I started putting hot pepper sauce on my granddaughter's bowl of pasta instead of mine. Lifted out the pieces affected and stirred the rest together with some cheese. Sorted.

Had a dream last night that I had to go back to college and I'm blaming that somehow for why I forgot to wear a belt today.

I have this jar of dried chili flakes that I always forget doesn't have a sprinkler bit on the top, it's just open, so several times I've just dumped like quarter of a jar on my/ my kids' food then had to try and scrape it off

Hate it when I forget to wear a belt. No one ever says anything, but man. Might as well be wearing a leotard.

Today I was hanging out laundry - took out a grey tshirt and wondered why I hadn't remembered it was dip-dye/ ombre effect. Considered that perhaps the bottom half had somehow got a bit dryer during the spin section of the cycle with the top half staying wetter (it was quite a small load), but it didn't feel unevenly damp.
Took me a minute or so to remember I was wearing gradient tinted sunglasses 😎

There's a very famous actress who's starred on a TV show, been in movies, written books... and I can not remember her name. I can sure as hell remember her character's name, but not her IRL name.
I can see her face, hear her voice, name all of the other actors she's done work with. I can even see the book cover in my mind, but I can not for the life of me remember her name.
I could google the answer in four seconds, but I'd really, really like to figure this one out on my own.

At this point, it's a block because I know it's a block. And just like losing hiccups once you become unaware that you have hiccups, I'll remember this woman's name again.

I swear I picked up biscuits at the store during my first visit there in a week. I even remember scanning them because the bar code was partially hidden by a seam in the packaging. So where are they now?
This is not the first time this has happened.

I went a week of trying to remember the actress' name on my own, but finally had to confess to my wife what was happening.
She acted her name out in Charades and when it finally hit me, it felt like one of my brain lobes folded open, like turning to the M's in an oversized dictionary on display in a bookstore.

that's a great way of telling the answer. what was it? can you act it out pls?
