It's so nice to 'talk' to someone who understands. I've always been afraid of grocery stores and other big stores like Wal-Mart (yikes). I agree with you too about staying home, although I feel better if I get out a little bit.
I'm a total scatterbrain too/absent minded professor type. Lose things, forget things, am always late. Brain fog is a term used for a hypothyroidism symptom, which I have. Do you have it? It's a yucky feeling for sure.

The smaller quieter stores tend to cost more. If I had my way, I think I'd never leave the house. I've always wanted to be an urban hermit.
