Moonie's Not So Secret Diary

Coffin Motels

I guess that might have gotten your attention. Haha

I heard that in Japan, if you can't find a room to rent, you can rent a coffin space.

From what I understand, you slide in and there's things in there like a TV and radio on the top wall, in case you're not quite ready for sleep.

I told my oldest son, who is visiting Japan soon, that it would be pretty scary for me.

Then my mind decided to explore that idea. What if you woke up with less organs or didn't wake up for some reason? Or what if the coffins are actually part of something bigger, like rocket-fueled coffin automated missiles. At some point, you land in outer space. lmao

Seems like a premise worth exploring story-wise though. Thought I'd share it and see if anyone else can come up with a scenario or two.

Hmm. If I get time maybe I'll make it a contest, if I can remember how.

* Sundowner's Syndrome

I tend to forget things later in the evening. My son was extremely upset with me, because he thought I was messing with him that I didn't remember something that happened many, many years ago. I asked him for where it happened, he said he wasn't going to give me a clue. But one or two words He said helped me with recall.

He was angry with me. until he suddenly realized I'd truly not remembered.

Then he broke down. I've never seen him so upset. Unfortunately, hed been drinking, which made things worse. I had to remind him that there's nothing wrong with me. He said it means that it's only going to get worse. I do not agree, at least not to a point.

It's called Sundowners syndrome. It's not a disease. Whew! I didn't know there was a name for it. I did have a brain injury once, so that couldn't have helped much. I've had other people, who are much younger than me, tell me they've had that same thing happen.

I have to remember so many things in order to take care of not just me, my health, the bills, my car, but also my son, my dog, my home.

When I was a teen, I had less to worry about. Homework, work outside the home, the fact I'd never really dated and had no idea how to do that then.

As for memory lapse, I just figured my synapses got tired and didn't fire off as they normally would, so I couldn't fully process the information.

I can remember many scenarios from umpteen years past, even as to where I was, who was standing where, the mood, plus things that were said.

Yet, during recall and evening, I might not remember until the next day.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts. I'd like to know if anyone here has had this happen.
