Hello ,
I need to have all the things for my day with me. On the list are the books and sheets for work, the correct clothing, and an umbrella. Some of the equipment I use lives in my bag, so it's always with me.
The evening before a work day, I try to think of all the things I'll need and put them in my work bag. I lay out extra pieces of clothing with the things I plan to wear the next morning.
Generally, my system works really well. However, sometimes things go wrong.
One day, I left home for the walk to the train station. About halfway to the station, it started to rain. Thank goodness my umbrella was in my backpack!
But something was wrong. Where was my backpack?
I didn't have it with me!
For a moment, I was horrified. But the embarrassing answer was that it was still at home (with all my work things and umbrella safely inside!). Somehow, I'd walked out the door without it 😳.
So much for all my careful planning!
I felt silly turning around and walking back to my flat, but I needed my books for the day. Going back took some time, but I had left extra early the first time, so I wasn't late.
In the end, I was thankful for that bit of rain. It would have been a difficult day without any gear (1)!
The other day, I scared myself again.
I wanted to go to the bakery to buy some bread. Everything was organised, so I thought, and I headed out the door.
Outside, I stopped.
When I leave my building, I put my door keys into my shoulder bag with my purse. However, this time, I didn't have my bag. Although I had a bag to carry the bread home in, I didn't have my bag with the money to pay for it!
Feeling silly again, I went back upstairs and got my shoulder bag with my purse in it.
Well, , I hope you don't do crazy things like me! But if you sometimes forget things (like me!), feel free tqo tell me about it.
May your week be free of forgetful moments!
Andrea
