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...
You are not alone. As a child I would hide my money all over the house so no one would find it and then forget where I hid it. My mom would be cleaning the molding over the door frames, repotting plants and find money and bring it to me as she knew I was the one who hid it lol
I still do that now (and still forget lol)
