Desi, dont be too hard on yourself although many off this site would never understand, forgetting things, even important dates, like the start of school is very common. I have severe memory and organizational problems for eithre the rsd, the coma, the ketamine, who knows but its real. so dont be too hard on yourself. Instead id be impressed you made it through 8 hours of shopping- something I havent been able to do since my accident even wth wheelchairs. Good to hear from you. Love CZ
