Ok..... so I've truly lost the plot!!

I know that I started to respond to someone on here the other day,talking about music and things,and it was only late last night that I realised I never actually finished my answer off.... now either someone's seen my reply and just thought 'she's nuts,leave her be' or they're sitting there scratching their heads wondering what on earth I was doing/going on about?!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Either way,pls let me know who it was that I must have stopped talking to halfway through,and if I can remember what I was originally going to write,I'll try and finish my answer off for you๐Ÿ˜Š

I swear it's the drugs.... it's got to be.... it can't possibly be old age,I'm only just 43 for crying out loud!!๐Ÿ˜

And yep,for those that really do know me,they've probably just gotten used to me going off on a tangent halfway through a conversation and end up talking about something completely different to what was originally spoken about..... please,please tell me I'm not the only one that does things like this?๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜

Oh,and the pic is of my three gorgeous cats - Minnie gets so much 'air time' as it were that I felt it only right that Thomas,Meg and Mog also got a look in!! And yep,this is a perfectly normal pose or way for them to all curl up together ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ป

Hi - no it's not just you - lots of people on here complain about "brain fog". I'm certainly having problems currently and emailed someone to ask them to do something which is actually next month not this...

and I was much worse when on methotrexate, so much so that my d-I-l though I was getting senile dentures.

Hi mary4444

The cats are mine - all rescues,and we got Thomas a good 8 months before the girls,which is why we can't believe how lucky we are with the fact they love each other so much that they will literally walk around the house calling for one another before they have a nutty half hour running up and down the stairs together - because it's an open plan staircase with carpet they think it's just one huge cat tower,which is fun to watch,just not so much fun every time you trip over one of their 'carefully' placed toys ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Yep,blue badge all sorted - I just had to speak to DWP to ask for a duplicate entitlement letter sent through so that I can scan it across once it gets here - and for once the person on the PIP helpline was really really polite and helpful.... usually I get some stuck up old mare,but this time the young guy couldn't be helpful enough๐Ÿ˜Š Also spoken to Essex council about the forms possibly being delayed,and as they've already got my new pic,and it's a renewal,not just a new badge,she said it shouldn't be a problem - even did the form filling but on phone with me do I didn't have to login to the laptop for anything..... all in,successful day,which included lots of running around for mums Physio today(she gad another shoulder op two months back,so still can't drive herself) and then TWO walks over the local park with Minnie,in which she met lots of new dogs,and I met some lovely people too,including a local dog walker.... very handy to know๐Ÿ˜Š Just off to bath the muddy Minnie now,as she no longer looks white,or smells like a pup either๐Ÿ˜ข.

Hope you have as much fun on your walk out.

I've got some lovely pics of the cats to send,which I'll do later tonight xx

Brain fog popsmith1874 - it's definitely not that... this is just one of my 'moments' I feel๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜when I had that (brain fog,full blown)I would literally have full conversations on the phone with people and not remember a single thing about it.... that and plenty more๐Ÿ˜‚ That's part of the reason that I'm on hapoctssin patches as one of my treatments - because my mum was so worried about the brain fog style effects towards my medication,that she frogmarched me down to the doctors to get my meds changed..... I was doing so many crazy things that she was seriously worried I'd accidentally overdose on the OxyContin/oxynorm that she wanted something done to prevent it!! Good job for supportive family,or god only knows what I would've ended up doing!!๐Ÿ˜œ
