Do you ever momentarily forget where you live?

[zoidberg]

I was just thinking that I want to run to the store for some ice cream, but the store I was thinking of was the one near my house in Madison.

Something didn't quite feel right about that, but it took me several seconds to realize that that store is 1300 miles from here. Then it took me another couple of seconds to call to mind the store here.

[jenna]

No, but I forget my age all.the.time. I have to do the math 2013-1973. 

This started in my late 30s.

[tacokick]

Not exactly but sometimes I momentarily forget how to get somewhere I've been to plenty of times before like the eye doctor. I'll just be driving on my merry way and end up somewhere else nearby like the mall.

I swear, in Bangkok (granted, after like 16 days of 17 hour work days every day) I had to write my physical address somewhere. And I couldn't remember it. As in, I could visualize the house, and I was desperately trying to remember the numbers, and I could remember my friends' address (the one where I lived for 3 months before moving), and for some reason, I was remembering my bank account numbers, but I couldn't remember my god damned house address. And I started to freak out BADLY.

But that's not the same.

I sometimes do think that I'd like to just walk behind to the Sushi Box. Best crunchy spicy veggie tempura rolls.

[Deleted]

Yes, I think it comes with the territory when you move a lot.

[zoidberg]

Oooooh, I miss the Sushi Box. Miss.

I could just walk there and get delicious sushi any time I wanted. It was on my way home! Right there on the corner. Sigh.

[idoinjuly]

I sometimes remember people, but don't know where I remember them. Literally, like what state I knew them in. I've only lived in three.

I remember good times with silva getting sushi from the sushi box and going home and drinking bottles of wine.

Good times indeed!

I think of points in the state in relation to where I grew up. I announced once that it would take 2 hours to get somewhere when I was living just up the road from said place.

DH can't remember what county we live in and there are only 16 to pick from.

[gretchenindisguise]

Yup.

I also forget my age frequently and just now thought momentarily that my birthday had already happened this year. It hasn't. It's in about 16 days.

[Norticprincess]

I goggled my own home phone number last week. It was a voicemail on my dad's cell phone that I was clearing off before I had the line terminated (he passed away). The voicemail didn't say anything, but the autovoice read the number. I thought it sounded familiar, but couldn't place it.

[Booze Raccoon]

No but whenever I have a dream and I'm at home, it's my parents house. I guess my subconscious never moved out.

Dude, I can't even remember what day of the week is, much less what date of the month, without checking the phone first.

I do know when my birthday falls though.

Ahem.

[bonquiqui]

I have, but I blame it on the holes in my brain lol

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I kind of forget the years 2000-2010. Like, the nineties were the last decade. And I'm 24. And hot. And skinny. So skinny

I like my fantasy a lot more than reality.

[murdock]

Yup, or I drive past where I work. It's super helpful. I'm pretty sure I need my ADD meds up'ed.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Oh oh! And I'm never sure that I'm at the right school/campus/classroom at any given time.

SAME HERE.

[agnes]

When driving, I sometimes head to old work or old house.

Oh and I've had a bunch of random keys on my key chain for years. I know they go somewhere important, but I can't remember where. I don't want to get rid of them because I just know I'm going to need them at some point.

[UnderProtest]

I still want to give my maiden name out sometimes. I've been married almost 9 years (changed my name immediately). I like to reason that it is because my maiden name is better.

Oh yeah, and I have to think hard about how old I am.

the other week i had to count the years to figure out that i was 36 and not 37. sigh.

I've empathically defended before that I was 2 years younger than I really was. 

I was wrong. 

It was shameful.

[gretchenindisguise]

Oh and I forgot my pin number for my bank card for like a week. I locked myself out of it. I was honestly considering a possible TIA that week, it was a bit worrisome.

[LeggsBenedict]

when h was in africa, there were several times that I thought, "I miss h. I wish he would come back to arizona now." uh, yeah, we live in connecticut.

[eb777888]

No. But I do forget my son's birthday. This is horrible, I knnow. I think he's born two days after he is. I'm such a bad mom. Ugh.

Yep. Sometimes I forget I have children. lol

Lol

When I get really drunk I repeat "OMG I have KIDS! I'm a MOTHER! What! Crazy talk! I have KIDS!"

[polka]

Sometimes I forget when I'm wearing makeup, and I will rub my eyes for awhile cause it feels good. It's not until I look down at my hands, then it's like "ohhhhhh".

[karmasabiotch]

When I dream I'm never in my house now. It's usually the apt. I lived in before I dated H or the house I lived in when I was younger.

I sometimes forget and still sign my maiden name or use it when I'm introducing myself.

[Deleted]

Sometimes when I wake up I don't know where I am

[Cioccolato]

Sometimes I forgot that I do not live in my little world of English speaking happiness, then I step outside and hear French.

[snickers]

lol, no. But I have only lived in 3 houses my entire life, within the same city, so I am lame.
