why are elephants so forgetful?

I have had the hardest time remembering things the last few days. Just in the last few hours I have added to my planner 5 things that I had completely forgotten about until right now. I hate that. I wish I could remember things better. I don't like when things sneak up on me. Like RIGHT NOW! I just remembered I have to call my parents back. My mom left a message Sunday and tonight i got the second worried phone call. just a sec..k. I'm worried I will forget something like going to work or something halfway serious like the chicken in the fridge I'm defrosting. Well i'm working tomorrow again so its off to bed.
