Pregnancy Fog: The Sims Version Where Every Task Gets Canceled

Pregnancy fog is not a cute phrase. It is the worst!

At this point, I feel like a Sim who walks into a room, stops in the doorway, and immediately forgets why they are there. No task. No context. Just standing still while the game glitches.

I have officially lost my glasses and they have been missing for five days. Not misplaced for an afternoon. Not “they’re probably on my head.” Fully lost. Gone. I have retraced steps, checked bags, checked pockets, checked places no glasses have ever belonged. Nothing.

Two weeks ago, I also lost my debit card. That one disappeared with confidence. It has not returned and I have accepted that it now exists in a different timeline.

Because pregnancy fog apparently demands escalation, I also managed to also lose my backup pair of glasses. This led to me completing detailed work using literal opera glasses. They work but definitely dont give off the professional vibe at work.

Small victory in the chaos! I found an eyeglass prescription (actually my old one and totally useless) but silver lining it reunited me with my backup pair! This felt like winning a scavenger hunt I did not sign up for. I was proud. Possibly too proud. Which is probably why the universe punished me by now misplacing my insulin carrying case......

Still, this constant losing and forgetting is the worst part. I can handle needing help getting out of bed. I can handle insulin adjustments. I can handle trying to sneak snacks im not supposed to have like a raccoon. But my brain fully checking out mid thought is a special kind of betrayal.

I forget why I open the fridge. I forget why I pick up my phone. I forget what I was saying halfway through a sentence.

So please tell me this ends.

Please tell me my brain comes back.

Because right now it feels like it has taken its own maternity leave and did not leave an out of office message.
