Forgetfulness
Yes, the years are creeping up on me and it is not unusual to encounter a few senior moments. Thankfully, they have not been too many.
The most recent episode of senior moment (some call it ‘CRAFT’) occurred toward last weekend. when there was a frantic search for a missing laptop. It should be known that there are three laptops in the house; the newest is a MacBook, which replaced a Dell that is to be erased of personal information to be given to a disabled friend of Joyce. The third is also a Dell which was assigned to Joyce many many months ago for her use.
There is the expression that it’s always in the last place you look and of course it is; because when you find it you stop looking. Well, I searched high and low; even in our two cars but nada, zilch, zero, nil, etc.
Then Joyce came over to my desk, which is somewhat cluttered but could not hold an extra laptop, and asked “Have you looked under here”. I pushed back my chair and looked under the desk, which I had done previously, and there was nothing to see. Out of the blue, it hit me. There is a pull out shelf, not very big but big enough, immediately below the desktop. Yeah, yeah. There it was.
Now, I don’t really feel so bad because, a few days later, someone who is much younger and has no excuse of senior moments misplaced his iPhone. Fortunately it was found; in somewhat similar circumstances. I will not mention any names; that will be left to him to admit. LOL
Thanks to those who read my posts. They should not and will not be forgotten. Please say “Hi” as you drop by.
A big THANKS.
