This weekend, I stepped out of the shower, turned around, and flipped my head over the side of the tub to put my hair up in a towel (if this alarms you, ask someone with long hair - the hair flip becomes habit).
In doing so, I solidly banged my head on the rin of our cast-iron bathtub.
Needless to say, I got a lovely bump.
I didn't pass out and my pupils were normal (no concussion, I trust). So that night, after seeing Nate's Play (King Lear) with his family, I went to bed in my bed.
I woke up on the couch at around 4 in the morning and instinctively walked back to the bed. As I did so, I woke up a little more and I realised that I had NO RECOLLECTION WHATSOEVER of going to the couch! What was I doing there? How did I get there?
Ack!
I'm not a sleepwalker, either.
The next day, as I was talking on the phone with my mom, I was simultaneously searching through my pockets for our cell phone. I couldn't find it anywhere.
I asked Nate, "Do you know where the phone is?"
"What phone?" he replied.
"Our cell phone," I said (note to the reader: our only phone is our cell phone).
He looked at me incredulously and pointed to my ear. "You're on it," he said.
Oh good lord - my brain is going.
Things are better now. I haven't lost the phone since, and I haven't ended up mysteriously on the couch! :)
Have any of you ever had weird losses of time? Do tell!
love,

Posted by lizington at October 26, 2004 10:14 AMMy earliest memory is of being stung by a bee when I was 5. What happened to the first 4 years of my life?

We've been married four years. I've never been in a relationship w/ a Frank, and have none in my inner circle of family, friends, etc.
Thank heavens I didn't call him Frank, but wow - what was that all about?

I've also had a bit of the memory lapse problem a few times when I've napped and then awakened during the day. That totally throws me off. I awoke from a nap one time at about 6 or 6:30 in the evening to a house full of people (we were hosting a game night) and I felt like I was in a dream. I would talk to someone and then after they walked away I couldn't remember if I had really just talked to them or not. Super-Freaky!
