Anyone else ever stand in the shower for 5 minutes and then have absolutely no recollection of whether or not you've washed your hair and body yet?

All the time. More often going into the basement and no idea what I went for or going to the store for 3 things and wracking my brain to remember what they were.

I have a couple pills I’m supposed to take at night before bed. Half the time when I put out the light, I’m wondering if I took them or not.

I'll go to a store for one thing, spend like 58 bucks, and leave without the one thing I came for.

If I ever wonder whether or not I washed my hair, there's a distinct feel that my hair has after being washed.

I also see if the bottles are in a different location/position than when I entered.

I think you first developed CRS about 10 years ago when we went to a bar and you forgot your jacket. Or do you not remember that?

Ha ha. Good times. Truth be told, I’ve had an issue forgetting, misplacing, and losing things my whole life.

I put the glass jars in my storage compartment of my grill in the backyard, to avoid smelling up the house.

I was just thinking about what clocks I may have that need to be manually set back tonight. So apparently I have three wall clocks in this house, zero of which have functioning batteries.

I'm just gonna keep ignoring them.

No, like fucking hand clocks hanging on walls that I'm not sure I knew even existed.

The Notes app is a real game changer.

As is the Adam Sandler song "Phone, Wallet, Keys"... I just have to add "Glasses" and when it's a work in the office day, the song gets much longer.

I use Notes all the time, keep a running list when the kids tell me we are almost out of something. I always count the number of things I need to remember, but that’s starting to fail. I should have learned from Caillou to make a song, I still remember that annoying bald fuckers shopping list 12 years later.

That’s the song. I was going to offer Swamp bucks to the first person that remembered the list. My high school Russian teacher taught verb conjugation and a lot of other things in songs. They are so deeply ingrained in my brain, I will recite it if I’m late stage dementia.

Yup. My son went through a brief stage where he was into Caillou. I think he related to having a baby sister. My wife said she liked it at the time, but I don't think she saw many episodes.
