Falling asleep, but this is mainly because we've been experiencing hot weather, opening jars...I have arthritis in my left hand and mild carpal tunnel in the right hand (if my son is handy, I have him open the jar for me), relaxing...it's hard to relax when your neighbors are being loud and obnoxious. Not to mention that the people in apt. 6 (the loud/obnoxious ones) have now acquired a small dog that barks non-stop! Dogs aren't allowed in the apartments, cats only.

I don't currently have any trouble with these. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep, but that's been OK recently.

Balancing a checkbook--I'm always off a few bucks. *wry smile*

Of these, just falling asleep and reading maps. Everything else is okay and I can parallel park anywhere.

I am a victem of most of these.
However, the secret to keeping your keys is be in the habit of always having them close to you, like instead of your purse, keep them in your pocket, and always put them in the same place untill it is a habit. I feel uncomfortable without my keys.

I have trouble getting enough sleep, mostly my own fault (for some reason I refuse to go to bed at a decent hour) but my kids being early and not very considerate risers doesn't help.

I don't have trouble with any of these! If any was a problem at all it would be remembering phone numbers, but I program all the important ones into my cell phone so I don't need to remember them.*smile*

Balancing my checkbook - Oh wait, my card is not working for some reason.
Falling asleep

None of these things but plenty of other stuff - getting down to work for example.

I can't balance a checkbook so I do everything online...and I can never find my keys so I have one of those little g-locking hooks on my purse so I can lock them onto my purse when I'm done. That way I never lose them anymore.

I also have trouble with:
1. Falling asleep (sometimes)
2. Parallel parking (I should be a pro by now!)
3. Relaxing
4. Remember phone numbers

I suspect that everyone has trouble opening jars sometimes. I'm hopeless at remembering numbers and I have had problems paying bills on time now and then.

I have trouble falling asleep (but maybe it's cause I go to sleep at 4PM), parallel parking, and relaxing.

I have trouble falling asleep. I have to be past the brink of exhaustion to fall asleep at night. If I'm not I can't shut down my mind long enough to go to sleep. The sad thing is I don't even have to being contemplating anything important. Sometimes it's the stupid little thoughts that keep me awake for hours. I tried counting sheep once, but that didn't work because they were making too much noise. I think I might have a slightly overactive imagination!

It's the geniuses who often have the most difficulty with mundane, everyday tasks....take comfort in that.

finding my keys, opening jars (what can i say, I'm a weakling), parallel parking (I never learned how), and i also have trouble with remembering names.... i seriously forget them right after someone tells me their name. It's really very pathetic.
