Drove home from work a way I rarely drive home from work the other day. ( but know it well as drive home from other parts of town )
Missed the turn off by about 2km before I realised “where the 🤬 am I”
Cereal goes back in the pantry and milk in the fridge- not the other way around.
Me too on the Preperation-H and especially the Desitin which is a remedy for diaper rash, having a fish oil base.
Am far too old to rear up babies (declared with a shudder).
Mental auto-pilot is pretty amazing. I have had mornings where I realized I didn’t remember any of the drive. I have wondered if someone had jumped in front of my car if I would have actually noticed.
Some years ago my brother visited from interstate and that afternoon we decided to prepare a proper salsa to have before dinner while everyone else relaxed with drinks.
We'd had a few beers while chopping up ingredients and I went to the fridge for two more beers, put them on the bench and then my bladder called, so off to relieve the pressure and back to the kitchen, washed my hands and back to chopping chillies.
After a minute or so I started noticing a burning sensation "down there", which got progressively hotter and hotter and I actually had to go for a cold shower.
It didn't help much but looking back on it now, I'm glad I gave people so much amusement that evening.
Adult diapers? 😉
You would have noticed and you would have remembered. The brain just discards the memory of crap it deems not worth remembering. This is also why time seems to fly when you’re older and do the same shit everyday for years. None of it is noteworthy and just gets thrown out. Variety and novelty is the key.
I went onto Amazon to order a label maker. By the time I was done I had a seiko srpe41, a new Beatles hat and a strap in my cart. I still don’t know how it happened I just wanted a label maker.
