Leave yourself a note

I must remember to leave myself notes.  I need a note by the heater to say,  "Switch off."  I may however, put a note that says, "Don't put your knickers in the microwave.  This pays tribute to my late neighbour who loved warm knickers in the cold weather.

When heating up the frying pan I need a note to remind me that I am actually turning on the hotplate.  Then there should be one to turn the hot plate off after cooking.  Oh yeah and one on the oven so I don't heat the whole kitchen up.  Of course there has to be a note on the hot water tap that says, "Don't even think about leaving the tap on while you go off on a wander around the house."  My taps have been installed the wrong way round so the hot tap is where the cold tap should be.  I know that now but down the track a bit I will have to put a sign up on the tiles. The garden tap needs a note to remind me to turn it off.  Why I even turn it on I don't know.

There will eventually be so many notes to remind me to do things that the whole house will look like a snow storm: a positive confetti of notes fluttering in the breeze.

On top of everything I will hang a huge banner that says, "READ THE NOTES, THE NOTES, THE PAPER THINGS, YOU KNOW THE PIECES OF PAPER WITH WORDS ON THEM, THE ONES, YOU KNOW THE ONES: READ THEM."

Overkill, I think not!

I just realized that I repeated myself.  I wrote a blog about incipient dementia and then wrote about some of my lapses again in this blog.  Never fear BACK SPACE AND CUT are my lifeline from idiocy to seeming sanity.
