I fancied a Chicken Pot Pie but I needed my reading glasses to see how long to nuke it. I went in the living room, put my glasses away that were on the coffee table, and then forgot why I went into the living room.🤣
At least you are self aware enough to notice you forgot. When you start leaving heating elements on and not remembering you ever turned them on, that's when you need to visit a retirement home/assisted living.
Today when I was doing the dishes I couldn't find the sink plug, hunting all over for it, I thought it was lost until I looked in the sink.. oh, I already put it in. lol.
I vaguely remember that there was a study done on this kind of forgetfulness and it seems that it is very common that walking through a doorway into another room makes one forget. Apparently it afflicts almost everyone to some degree or another.
