Re: Todays Senior Moment
I've "lost" my car too many times to remember, usually in the IKEA or Carrefour Laval parking lots.
(I've also got as far as the bus stop on the way home - more than once - before remembering I drove into the city).
Made coffee without coffee grounds? Yup. It happens.
My latest & most frequent forgetful moments? Rampaging frantically & frustratedly through the house searching for my glasses... They are invariably to be found on my head

It is surprising (or worrying 
) that more haven't posted their moments.
Perhaps perhaps they've all convinced themselves they already did.

Re: Todays Senior Moment
Just the other day....
I work for a very small owner operator business. Boss comes in to the office and sees my confusion as to why nothing is coming out of the printer when I click print. The pair of us start checking the wires, making sure there is paper and looking at each other totally perplexed. Then I have a light bulb moment and I switch the printer back on! I had turned it off as part of a reboot and within seconds had forgotten that very small detail!! Lol

Found mislaid glasses on head - check that one off
Go to pour coffee - no coffee grounds in machine - check that one off
Go to drink tea - no teabag in cup/pot - check that one off
Light cigarette and look down to see another one in the ashtray, burning - check that one off
Writing an email and completely forgetting how to spell a word - check that one off
Writing an email and completely forgetting what a word is - check that one off
Putting something in fridge instead of cupboard (and vice versa) - check that one off
Going into a grocery store and not remembering what I specifically needed to buy til I get to the checkout - check that one off
Oh no! I think I've got Oldtimers!
