no water. Ever smell burning tea?

I saw the effects of dehydration with my mother-in-law. She would be showing signs of Alzheimer’s, and we took her to the hospital once when she fell. They gave her an IV of liquids because they said she was dehydrated. The next day she was so coherent I couldn’t believe it.

The downside was she would always tell me, she “did not like the taste of water“

and she preferred her Jack and Coke

What is that old saying? You can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink?

I loved and respected my mother-in-law very much.
She was just very stubborn at times.

Welcome to my world. I even try to make notes, but then I forget to read them.

I usually make an excuse: I forgot to take my memory pill.
