Forgetting Favors

God, I'm so afraid sometimes that someone is spontaneously going to call me up or say hi to me sometime and I'm not going to remember what they gave me for Christmas. It's already happened once. But I managed to worm out of that one.

My grandparents called yesterday. Here is an excerpt in a nutshell:

Grandpa: Hello! Merry Christmas!
Me: Why hello! Merry Christmas to you too! And thank you [at this point I realize this sentence is sort of automatic and I really can't remember what they gave me] for your gift!
Me: Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, don't ask me anything about it, I liked it whatever it was, I just don't remember right now! Don't blame me if I can't remember!
Grandpa: Oh, no problem! You really liked it?
Me: Yeah, I've been anticipating that; looking forward to it! [various mumbling of random words that express gratitude as they pop into my head]

We get off Christmas for a while, and it's only until the exact moment I hang up a few minutes later that I remember what it was. Natch.

Transmitting

Yeah, so I haven't had the most motivation lately to do anything with this, for various reasons.

But that'll change. Spread the word.
