I have an odd question, have you forgotten where you are?

I get lost driving around the area where I've lived for 20 years. My problem is that I know what road I'm on, I just don't know if I'm going N,E,S, or W until I pass something I recognize. Brain Fade, and lack of paying attention.
Funny part is that I never get lost in the RV, because I plan my route and print out maps. I need a compass in my daily driver.

I forgot I was married and couple of times and I went to the wrong house.

Yep!!! Regularly. For 39 years I've worked a rotating shift work schedule of day's, evening's and nights with my days off changing from some time's every week to usually every 6 weeks. Many a day I've awoke and had to think for a few second's as to why I set the alarm and where do I have to be today? It's happened to me in our RV too! More than once I've awoke to the RV clock radio alarm and found myself not sure of where I am, where we are, and what I'm supposed to be doing. Since the early 60's I've had a recurring nightmare. It seem's to alway's show up when I'm most tired after only a few hours sleep and when I'm close to my day's off. I usually take several seconds to clear the head and know life's still good and where I'm at. I'm wondering if after I retire in 299 more days and we start RV'ing 3/4 time, if I'll still have the same dreaded type nightmare wakeups. It's nice to think that maybe retirement and rv'ing 3/4 time will finally cure the dream. Details to follow!!!

Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)

I worked as a cop for 20 years and we switched every week from midnight to 8 AM, 8 AM to 4 PM, 4 PM to midnight I would have done anything to work steady tours and it never happened but with my luck the department switched to steady tours about a year after I retired. Working rotating tours for 20 years can mess upm your system, my first year as a rookie I almost didn't show up for work because I thought it was a day off but I was due in at midnight. My department had crazy hours we would only work 4 midnights but would have rotating days off we would come in for the first 2 mids then have a day off and then come back for 2 more days, the next time out we would work 3 days have one day off the come back in for one day

I can't say I have while in the TT, but I have a few times while either in a hotel or staying at my mothers. I always blamed it on the beer though.
