Forgetting to be forgetful.

I really only have ONE PRESCRIPTION DRUG that I need to take and it’s probably keeping me alive. So why is it that for the past two weeks I KEEP FORGETTING TO TAKE MY MEDICINE? Sheesh.

Well, I am getting old. I have to leave notes to myself to remember to do SIMPLE THINGS like putting away my laundry or cleaning the bathroom. Actually I suppose I’m just avoiding things I don’t want to do right away and I need the reminders to get me off my fat football-watching ass. I should take a cue from my brother-in-law and just put EVERYTHING on a list including things like “eat lunch”. That way I get used to making the lists and following up.

I’ve tried using the reminder apps on my iPhone but a physical hand-written list seems to work the best for me. Weird how that works.

One thought on “Forgetting to be forgetful.”

  1. I go through bouts of forgetting my lifesaving drugs too. I think it’s just an unconscious rebellion.
