It seems I’m not yet old enough not to deceive myself. What lies do you tell yourself?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t have two (or three) of the ingredients for this recipe. It should taste the same without them.
I’m putting my keys in a different place than where they usually go. I’ll remember where they are.
I’ll eat only a little ice cream.
That’s a great story idea I had. I don’t need to write it down.
I don’t need the address. I’ll recognize the place when I get there.
I don’t need the instructions. How hard can it be?
I’m too tired to finish [task] tonight. I’ll get up really early tomorrow morning and finish it before I have to leave.
I’ll always remember where I took this photo, the names of all the people, the exact date it was taken.
I’ll remember my new logon and password.
Analogous to “I don’t need the address”: I don’t need directions, I’ve been there before. Also, my biggie: I’ll come back after dinner (lunch, nap, shopping) and finish that scene tonight.
Ah, yes, the “I’ll stay up late to finish up” is a good one!
