What is going on in my head?

Today was a red letter day. I found my street directory, my school lanyard and a little zipper purse I am making. So today I had a win and found three things all on the same day. I have of course been hunting for them for a few days and just when I think I have finally lost my wits they all appear. It should really be difficult for me to lose things. My unit is not large and there are only so many places where I can put things. I know that I have not lost the things I am looking for, I have lost my actual mind. My mind knows perfectly well where the things are but it refuses to tell me. I am thinking of investing in a little tape recorder so that when I put something down I record it and then when I am looking for the said thing the little machine will tell me in my own voice where the object is. In essence this is a great idea, however, I know that I will lose the little machine and be no better off than I was before. It is debatable whether I am more forgetful than I used to be but I do seem to spend a lot more time looking for things than I used to. By the by, isn't it silly when you say, "I found the thing in the last place I looked." Of course it was in the last place you looked nitwit, why would you keep looking after you have found it. I was always fond of hide and seek when I was a child and now I get to play it practically every day.
