I forget!

I am thinking the impossible...yesterday I forgot something important...and have realised that my forgetfulness is now becoming a problem. 

Twice in the last week I forgot to ring a friend and on another occasion failed to turn up for a long standing appointment.   Several times  during the night I woke up to remind myself of something happening today......

It’s only small things at present.  But as I think about packing I am wondering if I should be leaving the security of my home to go off to the other side of the world. I have looked at the trips and decided not to book any of them...just in case...in case I get lost I suppose! 

I need to speak to someone about this before I do anything...one of my friends is a retired doctor who is ten years older than me...and will I know give me her considered opinion if I ask for it...

But that’s the problem.....admitting that I might have a problem seems a bit drastic right now.  For the moment I will probably not do anything.   But I am not sure about getting on with the packing I started yesterday.  

This is not like me...I’m usually fairly excited by this time...looking forward to the long sea trip and going off to warmer climes.  

I will go on with the packing today...hoping not to forget anything important...but ever since I forgot to take my nighties with me several trips ago I am all too aware of this frailty!   So the first things I packed yesterday were all items of underwear.    Oh dear!
