Frustratingly, I still often do not write down the note in the first place. Often, it's due to pure laziness--it takes effort to put a memory down in writing. Today, it was due to the inconvenient timing of the idea.
I was in the shower when I realized something that I should get for my trip to Kansas City. I was heading to Freddy's anyway, so it would be the perfect time to pick it up. Sadly, by the time I dried off, I could no longer remember what I wanted to get. I've spent a good portion of the day trying to recreate the thought pathway that took me to the idea, but to no avail. Doubtless, the idea will come to me after I need it.
Perhaps I need a chalkboard for the shower.
