I'm losin' it

[ndanukiwi]

For many years I have carried my cash in a little silk change purse. Never used a wallet because I like keeping my bills and change in the same place (which makes even more sense here in Canada where one can accumulate $10 or $12 in change without even noticing

Dude, that sucks. I'm sorry. :(

At least you didn't lose credit cards and ID and such...

Thanks. And, true enough - losing cash is nowhere near as bad as losing a real wallet full of identity-theft fodder, so that's something. Still, it does make me wonder what is wrong with me...

i've heard that one can experience memory loss and the tendency to misplace things at the onset of the menopause.

option #2: ferrets.

Thanks ever so, ducks.

...ducks?

[ndanukiwi]

Y'know. Old British ladies call each other "Ducks". Or at least in Mary Poppins they do.

Really sorry to hear that, hon.

Personally, I think that eventually one reaches a point where there are too many details to keep track of, and some of 'em just get pushed out of the way. Trying to concentrate harder doesn't help. The only defense I have found is to create obsessive, slavishly repetitive routines that don't rely on my memory (e.g., always leaving the keys in exactly the same spot). Yet even that doesn't always help. (I have lost my left glove (not the right) twice this winter.)

That's a sad story. I am very attached to my change purse so I feel your changepurse loss pain! I was also hoping to get your email addy so I can send you an invite to the Bitchybees flicker account. Then you can upload photos right to our page if you take some.
