One of those days

It's been one of those days weeks months years where I just can't seem to remember anything.

My memory used to be so sharp.  I memorized people's birthdays, phone numbers, class schedules, all without even trying.  I could hear something once and remember it forever.

Now it's just in one ear, out the other.  What happened?  Old age?

Take, for instance, tonight.  I had a great blog post idea... something I could sit down and type out in a few minutes... something that my readers would enjoy (I thought)...

But then I realized I needed to send an important text.  It took me a few minutes to write the text, proofread, edit, and send... and by then I had completely forgotten what I was going to blog about.

I tried and tried and tried to remember.

I retraced my steps.

I retraced my thoughts.

But, alas, it is forgotten.

So that is it.  The end of my story.
