Forgetting Leads to Problems.

Tweet

My day was off to an early start as I needed to get my car in for it's service. It was very cold, 3 degrees C and visibility was poor and I needed to travel over 100klms. A roo crossing the road came close but we missed each other and the early morning sun was not the problem it usually is. It was as I was leaving the next town that I realised I had left my wallet behind. It was in a drawer and i was supposed to remember to put it in my bag but I forgot. So many things were tumbling through my mind at this stage. I knew the mechanic would send me an account but I was also going to do a monthly shop and obtain fuel and i didn't have a brass razoo, not even the price of a cup of coffee. My day was ruined Meanwhile, did I have enough fuel to get back home? The answer - no. I turned around realising I had to get back home somehow. I rang the mechanic to explain and left a message then I rang my friend at home to see if he had any spare fuel, we often help each other this way. He had some and even offered to drive to meet me which was a life saver. I was able to head back to town, get some fuel and a few groceries and then go home, worrying about whether I was seeing the beginnings of dementia.
