Memory...

I've been wanting to post about my memory for a while but just have never gotten around to it.  Well, I figure now is as good as time as ever.

My memory is different now.  I know I touched on short term memory like forgetting what I was going to do but I mean just normal memory.  I generally work on 3 days:  yesterday, today and tomorrow.

I know what I did yesterday, what I have to do today and what's on the calendar for tomorrow.

 Anything past tomorrow is just sometime in the future.  I have very little concept of time passing like an upcoming event getting closer.  I freaked out at Thanksgiving because it was suddenly Thanksgiving and I had stuff to do!  Seriously, I know that Thanksgiving is coming up sometime but then suddenly it's here. It's kind of hard to explain.  Kinda like when you're working and suddenly it's 5 and time to go home.  You have no idea where the time went but it did.  Well, it's like that with days, weeks and months for me.

With the past anything that happened past yesterday, was sometime past yesterday.  It could have happened 2 weeks ago or 2 months ago, I have no clue.  It just wasn't recently.  If it's past the last few weeks, well I have no idea and generally don't think about it anymore. Like high-school, you don't think about it unless something triggers a memory.  OK, everything is like that for me. 

So if you want me to do something, you have to remind me.  A LOT!
