Oh ho, so you are another one that does the same thing as me. My family can't understand how I can lose things inside my very own purse! Now I have solved that problem by putting it in exactly the same spot all the time.

This is how it was done: On the key ring is a small flashlight ( a freebie gift from a health plan that wanted our business at work ). There is one small zippered pocket in my purse that is near the top, and when you open the purse, it is seen very easily. The keys are dropped into here, but the small flashlight is positioned over the edge of the zipper so that it is outside of the pocket and the zipper is closed tightly against it so that it can't fall inside the pocket with the keys. Being red in color, it gets noticed right away as to where it is.

Would you believe that I figured this out only recently? Can't figure out why I never thought of a solution to this problem after all these years. I guess in the name of simplicity, it just never was thought of. Any doo dad hanging from a key ring could serve this purpose, really.

The old fog really does impair the thinking processes and even the problem solving unless one really pays attention to it. But there are days that even that gets so muddied up that it can't be done, no matter how you try. Things usually look better the next day.
