Have you ever had one of those moments where you question your own sanity? On Monday we went to pick up some fabrics & a few other groceries but as I was right in the middle of working on a blanket & packing to go out of town for the following two days it is obvious I was distracted. So now that we are again back home again I spent the better part of today searching every where I could think of for my fabric charm packs & new ruler with a free pattern. I have to say I was getting really down & it was making me think I was having the worst memory issues ever? I had hubs helping me look & he was convinced we would find them but after 30 minutes of him searching I told to him to leave it & go work on the floor so he did. I kept looking to no avail. Finally I said maybe we left it in the back seat of my car? So out he went not once to search & no not twice but 3 times & nothing although he did find a Christmas card lodged between the seat & the console. Now he has worked on the floor all the est of today & I have to say that it looks really nice & he was productive I on the other hand well I did not fair so well. I moped around because I thought it was my memory that had failed me & was not able to find them. If your looking for a happy ending then you have check the following reply & you will have your answer. Come on now I couldn't tell you here or you would already know the ending SIGH..............

11329I know the feeling, I put something in a secret place and then I can't remember where that secret place is. I always go look in the spot I used to have it. Drives me crazy so it doesn't pay to have a secret place for a precious item.

well it does but it doesn't pay to change it from where it was. I do that all the time too. Safest place is where you put it the first time round lol

I agree..... let it go just like the song. I did let it go & had given up on finding them again. So happy hubs remembered we took his truck & not mine. ~hugs~
30988I am so grateful that you finally found your items and just as you remember doing them. My brain damage seems to be like a large train station and tracks that go to the different areas of my brain, it seems as though the switches are switched from day to day so I must retrace how to find a specific word or certain details I want to recall and I may need to find a different way around a blocked railroad track. Sometimes I know certain details one hour and it can no where be found or remembered the in the next hour. Sometimes for days I will rack my brain and finally it is as if that train track switch is moved again and I can then again remember that detail. My long term seems to do very well, most of the time, it is just getting those short term details into those long term file areas of my brain and then hoping that the path to that area does not get turned off for any reason, for which I have no control besides trying to do things in the exact same way anytime I do something so that I would at least know on what train track I would need to be checking. As you have now found out, you were searching the wrong train track, as you had not been in your car as you normally would have been but in your husbands truck that day. Again I am so glad you have found your materials.

you have said it beautifully! & since we are a big train family your analogy is perfect!. My long term is really good but like you say the short term is very poor. Organization is the key put everything in exactly the same spot so that it becomes second nature to retrieve. I try very hard to do just that but life gets in the way & the list gets lost so day to day challenges! I am so incredibly grateful for this site & the cuties who make it what it is. The help & encouragement I get take the sting out of the bad side effects. I am happy that you understand (with exception to the why you do)& I feel for you the challenges that you too must face on a daily basis. I hope being here brings you comfort too & knowing that cuties are just a question away no matter how big or small someone is always available to help. ~big hugs to you ~
8217I am very pleased that you found it. My memory bank is full too. Now I tell people that I only remember the important stuff ( just between friends, I am having trouble remembering that too). Hugs Marg

I quite like that one Marg.... I only remember the important stuff! A friend of mine once said when this happened to her that her "mind was taking a tropical vacation" I like that one too. ~hugs~
24826I feel like this is me everyday lately! LOL It just shows me you have too many vehicles!!!! Glad you found the items and can celebrate.

I'm thinking if I had 1 car, 1 closet, 1 room...I couldn't loose anything except in plain sight and all would be well. I wouldn't spend my time traipsing back and forth between rooms looking for things or get sidetracked and put things... lol I'm sure glad all the parts are still attached heaven knows what I'd put in the wrong place if some assembly was required! hahaha
35301So pleased that you found them and that your mind was not playing tricks on you.

318468I think we try to cram 25 hours into our 24 hour days! I've been there way too often! My Grandmother had a postcard in her bedroom. It puzzled me as a child. It is way too real now!

The devil is in the details lol We are both relieved!

I would have been calling the store and saying, "By any chance, did I..." So glad it reappeared. P.S. It's not that we have memory issues. Our files drawers are just getting full, so lots to sort through.
