Where is the number 7?.

Does somebody have information about a pre-menopausal woman lossing her mind or ability to focus, concentrate or put attention to things? Because these days I have been in a stage of stupidity never faced before.

Years ago, I could remember every thing, for example I never had to write down those days of the month. Today if I don't do it, I'm totally lost, thank God I don't plan to be pregnant again, otherwise I'd have so much trouble trying to figure out my due date.

I never used an agenda, because I knew all my day with no problem. This year I got an agenda for those duties of helping remember and planning a week, but of course I don't remember using it. I have forgotten to pack sac lunches for field trips, I have gotten to school and noticed that Bidane had a book presentation and I wasn't there, just because I didn't read with attention the class newsletter.

And talking about not reading well information, I just got a number 7 out from where the bachelors like to live... -you know when they say: I need my space-. I'll explain my-self better.

On Puppy Heart we read about a Wedding Anniversary. Well, I just assumed that it was a number 7 instead of 6. Why? I don't KNOW. I even had the face to say, -hey is it not a number 6, the one you needed to put instead of a 7? The secure writer replied, I'm sure it was a 6, then I thought maybe she is right...

Maybe it could be a good idea to write a diary, a journal and see if something pops out, or at least I can wonder what is going on...Maybe I just need calcium or potassium, meditation, to practice the warrior pose or just relax.

I hear you Daleth..I thought my memory was gone because of my new "living" situation but maybe it's because I'm turning 43 in a couple of days :)

Yes, I am experiencing the same things, when you mentioned the 7 years versus 6, I just figured that I got that wrong myself, due to my 43 year old brain..I did go check though...luckily I will always remember how many years if I can remember how old Chloe is !!

I have also been reading about menopause, and pre-menopause, and memory loss stuff is a very common symptom of the years before. Menopause and pre-men is just as big of a change of life as puberty was...something to look forward to as our eggs dry up !! It really can't help that we are all so busy with our kids and family's, it was easy to remember things when I was only responsible for myself ! My advice, get a notebook or a small daily calender, and keep it in your purse...it really helps...if you can remember to look at it !!

As a list horder who often forgets to check them...I can relate! Life is busy and sometimes all the notes in the world just give you a place to put that "don't forget" thought. But meditating is nice ;)
