Mother was at one of my parents' properties, so she was going to be home late.

That gave me the time, I think, to pick up my dry cleaning at my shrink's office tower and then buy some chocolates for work.

Well, the code didn't work to enter the locker in order to pick up the dry cleaning.  I think it's been so long that they took it back.  And then I left the area without going to the mall right next door to the office tower and buying the chocolates.  So now I have to go back out to buy it before the mall closes, while wasting gas in my car in the process.

I hate forgetting.
