let me walk you though my morning.
- Wake up a bit late
- go down to bike shed, I've forgotten my lunch
- go back to flat, get lunch, go back to shed
- I've forgotten my helmet, go back to flat
- go back to shed, I've got a flat tyre
- no tubes, walk to shop, fix puncture
- get to within 10m of where I had my big accident last year
- get knocked off by another cyclist who wasn't paying attention and drifted onto the wrong side of the road going down hill.
- help her as she's in shock, get her back on road.
- get to work, another puncture.
- missed all but the last 5 minutes of the webinar I was meant to attend.

Sounds like me:
- visit friend last night, forget to bring keys
- cycle home at 1 AM, no one in, locked out
- cycle back to friend's, sleep on his sofa
- this morning, cycle over flatmate's office to borrow keys
- get to flat, make coffee, accidentally leave the hob on for 30 mins
- cycle back to flatmate's office, realise I forgot my lunch
I think I have dementia or something

Edit: spent £6 on some some clamp-on friction shifters and a set of V-brakes to make myself feel better.

get to flat, make coffee, accidentally leave the hob on for 30 mins

While biking across spain I boiled some water on the hob for a tea, popped out after 10 minutes to get some grub, 20 minutes later I'm stood in the queue waiting to pay when it dawns on me that I've left a pan on the hob in a rented apartment.

Dropped my food and legged it the 5 minutes back to the flat to find that I'd also forgotten to put the pan on the hob and it was just roaring away doing it's thing warming the kitchen...
