OOPS!! I had a "Senior Moment". What was yours?

When I forget what I went into a room for, I go back to the room where I first had the idea to do that, & then I can remember & go do whatever it was I wanted to do. Almost seems like the thought is still "hanging in the air" or something, I dunno.

That happens to me a lot. Once my sister came into the room and said she forgot why she came into the room and I told her to go back and she would remember. One minute later she came back laughing about it. I also sometimes put water into my one-cup coffee maker but forget to put in the coffee grounds. If I liked tea I could just put in a bag into the hot water in the cup and have tea instead.
 

About 3 weeks ago,I drove through a red light,totally freaked me out,I also locked my keys in the car and I searched all over for the cellphone I was talking on...
My hubby died of brain cancer so I went to the doctor,she ordered a CT scan to give me piece of mind.
I had it done this past week and it does show I have a brain and it's normal!

I get momentarily confused what day it is when Christmas starts either at beginning or middle of the week.As the days roll by,it still feels like Saturday to me
On my living room wall hangs a clock,the 2nd hand shows the days of the week.I ck it once in awhile to make sure what day it really is Sue

With the Christmas holiday this week, my days are all messed up. I went for most of yesterday thinking it was Saturday instead of Friday, then later in the afternoon while driving home from Costco, I realized it was only Friday. Hard to tell at Costco, it's crowded on Fridays just like it is on weekends. :rolleyes:
 
Last night as I was taking a shower,picked up what I thought was my shampoo bottle instead it was my body wash one.They both look alike,luckily I realized this at the last moment,or my hair would of smelled a lot different LOL! Sue
 
Giantsfan, about the cellphone, that's one of the funniest ones I ever heard of, though I'm sure it didn't seem funny at the time. Glad your CAT scan showed all is well! :)
 
In some ways, I had "senior moments" even when young, because of the type of ADHD I have. It's just more often now.
 
One retired guy I used to know told me, half in jest I'm sure, that he bought the daily newspaper first to find out what day it was and then he would go to obituaries to make sure he wasn't dead. LOL
 
I put some oven chips in to cook about half an hour ago then realised the main oven was on full blast but the chips were in the top oven !

The plastic cups I keep stored in the main oven (as I never use it) were just about done to a crisp, and melted all over the pyrex dishes also stored in there.....:eek:ops1:
 
I just walked into the kitchen to get my Blood Pressure tablets and took out the Biscuit Barrell from the cupboard instead.Opened it too!

Don't feel bad about forgetting someone's name toffee. My sister is only 2yrs older than I am and she calls me everyday asking me about who some actor's name is. I tell Her I'll call her back then I search all over the computer to find who she is talking about because I can't remember their name either.

I sometimes have trouble remembering celebrities names and sometimes words, and that scares me, I REALLY hope I die before I lose my mind. For the longest time I couldn't remember the word conspiracy, then I resolved to remember ''con'' and that did the trick. There's another word I now have trouble remembering but I can't remember it now, either. Cheers! Once I was trying to remember an actor and told someone ''You know, the one married to what'shername". That didn't help.
 
My senior moment was in November when I badly fractured my right shoulder, by doing something very silly. I am still unable to drive and reliant on my children to take me places, which I feel very guilty about, as they have very busy lives.

Just this morning.. I opened a new pack of bacon, and put a couple of rashers in the pan.


Then before putting the bacon back in the fridge I went over to the bin, to throw a used sheet of kitchen paper in my right hand while still holding the bacon in the other hand... yep you guessed it, the bacon went in the bin instead of the paper... :doh:
 
I am currently typing this instead of eating my boiled egg.Boiled the water,set the timer.Egg sitting on tray when timer went off....
 
Just folded a laundered hand towel and went to put it away. Next thing I knew I was about to stick it in the microwave.
 
Now that is funny, it make me feel normal again. lol :thankyou:

This happened yesterday. I was washing clothes and after I put them in the washer,I also put my cup of coffee in with them. That may not be a senior moment , but that's better than just admitting I'm crazy !

I was so in need of good laugh this morning, Janet said what is wrong with you. She is laughing harder than me now. We once met at shopping center to Christmas shop. When we left she got in truck with me, when we got home, she said where is my car. We laughed all the way back to get her car.:lofl:
