Three mental lapses for the day:

(1) Forgot to lock my front door. I was almost out of the building when I remembered, or couldn’t, if I locked the door to my apartment.

(2) Got lost in my office. I was on the 3rd floor for a short meeting and when it was finished, I was coming down the stairs back to my desk, which is on the 1st. Then, I realised, I was on the ground floor on the way out of the building!

(3) Mixed pasta shells. Re-filling the pasta jar when I noticed that there was another bundle. When I poured that to the jar, it was penne when the rest is fusilli.
