I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose, I look over at
my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I
collected from the letter box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish
bin under the table, and notice that it is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the
rubbish first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I
take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1
cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside
the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke
aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on
the worktop catches my eye -- they need water.
I put the Coke on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to
water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the worktop, fill a
container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control. Someone left
it on the kitchen table. I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be
looking for the remote control,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to
put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I
pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote control back on the table, get some towels and
wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning
to do.
At the end of the day:
- the car isn't washed
- the bills aren't paid
- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the worktop
- the flowers don't have enough water
- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book
- I can't find the remote control
- I can't find my glasses
- and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm
really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired.
I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help
for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because
I don't remember who the heck I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

Being "adamant" about an idea, whether right or wrong, is a great way to put it DLB19595!
I have this thing with the Fibro Fog that when I hear someones words I try and understand what they are saying and if one concept finally makes sense to me, then that is THE ONLY ONE concept I can see that makes any sense at all and anything else I think of or that someone says to me that is any different than THAT ONE CONCEPT sounds EXTREMELY confusing or it sounds like someone is talking gibberish or a foreign language to me and I cannot wrap my mind around any other idea except the one I could finally find some tiny semblance of understanding of!
Does anyone else get this weird thought process when the Fibro Fog gets bad?
The thought process that only one concept at a time makes sense some days?
Then...there are times where I can think very clearly! It comes and goes! But so does the pain and lethargy! It's all very weird!
Take care,
Stay sane!
