Memory like a sieve

[rkold]

I think my short term memory has completely gone. I can remember plenty of older things, but anything recent just seems to slide across my brain like somehow my brain has become teflon coated. It makes for much frustration on my part since I can't remember what I am supposed to be doing.

So for now, I am making a list here and adding things when I can remember them.

1) Work on unpacking (the only obvious thing)
2) Buy paper towels!
3) Find bottle and can recycling other than at Trader Joe's (supposedly there is some in the complex, but where I've no idea...)
4) Make car appointment (Wed is out) Thursday @8:30 am!
5) Go to mall and buy more Maternity and return the jeans
6) Watch Netflix movie and change addy with Netflix
7) Order new pants and jeans for Kennis from J.Crew since they carry his size
8) Call Nurse person about Birthing Centers and to find out about acupuncture so I can hopefully stop puking already!
9) Call VolksUSA to make sure they charge my card with the right info since I want to go to NY Dolpa
10) Start planning trip to Japan >>;
11) Laundry?
12) Buy some gardening things for the deck
13) Food for dinner?

Hopefully that is it? Oh work on some sales I think? Maybe? Gah, this is so frustrating.

It's called "mom brain" and apparently there is some truth to it!~

Well when I was pregnant I called it "preggo brain".

Well, I don't like it and I want it top stop already. Hopefully if I make lists it will help keep me from falling behind >>;

It should help, I dunno when it ends since I have ADD so I kind of have always had it...

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I don't have ADD so I'm about ready for it to be over. I keep misplacing things like my keys and my purse and the book I am reading and I don't like it at all. I have a lot I would like to be doing. ~.~

I am about ready for my ADD to be over with as well, heh. It really sucks...it's not something I am used to it's just something I've had to live with. There are tons of things I should be doing and I sucked at school 'cause of it.

Is there anything you can take for the ADD or any work arounds? I've no idea what is out there since I don't have it.

Still throwing up? Aww... *hugs* I'm not sure acupuncture is more appealing (not to me, anyway) but I certainly hope you're able to find something that helps!

Maybe you'll remember this, since it was a few months ago: did any of the pics we took with the waterproof camera actually come out?

I got some of the digital pictures developed and the place did a pretty bad job so I think I am going to have to find someplace new to bring things. I have the camera but haven't found a place to bring it in so I don't have the pictures yet. ^_^;;;

Acupuncture would freak me out but the nausea and the vomiting is getting sort of old. I just started month 5 (or rather week 18) and it is time for the puking to end already. The only good thing is it helps keep my weight down?

*hugs* Sorry you're still puking. I got the tea for you - I just need to make the cookies in the next day or so & send everything off!

I know how that is ... but my 'brain blanks' was from my radiation treatment. After 2 years, my brain is much better ... but I still have my moments ... uh blips ...

*hugs* It is very very frustrating to still be puking. Though I keep telling myself it means the baby is doing OK. Though today I got a lot of fluttering in the morning.

For me it's like, I know I have things to get done and I just can't remember what I am supposed to do.
