My
brain is a mess. A funny thing happened this week. Monday I drove all
the way to work just to realize I left my computer at home. Had to go
back to get it.
Tuesday I forgot my purse.
Wednesday I wrote myself a checklist and had the hubby run through it with me.
The
books say forgetfulness is a symptom of pregnancy hormones, but I am
not used to being this air-headed. Sometimes I walk into a room and
can’t remember what I’m doing there. Most of the time it’s frustrating
though. Like when I left my computer at home, I wrote myself a note on
my Outlook calendar to take an hour of leave because I was late to work.
Guess what I forgot to do on my timesheet? Had to go back, fix it, get
it re-signed.
Simple
things are taking more effort because my brain decided to fuzz over.
It’s terribly annoying and not like me at all. I started making lists
for everything, even things I used to easily remember. Like what tasks I
need to do at work, what I need at the grocery store... hell just
remembering to go to the store with tote bags, coupons, and my purse.
Sometimes
I have moments of clarity where I feel like my old brain is back. All
this stuff comes flooding in like, take dinner out of the freezer, call
the furnace guy, put that birthday card in the mail, reorder business
cards, email that person back, etc. It all comes at once, then the brain
fuzz starts again. It leaves me staring at my email inbox knowing I was
supposed to email something but don’t know what or who.
I’d really like for this phase to be over, please!
