Placenta Brain

I can't find my jeans. I know my husband wouldn't take them. Yes, they seem to have walked away. I have placenta brain. 

I lost my slippers. I looked everywhere possible but they were nowhere to be found. I went out and bought new ones, and to my surprise, found the same comfortable pair on sale. Two weeks later I found two pairs of the same slippers in the shoe rack. I have placenta brain. 

A stranger greeted me at the food store. But she wasn't a stranger for she knew my name. She even knew I was having a boy and am due in this summer. I pretended I just couldn't remember her name, but recognized her. But when she told me, no bell was rang. I drew a blank. I have placenta brain. 

While speaking to a friend, I called my husband by the wrong name. No idea why, as I didn't even know anyone with that name. I have placenta brain.

While watching a sad movie, I started crying to the point of hysteria. My husband wasn't sure if I was crying or laughing, as it didn't stop for twenty minutes. The next two days I was in a fog and couldn't focus on anything. I have placenta brain. 

Having a little spare time on my hands, I decided to do something creative. I took out my paint, pencils and sketchbook. I sat down to create a masterpiece. Nothing came out. Thirty minutes later, I decided to do a brainless sudoku puzzle instead. I have placenta brain. 

I took my dog for a walk so she could take some enjoyment in her bowel movement. There she went, and I had nothing with me to scoop the poop. I had to walk all the way home, get a bag, and go for walk number two. I have placenta brain.
