When I read this and read about the bracelet, it reminded me that I needed to get my charm bracelet, that has over 40 charms on it, and put with the rest of my jewelry in case we have to evacuate because of the river. I lose stuff all the time.

Well, I have turned into the biggest "loser" of stuff...I will put stuff away in what I think is the perfect spot, and sure that I will know exactly where I put it..only to find later that I have no idea where it is...examples...
I put my bracelet in a Christmas oven mitt one year, then forgot about it, packed it up with the Christmas stuff, thought I lost it at the mall, and the following Christmas, found a great surprise when I unpacked the mitts...packed up jewellry in the balloon drapes, then forgot...dropped my rings in a dress pocket, then forgot...and on it goes..
Do the same thing at work..will have a copy of something...needless to say it will disappear 2 minutes later, then reappear right before my eyes...
and not to mention quiting things...I know that when i have so much to do it gets worse, and stress makes me very forgetful
...am I losing my mind...please tell me somebody else knows what I am talking about...
