getting forgetful
I think I’m getting old. I’ve been forgetting things the past few days. Important things, like going to work, eating, drinking water. This morning, I went to an early appointment downtown and forgot my wallet, throwing myself into a panic as to how I would pay to get my car out of the garage. My initial solution was to take the “EL” home, get my wallet, and return to collect my car.
Then I realized that I didn’t have the cash to get on the “EL” to get home.
Would I be begging for spare change on the side walk of the Miracle Mile? Whould I be going up to strangers on the street asking for the last $0.25 to get me home? Where would I find a cup to beg for change with?
I was really in a panic.
Until I remembered that yesterday, I bought one of those new Diet Cokes made with Splenda(r) and paid for it with a $20.00 bill. The change to that was safely tucked into my ashtray in the car.
Will I forget to go to sleep tonight? I’m starting to get worried.
