I am only sixty years old and I did not expect to have these senior moments. Since I had stopped working, I had quite a few.
A few months back, I wanted to make a duplicate of my house key. When I arrived at the shop, I realized that I had left my key in my car. So I had to walk back to my car. On the way back to my car, I bumped into an ex-colleague. We chatted for a few minutes. Then I walked back to the shop again. Only when I arrived at the shop did it hit me that I had not retrieved the key from my car.
Another problem that I encountered is that I had difficulty remembering where the heck I had parked my car. This usually happens in the car parks of shopping malls. Firstly, the car parks are huge and secondly, the whole place looks the same. So I had to resort to taking photos of where I parked my car.
Worse still, for our convenience, some car parks have installed ticketless parking. The system is able to scan your car plate number and the barrier automatically opens to let you drive in. This also solves the problem of losing your parking ticket. The problem occurs when you want to make payment and you have a problem recalling your car plate number. This can be quite embarrassing especially when there is a long queue behind you and you are still trying to remember your number.
There are times when I happen to meet friends or ex-colleagues in town. Their faces look very familiar and we will usually have a nice little chat. The problem is that I am unable to remember their names and am too shy to ask them. However, there is one instance where it is not entirely my fault. This is because the other person has dyed his hair black and he looks much younger.
I have one question for you. How many times a day do you look for your misplaced items such as keys, handphone or spectacles? This problem is not faced by me, my wife Roselind too spend a lot of time searching for her keys. It has become almost a daily occurence. Now I have a designated spot just to keep my keys and handphone.
I hope to be more organized and to keep memory sharp. Hopefully I can keep those senior moments to a minimum.
