Your brain deliberately forgets trivial stuff. Do you really need to remember every lunch you had? Same goes for all the mundane stuff in history.
On the other hand so little of the mundane stuff was recorded that when we do see it it can be a window into how people actually lived, like Samuel Pepys diary. The daily stuff was so accepted as boring and common knowledge that it wasn't considered worth recording.
And stuff like that is absolutely facinating to me, in small doses anyway. I keep a journal and I think I'll write a few pages about what my routine is. At home on the weekend and at work.
