What usually happens is I reach for my coffee mug and it's gone. I find it in the microwave oven filled with room temperature coffee.
BTW I had a little victory yesterday. I went into a room and actually remembered why I went there. It was the bathroom, but still, it was nice to feel like I'm not totally gone yet.
When I'm on at night, Don solves many structural problems on houses he is building. When I"m on during the day, the birds glare at me because they are out of food. Sometimes they prostest so much, they fly IN the house to get my attention. If the front windows aren't open, they fly into the glass. My feathered friends really can be persuasive when they want to be :)
