My brain is really in warped speed
 

Please be patient reading this post. You will understand why I have
to tell you everything I did today.

Had to go to the lawyers with some papers to get ready with the
closing of my house. Went to my DD's house to fax more papers regarding
the house I am buying in Kentucky.

Went to the local pizza place to get a quick lunch. After that walked
around the shopping center. Went into a few stores to check on things.

The last thing, went to the supermarket to get a few groceries. Had
a lot of time, so I just strolled around the store with the cart.

Got home and changed into more comfortable clothes. Put all the
groceries away.

About 45 min. of being home, walked back into the Living Room and
noticed the shoes I took off that I was wearing today.
I freaked out, I had worn 2 different shoes.
They both were brown slide ins,but different styles. I was so embarassed
thinking about how many people noticed this and said to themselves

WHERE IS THIS WOMEN'S BRAIN, DOESN'T SHE REALIZE SHE
IS WEARING TWO DIFFERENT PAIRS OF SHOES.:eek::eek:

Has this happened to anyone else or am I the only bird brain.

That's what I got for hurrying up to get dress.

I walked around the house for about 30 min. before I left

Jappy :(:(

You had a lot on the go dear. Putting on 2 different shoes is probably the result of your mind being preoccupied with other things going on.

Long before my MS diagnosis, I went to work on a Wednesday wearing my jeans. Monday to Thursday are definitely not jeans days. They're business casual days! Not to mention (freaky), my coworker who certainly does not have MS showed up in jeans on that very same day! :eek:

The manager laughed and gave us both 'free pass' buttons to wear for the day. Basically suggesting we had won some 'team challenge' so management would not give us a rough time.

I can honestly say I had completely had a brain fart, but she said "Oh I just didn't want to dress up today". LOL.

ya know jappy, i bet not 1 single person noticed.

and just think of all that you accomplished. that's incredible. i'd never be able to do 25% of what you did.

i'd just smile inwardly and knock yourself upside the head. :D

Nobody noticed....and if they did they were probably relieved to know that you did the same thing they once did!! :D

At least you were fully dressed.....I made it almost all the way to work once before realizing that I had forgotten to put my skirt on!! I had on a slip, a blouse and planned on putting my skirt on very last thing so I wouldn't get anything on it before I left. I got in the car in the garage, opened the garage door, started the car and left. Thank goodness I looked down at my lap before I actually got to work!! :o

I bet nobody ever used that excuse for being late before!! :D

lol yes i have but my two pairs look a like, sort of,

not sure but maybe two diff shoes are the key to beating fatigue, you may be on to something. Glad you got so much done I got a bit tired just reading what you did today,

TOUCHE!!!

You are a TREND setter... you go girl!!

Jan

You are not alone!

Unfortunately for my DH I regularly did that very same thing. For me it was always one black shoe and one blue one. I'd phone DH from work when I finally noticed my feet, and he'd have to bring me one shoe and take the other colored one home.

My other "thing" was I would forever be leaving the front opening zipper in my work trousers down. I'd often not even notice until my first visit of the day to the ladies'. Nobody ever told me, so I have to hope it was because no-one ever noticed. :o

I'm having a real hard time feeling sorry for you, for wearing two different shoes, with all the walking you were able to do. Sorry..:rolleyes: :D

I went to my brothers fancy church one time in two different heels. They were different color and different size heel! But we were out of tonw and the only other shoes I had were my tennis shoes.

The only shoes I own are sneakers and Birkenstocks... so no I've never put on one of each. BUT>... many times I have gone out of the house with my shirt on inside-out :o:D:p.

Yes, Sally I am very happy to say that yesterday was one of
my great days. I was walking with the assistance of my cane.

But today I am paying for it. I am going to keep on trying to do
my best when I feel better. I went through a rough time months ago and
thank God I have gotten myself on the upward climb again.

It makes me feel better hearing about others doing the crazy
things that we do. I had a good laugh last night when I thought more
about it, saying at least I might have given someone something to laugh
about for the day.

How about this one? Tuesday I made dinner for 3 people instead of 4! At least 5 days a week I cook dinner for 4 people. On the other 2 days, my DH cooks for 5 people, so where did I come up with 3??

I made 3 hamburgers, told DS to get out 3 plates and then looked at all 4 of us and realized that it wasn't making sense. Luckily, one DS said he didn't want a burger anyway and opted to have microwaved hot dogs.

I wanted to sit down and cry. That was kind of scary mental confusion.

The most embarassing scenerio is when you come home after a date...your Mom is waiting up....and your sweater is on, inside out.:eek::o

Yes, I have worn two different pairs of shoes to work, more than once. But worse than that, I was at the mall and looked down and still had my slippers on!

Oh yes, I've done the slipper thing.....but, at least they matched..:D

WOW!! it is something all the crazy things that all of us have
done sometime in our lives.

Hope to hear more stories. Also I am sure because a lot of these
things have happened at different times in our lives, so we can't just
blame the MS for all of it.

It just goes to show how our lives are filled with so much that our
brain cannot keep up with it.

Now that we have this awful disease it only makes the brain short
circut worse.

Oh Jappy, that's nothing, don't worry for a minute. :hug:

I've gone the entire day with my shirt and also sweaters on backward. :) :rolleyes:

I've nearly left the house without my glasses, or in my slippers (old, worn, pink scuffs.)

That sounds totally logical to me Holly. I've been known to stick a cake in the oven, only to realize I forgot the eggs. So I beat some up, carefully stirred them in and back in it went!

It's amazing to me how I can mess up a meal lately. The biggest worry for me is that people might not eat and then I'll have to throw it all out. :o (We can't waste food now, can we?) :rolleyes:

LMAO!!!! Oh wow, I'm glad that never happened to me, despite some of the embarrassing things that did. ;)

Sounds like Sal is talking from experience. :D

Don't worry Jappy; My Gram spent the whole day at our house once and no one even noticed that she had two diff shoes on. When she got home, she called me and we laughed so hard. Now, if you'd have had them on the "wrong" feet??? Then, I might be worried about ya. :hug:
