...and it's making me all muddle-minded. Which is a little bit ironic because apparently her brain is growing like crazy right now. I biked to the pool yesterday and when it was time to leave, I found I had completely forgotten the combination of the bike lock. A combination I have used so many times I don't even think about it any more. I had to walk home. Later that day, I drove into campus for my friend's recital to find that he didn't have a recital at all. I had fabricated it all. I find myself walking into a room in our apartment and can't remember why I'm there. I ask Jbird something and have to re-ask him immediately because I can't remember what he just told me. If I start doing something while in the middle of another job, I forget about the first job entirely. This is quite dangerous if I'm baking. I guess they call this baby brain but I know I've experienced it before when I moved from Bangladesh back to New Zealand and everything was incredibly familiar yet the schema no longer linked together. Just before we got married, I had so much on my mind it felt as though there was no more room for new information. I'm just glad I'm not studying right now. I've found that if I slow everything down I don't forget quite so much. I know my sister felt like she still had baby brain a few months after her baby was born so I guess have to start carrying a notebook with me and writing everything down.
