Momentary Memory Blip

 Last week, after a particularly stressful day/week trying to catch up from vacation I had a memory blip. I’m not going to call it memory loss, as that just plain scares me, so it was a blip. 

Getting ready for class I went to put on my belt and I completely couldn’t remember how to tie it properly. The more I tried, the more frustrated I became. I’ve been tying this belt for 12 years - what the heck is wrong with me!!?? I gave up and had Don tie it for when I got to class. 

It may to some not be a big deal, but this bothered me. A lot. I didn’t sleep well for 3 days. Part of the stress I believe is due to my moms (and grandma’s) dementia. But I also believe I overthought it, and once I was able to calm down and think rationally about it, I do realize it was more brain overload than anything. I still find it hard to believe that happened with such a basic thing I have been doing for so long. 

Belt was tied with no issues today…. And I’ve stopped overthinking it.
