Cliff drives me up the wall several times a month because he refuses to "retrace his steps in his mind". He simply has no interest in such an exercise, and in fact I find myself wondering if he is actually unable to do this. To me it is so natural "I walked in the door, let the cats in, then the phone rang as I was on the way to the bathroom...". I'm not always successful, but the exercise is second nature to me and he looks at me like I've lost my mind when I try to get him to figure out where he might have left something.
My purse usually lives in my office, but it came upstairs with us last Thursday after my tooth extraction. He had to take me to an emergency chiro appt this morning and had to go back upstairs for my purse. Sitting in the doctor's office, I found ants in my purse as I was looking for my insurance card. Lots of ants. Cliff, where did you find my purse? I don't remember (at this point only ten minutes have passed between finding purse and my question). Finish the paperwork and again I say, where was my purse because wherever it was I need to go back and look for ants. Nothing. Asked him at least twice more over the course of the day and the whole "walk upstairs, figure out where we set Faith's purse, bring it downstairs to her" is as if it never happened.
Of course the item I'm usually trying to help him find by retracing his steps is his sunglasses case! He solved that issue by having three pair, but eventually all three have temporarily disappeared.
