My normal, quick brain has left. I do miss it and I wish it would come back soon.

I first noticed this little quark when I was setting up my first appointment with the doctor. The receptionist ask me what my SS# was...The number I have had memorized since I was ten signing up for slow-pitch softball... I blanked. Chris had to start it for me and it came back.

I have been holding a bank bag in my hand and completely forget what I am doing.

I went to Wal-Mart and forgot why I was there.

My favorite is I misplaced my phone the other day only to find it in the refrigerator 2 hours later.

At school it is worse: As a counselor I rely so heavily on my memory. I keep short hand notes with students but lately my cryptic language isn't enough. It is very frustrating to have a student in my office and get their story mixed up with another kids. It does nothing for the therapeutic relationship.

I miss you real brain- come back!
