For the past few weeks, I was bothered by 'bees in my bonnet'. Those bees were those adapters, (transformers), I have for my musical movements and boxes. Numbering about a dozen, I had packed them carefully inside a box. I started to search for them, for I needed them to run my musical boxes. Frantic, I even opened some of the big boxes under the staircase. Frustrated, I walked around and stood in front of the storeroom. Looking up, I saw all the adapters neatly arranged on the shelf! What a jackass, I had forgotten that I had much earlier unpacked them and laid them neatly on the shelf.
I have been plagued by my poor memory lately. Only this morning, I remember going to Cold Storage but had forgotten what I wanted to buy there. After browsing for a while, did I jog my memory that I wanted to buy garlic bread.
Looking for something or other, I rummage through, and after finding it, I took it out. After I have tidied up the place, I had forgotten where I put the darn thing again.
On several occasions, I started out to a certain location only to forget why I went there in the first place.
Lately I have a lot on my mind trying to settle in the new place, and trying to deal with some personal problems. I am very weary and tired and hope things will eventually work out.
Anyway the new place is coming along nicely. I managed to tidy up and put up some of my things. Last week, the home theatre system was set up and is now running. Cost me a bomb for it. Bought some DVD movies and saw King Arthur. I actually sat through it without falling asleep.
The new sofa and living room furniture are very comfortable. So comfortable that when I tried to watch a television show, I fell asleep. During the evening, it is nice to sit down to listen to music, or read. Reason for the comfort, it is reclining.
I am looking forward to set up my grotto in the living room. The area is ready, except that the painters will be coming to give the place a final coating of paint. So I wait a while longer for them. Unfortunately, I still have things unpacked but have problems finding a place to put them. This is a problem because some of the things will be required on a day to day basis. In time to come, I will forget which box I left them in.
Till then....

Age is catching up and now that you move to a new place and have so much to do, it is not surprising you forget things. Take your time to unpack and don't give yourself too much stress. Maybe you should allocate 2 hours every day to unpack and the rest of the time, to enjoy the comfort of your new home! Lily
Thanks. I am trying to relax but cannot sit still. Too many things going through my head all the time.
