Ha! I am no different than she wrt things like my neighbors cars!

It frequently amazes me what people don't absorb or remember, like whole sentences of a 4 sentence email or text message. I'm not under any illusion that I am exempt from this, but what we see and others miss is of course more apparent to us.

Well now that I'm aging, I do have moments of blanking out. I used to be always in "recording" mode of my daily activities, which is probably why I need quiet down time. But lately I'll take out the recycling, to empty into our condo bins, and when I get back my wife says "where's the tote?". And I'm like, " Ah, probably down by the condo bin where I left it". Lol
