MustardSeed Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 For a month I’ve had an old friends birthday event on my calendar. It was RSVP dinner event, this evening. We talked about it yesterday. I mentioned it to my husband today day at 2. We went to the movies after work. I just got home, opened the fridge, and saw the invite. And yelled. What is wrong with me? I feel awful. Should I send my friends husband money for our dinner? Invite them out for an evening ? I haven’t been social in months, I’m so swamped and my husband too. Ugh I just feel awful I’m sure there was a good crowd there but still, I said I’d be there.
strappinglad Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Eventually it will get to the point that you will start driving to the store for milk and in a couple of blocks, forget why you are in the car. It's not pretty. 1

rpn Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Send them the cost of your dinner (and suggest they donate it if they don't want to accept it. Apologize profusely. But don't set another date until you are less stressed and can make it. 3

Garden Girl Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Yes, welcome to the world... I've done that type of thing.. in fact, just yesterday I called my doc's office and was apologizing profusely for missing my appt that day that I had just noticed on my calendar... the receptionist said... You don't have an appt today; we rescheduled for January... I didn't remember rescheduling... GG 1
Rain Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 I once didn't show up for an RS activity that I was really looking forward to. Like you, I remembered just a few hours earlier. Later I mentioned this to someone and they said something about not forgetting things for which you make a priority. So totally not true. I WANTED to go to it. Sometimes our brains do not cooperate. 2
