Ever forget something important?

[XanaDUer2]

I'm going crazy. The middle of the night I realized i have to do something in order to proceed with something else. I didn't get up to write it down. Now i can't remember it. And its important.

This is depressing and disturbing

1. Yes, I forgot to report for jury duty once, several years ago.

Fortunately, the judge was merciful and didn't hold me in contempt of court. Needless to say, I never did THAT again.

2. I was serving on a jury and one of the jurors was a college student, and it was exam time.

He was juror in the day time and studying for finals at night. About the third day of the trial the kid did not show up. He just overslept. The judge told a deputy to go get him and to tell him to bring his toothbrush back with him...He was in the jury room in an hour. I don't know if he really put the kid in jail, but it sure got my attention for the rest of the trial. I left home in time to walk if I had to to get there on time.

For the OP: Forgetting things has been a way of life for me, but I have learned to compensate. Don't let it get you down, if it is important, it will come back to you.

4. I'm starting to wonder

I wouldn't care except I remember it was something important.

6. You're supposed to play straight man.

WHAT'S THE SECOND?

I'll finish it.

I FORGOT.

But to your point, you might have dreamt it. Some times, I wake up and check the time and then realize that I dreamt reading the watch. The watch sometimes gives a 3-d display, which I know it can't do. I let it pass.

I keep a pen and pad by the bed and don't recall using it. So nothing important really came up. Not in reality.

I advise letting it pass. If it was real, it will come back in a quiet moment. Take my word.

Peace ☮
