That's OK, Honey, there are a lot of us floatin' in that same boat. Choose a fancy pin or something you can use as a marker and pin it wherever you stop. Then you can just take off from there when you get back to it. All you have to remember is what the pin is for.
When I'm following directions, I keep a pencil handy and if I'm interrupted, I just put a little check mark to mark my place. Then I find the mark when I get back to it. As a first grade teacher I had to learn all kinds of tricks and that was one of my most used. Even when I crochet, I keep the old pencil handy.
And---you're not old, just seasoned. Good luck.
