This ol’ brain
I’ll tell you something. I probably have Alzheimer’s already.
I haven’t yet gotten around to scolding people or taking my knickers off.. ohh..can’t wait till I get there, and deny that I actually did it! But, I’ve got quite a bad memory and I have forgotten quite a lot of things already.
Like the last time I fought with Mr.T and what we fought about. It is quite recent…so, don’t think we have a happy-go-lucky marriage yea. We have a very normal marriage..where we do fight. Very loudly. Thing is, I can’t remember what.
And then, there are many incidences of my distant past that I seriously cannot remember. But ex-schoolmates will tell me how I did this, or how I did that. And I’m like, I did that? NOOOOOO..that wasn’t me! I wasn’t that insane! And the same for college and uni.
I swear..I was a very good girl. Just with lots of energy.
Anyway, yesterday being a public holiday, I took my mom out for her very first picnic in many years. Granted it wasn’t the most conducive picnic-weather..but nevertheless, I was determined to show her why picnics are fun!
We went to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Now, I have been going to the Botanical Gardens for picnics for some time now. I love it. The problem is…I see a gorgeous sea of grass…and I’ll plonk all kids, picnic mat and food and that’s it. I’m planted.
I don’t do the walk around the Gardens. I did that many years ago, and I thought ..why bother..the trees are all the same, eh?
But I encouraged my mom to do the walk. She loves flowers..and loves looking at plants. And so she did.
After her rounds, she came back and asked if I saw the Herb Garden. I’m like yea yea..would love to see it.
I walk in there..and I’m like, WHAM!
It hits me. I was here. 7 years ago! In this same Herb Garden, with my parents. All those memories came flooding back to me.
I was heavily pregnant with No.1 at that time. I was big big big and so big, but I managed to waddle around the gardens. I remember walking in here…looking at all the mint and thinking..bah..just mint. Need. To. Sit. Down. Feel. Like. Bursting.
Funny..how I remember all the specifics, seeing that I have such a bad memory.
Has something like this triggered a good/bad memory for you before?
And yes… as I walked out, I still thought to myself…Bah! So much mint! Mint’s too easy to propagate! Grow something difficult Botanical Garden staff!!!! 
Not that you cant remember, you have other more important things to remember now (like whether #3 has poo’d this week or not). And those which are not as impt are just .. forgotten
And yes, I BELIEVE you - you were an angel in school, and uni!! Hahaha!!

I seem to have extremely clear memories of things ind incidences of the past but more recent events and everyday things I am a scatter-brain.
