Ever get side tracked ?

I find my self constantly doing that.

Back when I lived in Michigan my garage was 20 yards from my deck out back.

Walk out the door wall and down 2 step and then 5 more walking step to the service door.

That's what I did to go out there and get 1 thing I was working on.

I walked out there and got to my work bench an asked myself ok why did I come out here.

I was only 54 at the time and couldn't remember why I was out there :xzqxz:.

Walked back in the house an wala I remembered walked back out there and opened the door.

Doing so I kick something under the work bench bent over to get it an forgot what i wanted :gah:.

Goes back in the house and stood there for a min and then it came back to me.

So out I go to get it no matter what.

BUT !! I wrote it down thank God cause the phone in the garage rang lol.

Ever happen to you or come close ? lol

Yup, I get preoccupied and find myself saying What the heck am I doing:p

ALL THE TIME ... downright scary :gah:

My doctor tells me (and I hate this), "That's age appropriate".

Happens to me quite often....Now i learned that when i can't find my car keys 'The first place to check is in the refrigerator ....Saves me a lot of time if i look in there right away ...:xzqxz:.

After I ask myself “Why am I here” I open the fridge and get a beer. Slowly it all comes back .....

Its commonly referred to as the Doorway Effect and happens to everyone.

Happens but I don't like it... This forgetting thing really ticks me off... So much so I work at memorizing things and directions places and things. Staying focused and mentally active. So I decided to go back to work to stay active, and for me it certainly helps, Thank the Good Lord I can physically do it. I daily Take Quality grade Co-Q-10,(memory) omega 3 fish oil,(heart) Red yeast Rice, (glucose) a Quality Multi-vitamin(general health), Vitamin C,(immune system) Glusomine Chondroitin (joints) just sayin Fred and one prescribed Metformin for of course pre diebietes...
