I’m losing it ! 😡

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 16:48:16 GMT

I was up 2 hours before I realized it wasn't Saturday. There were many clues that I just ignored, til I noticed the date on my IPad. Between being retired and being home most of the time, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, but it is disconcerting.

LOL, that's funny.

I was going to say something like, well at least you don't have to take a bath today. You know how people used to say that Saturday was bath day.? Or Friday night was wash your hair and set it in rollers night. But I was afraid it would come off as insensitive.

Don't forget your thieving ways with our missing packages too @QVCkitty1 . Probably in the garage fencing our goods and losing track of time is more like it.

LOL, nothing to be worried about! The first thing I ask myself, every single morning, is, "What day of the week is it?" Sometimes it takes me a second, and sometimes I think it is one day and then realize that is not right. Sometimes, I can not even remember what month it is, let alone what year. I feel like I am in the twilight zone lately!

This past month we had our anniversay. We were watching tv and the guy on tv said his anniversay was Sept. 18th. I thought to myself that was the same day as ours. Then my husband turned to me and asked me if I knew what day it was. I told him that I am pretty sure it is Friday. He then wished me a Happy Anniversay.

This was close to 8 at night so we both forgot it all day. One of us always forgets over the years but we had a good giggle about this the rest of the night. We had gone out the week before for dinner since my daughter was gone that weekend so that is why I forgot about it.

Other then that I can never remember what day it is. This whole week I have been stuck on Friday and yesterday it was Sat. My husband is working from home every other day so that really screws with both of our schedules. You are not alone.

@QVCkitty1 you're okay- some days are good and some days, well this is what I see in the mirror (my nightmares have come back and I deal with some heavy you-know-what with the sleep I lose)....

@QVCkitty1 I feel your pain. My reality orientation is sometimes off by a few days lately. I will think it is trash day, shopping day, etc... This happens more often than I care to admit.😁

I think because my normal routine has been so greatly disrupted; courtesy of the pandemic, that my mind just cannot make the transition. You are right; it is very disconcerting!😞

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Don't feel bad it happens all the time to me.

When I was still working I woke up, looked at the clock, holy s*itsnacks I really over slept. Jumped up, grabbed clothes and was mentally cussing out DH who was downstairs watching the news. Why didn't notice I wasn't up and getting ready.

As I'm running downstairs yelling, "why didn't you yell at me, I'm going to be really late?"

He turned around, calmly looked at me and said, "Jane, it's Sunday."

I have those kind of days too. It was especially difficult for about a month after they changed our garbage pickup day. It had been picked up on Wednesday for decades then they changed it to Monday. It was very disorienting.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 , Thanks for your story, it reminded me that this happened to me once when I was still working. I guess it's just a glitch in my system.

@QVCkitty1 I felt like the the south bound end of a north bound house for yelling at him. Luckily, he knew he was married to a crazy person. lol

I did apologize.

@akaburtonfan , They finally have our trash pick up and recycling pick up on the same day. It makes life easier.

PLEASE be good to yourself and don't get too upset. I'm hanging on to my schedule by what grandchild needs to be picked up when and where, and what TV rerun is on for a given night.

Without my music lesson and band rehearsal being 6 o'clock outside instead of 7 inside, the main structure of my life is on hiatus.

We all need to keep telling ourselves that this is temporary. TEMPORARY, I said. TEMPORARY.

I'm not retired, I have been working from my home office for 5 years. Yes, that has happened to me more often than I care to admit. It happens midweek for me. I'll wake up on a Wednesday and think it's Thursday for half the day. One time I had Zoom meeting on Thursday and signed on to it and no one was there and I waited and waited and then I got mad because I thought they rescheduled and didn't tell me. I sent an email to my boss who who replied "the meeting is on Thursday". Another time, I wasn't feeling well and I took a nap after I finished working at 5pm. I rarely take naps. So, I woke up at 8 o'clock and I went into panic mode because I start work at 8am and I was concerned because I'd slept so long. And I was furious with hubby for not waking me and for leaving for work without telling me. I jumped in the shower, threw some clothes on and fired up the laptop to start work....and realized for the clock on my laptop....that it was 8:30pm. I hadn't slept through the night, I only slept 3 hours. The human mind can do some weird things.

Don't feel bad.

Just last week, I got up, got dressed and went in to work which is a half hour drive for me.

I was getting ready to clock in, when my co-worker showed up and asked what I was doing there.

I was there to work, I told him.

We both looked at the schedule, and it was my day off!

I thought that it was a day later than it actually was.

So I came home.

That's getting your days mixed up!

@QVCkitty1 Aw, you're not alone! Some days I'm not sure of the date or day until I look at my newspaper!! Sometimes Friday seems like Saturday. I can so relate as I think many of us can.
