Oh - sorry I thought by AD you meant anti-depressant.
As to memory problems, I think a LOT of people begin to experience that in their 50's. My husband & I certainly do. (As I said, mine began with Celexa. I was hoping that when I stopped it, my memory would return to normal, but over 2 years after stopping, it hasn't!)
My husband once left his card in the machine & once left the cash sitting there in the machine!!! Believe it or not, it was turned in to the teller, so he did get it, but BOY was he embarrassed! I hope you do go to the bank & just make light of it!! I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time it's happened!!
I've been known to be looking everywhere for at least ONE of my 2 pairs of reading glasses & have announced to my husband to please tell me if he finds them, only to find BOTH of them perched on my head!!! (I tuck them up onto the top of my head when not using them sometimes.)
I am so sorry you go home to an empty house. How long have you been in your new town?
I've put a new 'subject line' to this post in hopes of attracting suggestions for you.
I will have suggestions for you myself, but it's almost 10:30 pm now & I'm pretty tired, so I'll wait until tomorrow to post again.
It indicates that you're new here, so welcome.
bye for now, Kath
PS - I also have to take particular notice when shopping at a mall, as to which door I came into the mall at. Otherwise I'd have no idea where I'd parked. I also try to take note of the location in the parking lot. Otherwise I might end up walking up & down rows. Stress can have a huge negative impact on our memory.
