How many of us can relate to this???? LMAO

This is how it develops:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my
car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch
table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can
under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage
first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox, when I take out
the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1 check
left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to
my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so
that I don't accidentally knock it over.

I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the
counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water
the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water
and suddenly I spot the TV remote Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide
to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the
Floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and
wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
----the car isn't washed,
----the bills aren't paid,
----there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
----the flowers don't have enough water,
----there is still only 1 check in my check book,
----I can't find the remote,
----I can't find my glasses,
----and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
It, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!


P.S. I just remembered. I LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY!

There are days when I have
There are days when I have chemo brain and end up chasing my own tail all day. I spin my wheels and get nothing done. I`ve done stupid things like looking everywhere for my wallet or keys and end up finding them in the oddest places. For example I have found my keys in the freezer or my wallet on top of the refrigerator. Who knows what posseses me to do this. I can only guess that my keys have ended up in the freezer when I was getting ice but have no idea why I would put my wallet on top of the refrigerator.

Me, too...
Today I went to the Post office and the drug store. First the drug store, where I dropped off my prescriptions (yeah...Emend!) Then I headed to the post office. I walked up to the counter, looked right at the clerk (whom I know very well. This is a small town) and said "Why am I here?" She said to go back out to the car and get the packages I was sending. Oh yeah! I did that, then went home. I was pulling into the garage when I remembered I was supposed to go back and pick up my drugs. Back to the drug store. Back home. Realized I was hungry. Then I remembered I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch, back over by the post office! I called and she said she was already on her way to my house as she figured I forgot! She brought me lunch. My friends understand my chemo brain...wish I did! LOL!

Many hugs, Vicki

I can soooo relate!
The other day I went to put my bottle of water back in the refrigerator since I was doing something else (I forget what.) Three hours later, not one thing I was going to do was done, BUT! ...

- The open water bottle was in the pantry

- The Pledge bottle was in the fridge

- The vacuum cleaner was on the deck

- My wallet was in the garage

- It took a whole day to find my glasses (they were in my husband's workshop

- My dog got 2 dinners

What can I say?.... Oh, by the way, it's been 2 years since my last chemo, but I still use chemo brain as my excuse--it feels more legitimate! LOL!

A sense of humor rescues me ever time.

Laughing with you,
Kirsten
