Sometimes when you do something a lot, every time you do it is kind of the same. So it's easy to forget. I live in the city and park my car everyday when I come home in a different spot. So next morning I'm not sure where it is because each days blends into the next. Therefore, I can see why you forget where you puts things in the kitchen. Next time you want to tell a story just start by saying, "Did I tell you this"? it's hard for me too to remember people's names esp. if I don't see them on a regular basis. My husband said maybe I should write them down, think I will. As for the depression and anxiety, my husband has that and gets great relief from taking long walks...good luck ! PS I'm also 72
