Amnesia or just laziness?

So I just spent about half a hour trying to remember what my username for this damn blog was, let alone my password!! I think it is an indication that I have not blogged often enough since I created my account, as in, never.

Now I am not usually a forgetful person. I admit that things to do occasionally slip my mind, such as peoples names about 2 seconds after I have met them (I credit this to the fact that I don't give a rats arse about them, and if they were more interesting I would be more inclined to remember who the hell they were). But lately I have been forgetting lot of the more important things I should be remembering - such as homework that needs to be done, and things I need to take to tafe or God help me I will cop it from the lecturers!!

Can I credit this recent spate of memory loss to stress induced amnesia, or am I just getting lazy??

I have always been one of those people that writes endless notes about things I MUST NOT FORGET such as "new flavour of toilet spray" on the shopping list, or "call doctor re that nasty rash". These endless bits of paper have kept my life nicely organised and running per schedule until about a week ago, when things went haywire. Are my trusty scraps of paper, backs of envelopes and sticky yellow notes failing me in my old age?? (upcoming birthday reference here)

Or am I simply getting lazy? - not bothering to even look at those "trusty" notes once written, not once glancing in my diary to see what needs to be done at 3am before I have to get up 3.5 hours later and head off to tafe....

It seems I have asked more questions than I have answered here, so perhaps it is time to stop procrastinating and just get on with doing the tasks that are scribbled on endless numbers of paper scraps strewn around my living room floor.
