Microwave Surprise!

I can always tell when I am going through a busy time in my life by how many cups of coffee, tea, etc I leave in my microwave each week. Sometimes I even leave food in there, only to be found hours later.
Of course its not just food in the microwave..my forgetfullness spills out into all aspects of my life, like laundry in the washer, food out on the stove, missed appointments, forgetting to call someone. Seriously my life right now seems to be marked by forgetfullness!

For example, this week..I was supposed to call someone with a total for a Mary Kay order. I don't know why but I keep forgetting to call her. I will remember around Midnight that I didnt call her with the total..only to be forgotten once again in the morning.
So here I sit drinking cold tea and pondering if all my forgetfullness is a sign of old age, stress or both? You know I do keep a "to do" list so I don't forget anything. So maybe I should add check microwave . Of course..I would have to remember where I left the list.
