"Forgetful"
One job! Somehow I managed to forget to post today despite it being the only thing I needed to do. I blame the current state of affairs. Lockdown disoriented us all trying to guess what day it was. Days bleed into days into weeks into months. A strange time for all.
I find myself more and more getting frustrated with my memory. I'll open up Google and stare blankly trying to remember what it was I was so desperate to search. I'll open the fridge door and look in wondering why. I'll walk into a room and try to claw at any fabric of reason for doing so. I'm not alone as my wife is the same. Symptomatic of the times.
The thing is the worst of times in that regard are also the best of times. Never gave our actions, and to some extent our thoughts, been so easy to recall given our little handheld are recording everything. I can go into "Google Maps" and track where I have physically been. I can check my browser history to see what I have been searching- thinking. I still dont know whether I should be in awe or scared of that. A bit of both I suppose. Maybe never truly forgetful really.
