My cog fog is horrible also.
It really is noticeable at work for me, as we have a lot of paperwork we need to make sure is perfect. Mine is very seldom perfect and I need to go back and fix errors a lot.
I have forgotten how to put gas in my car, forgotten how to get out of my car, have forgotten how to do my job, and remember what I did yesterday, NO WAY, plus many more things at times.
Easter morning my memory decided to mess with me. I could not find my car keys when it was time to leave for my parents house. My daughter and I searched everywhere. I had gone to a wedding reception the night before and looked all through my lawn thinking they fell out of my purse on the way into the house. I tried like crazy to remember what all I did when I got home that night so I could retrace my steps. I then remembered that I MUST have gone to my vehicle that morning to get the Easter basket items out of the back, since the baskets were all made up and sitting there. I needed my keys to get in. I knew I HAD to have done this, but I couldn't actually REMEMBER that I had or the actual event of doing it.
I ended up getting my spare set and just leaving after 30 minutes of searching.
On my way home Easter evening I decided I would check the refrigerator and freezer since I had made food to take to my parents house that morning. These 2 places were the only places I had not checked yet.
I then thought, "If I had gone to my vehicle this morning, I know it had to have been cold out for me so I more than likely put my coat on, maybe they are in the pocket of my coat" I don't remember putting my coat on because still I didn't really remember the event completely. Yes I found them in my coat pocket when I got home.
This is only the second time in my life I have ever lost my keys. The first time was 20 years ago when my son was 1 and decided to play in my purse while we were in a store and he dropped them on the floor without me knowing.
Losing my keys was frustrating, but trying to remember everything I did just hours before was more frustrating. Almost the entire morning was blank for me.
