I am currently very frustrated with my brain. For years I've had a great memory, I rarely needed a diary and had little trouble recalling events that had happened days, weeks, months or even years before. This is no longer the case. I don't know when it began (I've forgotten?) but I can no longer remember things. If they aren't written in my diary they don't happen. Worse still if I forget to look in my diary, then even if they're written down they still don't happen - I have missed hairdressing appointments, even a doctors appointment once and every single birthday that I should be celebrating.
I always mean to be organised and get the birthday cards sent and then something happens and I completely forget there are birthdays until its too late and I've missed them.
This week I've missed 3 - Anna, Am and my dad (I caught Fi's but only by a fluke). So happy belated birthday to all of you. Cards are on their way (or may have even arrived by now). The only solace I can offer is that you're not alone. Everyone else I know has received their cards late this year too.
Of course to add to the frustration technology is letting me down too. OK so I missed sending the birthday card on time - not a problem I can e-mail one. It's instant(ish) and will at least arrive on the birthday. Apparently not. From messages I have received the e-card never arrived, and now I find I am having huge problems with my e-mail account and can't send any replies to discover if the card has finally arrived.
Dad I really hope that you got your e-card, and hopefully Andrea will give you your real card soon too.
