I remember you

Hayley has had a head like a sieve this week. She can't remember names, the times or dates of her appointments or even everyday words.

For example, yesterday she cancelled the pedicure she had planned because she had an aromatherapy appointment at the hospital that clashed with it. (She's starting to sound a bit pampered, I know. But at 8 months she is definitely starting to deserve it!) However, she had got the date wrong and so she had cancelled the treat for her feet for no reason. This sort of jumbling of dates is commonplace for her at the moment.

Other things she has forgotten are: a hair appointment; the milk she specifically went to the shop to buy; the name of the colleague who has sat next to her for the last 18 months.

I may start to wear a name badge.
