Does anyone else....

Have the attention span of a goldfish?

I've noticed more and more recently that I end up sitting here doing essentially nothing for half hour at a time.

So far today instead of cracking on with the mag dailies I keep doing the polls underneath them.

Is it just me?

    I listened to the Bridge over Troubled Water album yesterday, still knew every word. But where did I put my glasses?

    So it's not just me! I was panicking on Wednesday night, head all over the place, kept losing things all day! It was rather distressing :o and I keep just staring at my screen instead of entering the advents like I should be doing. Wonder if it's the repetition of entering these things that is causing it?

    Yes, this! Why can I remember the words to a song by some obscure 80's band and then go into a room and forget why I went in there in the first place?!

    :rotfl:

    Yep all the time. I had a bump to my head as a toddler and have poor memory function, gotten worse in my 40s, lord knows what I will be like in my 70s-80s , it has it's benefits sometimes like i can totally be that person who forgot why I had an argument with people ..i'm sure people just think i'm nice but that's not always the case lol.
    Downside you can't ever be one of those people who fabricate the truth, and it makes me a tad gullible sometimes when people tell me "Don't you remember I told you last week that.." Umm nope.

    How is it I can recall very complex knitting stitches off the top of my head , but can't remember my childrens names. I go throught the whole family, the pets , I end up settling for "Child" :o

    I regularly call my kids the dogs names and vice versa :rotfl:

    Thing is both my kids are boys and both my dogs are girls :o

    I usually end up with "OY" ;)
