Thesis Side Effects

On Thursday, I thought I would get an early start on the laundry, but when I opened the washer, I discovered the sheets I had washed last Saturday. Sometime after starting that load, I completely forgot about them. So I washed the sheets again. It's become a regular thing for me to open the dryer and discover clothes that have been sitting there for the last few days, but this was the first time I forgot a load of wash.

We spent Saturday and Sunday at Dan's parent's house. I forgot the shampoo and clothes to wear on Sunday. But I didn't forget my underwear. I did that over Christmas.

Yesterday, I took off my glasses to pull my hair into a ponytail. Then I forgot to put them back on. I kept thinking the tree outside was looking a little fuzzy.

I'm sure I've forgotten other things I can't remember. And the saddest part of all of this is I'm not sure I can even say anything intelligent about my thesis topic. So if I look at you and I don't seem to remember your name or what we are talking about, don't take it personally. I'm just losing my mind. And no, I'm not pregnant.
