Where is my Spoon, a play in one act, and a true story

"The meal is ready. Where did I put my spoon?

Is it here? No.

Is it there? No.

Where did I put my GODDAMN spoon? I'm sure I had it earlier.

Where did I put my MOTHERFUCKING SPOON???

Oh, yeah. It's in my mouth. :headache:"

Well I keep MEANING to post but it turns out I actually haven’t, soooo there’s that.

Ooops. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I suppose.

I do have two pieces of very good news, however:

1. Today is our 29th birthday 🎉
2. Ashley performed “To Dance with a Cyclone” completely off book last night at Linneman’s! Whattttt

Here’s a video of his performance:

Have an awesome day, and I’ll do the same.

Part of the function of memory is to forget; the omni-retentive mind will break down and produce at best an idiot savant who can recite a telephone book, and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterday.

A quotation from Nietzsche

Blessed are the forgetful: for they “get the better” even of their blunders.
 
[Selig sind die Vergesslichen: denn sie werden auch mit ihren Dummheiten “fertig”.]

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) German philosopher and poet
Jenseits von Gut und Böse [Beyond Good and Evil], Aphorism 217 (1886) [tr. Zimmern (1906)]

I'm not terrible at remembering things, but I sometimes forget. 😭

I tried using applications to remind myself of things I need to do.

But then, I'd forget to use those apps.

A moment ago, I thought, "I better remember tomorrow that it is Festivus." Then, I decided to put it on my calendar as a yearly event. That way, I won't forget.

:holdthepain: Who am I kidding? I'll be reminded in the morning, and then I'll forget within five minutes.

I am very sorry about the above post. I started typing and then my cat interrupted me. Now, I don't remember what I wanted to say.

OMG! Home Assistant is unable to access the calendars on my Nextcloud instance. What's going on?

After 30 minutes of inspecting logs, and trying to figure things out... I realize... that I forgot we had a power outage... and this server does not turn back on automatically.

The solution was to turn it on.

A quotation from J. M. Barrie

WENDY: Oh! Peter, when Captain Hook carried us away —
PETER: Who’s Captain Hook? Is it a story? Tell it me.
WENDY: (aghast) Do you mean to say you’ve even forgotten Captain Hook, and how you killed him and saved all our lives?
PETER: (fidgeting) I forget them after I kill them.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
When Wendy Grew Up — An Afterthought (1908, publ. 1957)

"I lost my glasses, I don't know where I left them. Is it age?"

Age is used here like in other situations jealousy: an umbrella or catalogue of possible reasons we still did not pinpoint as the cause, side effect or symptom.

Forgetfulness, for whatever reason, including organic, stress, theft, Mobbing at work a too eager to tidy flat mate or nesting partner, the tooth fairy, etc.

Circulation problems and/or brain degradation from e. G. Hormonal or organic changes can definitely induce forgetfulness (sometimes reversible, sometimes not). Age itself not really.

Not everybody who ages get forgetful, quite far from that. Still a lot of people do, and instead of saying it inevitable, we can see what can be done about it (medication, community support, etc).

Not bitching, as usual pledging for more precision in the language in order to not normalise this or that idea.

A quotation from Rogers, Will:

«
That’s the characteristic of our country. We can get all lathering at the time over some political campaign promise, or some conference pledge, but if the thing just drags along long enough we forget what it was that originally promised. The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office.

Ever walk into a room and forget what you went in there for?
Well, I just stood up to go do something, and no sooner was I on my feet and two steps from my chair than I realized I no longer knew what it was I had got up to do.

I forgot to report earlier, but I think Milkshake (Maddox's pre-shelter name) has learned how to move the toilet seat up, because when I went to look this morning it was up!!!

But I put it down last night! Gotcha, dastardly cat!

My phone rings to remind me to take my medicine.

I get up and pick up my glass because I'm going to need water too.

I go to the kitchen, refill the glass, park my butt back on the chair and realize that I did not take my pill.
