I have something very similar. When I get very focused on something, you can ask me what I had for breakfast, and I'll vividly remember and recount making an omelette; but that was three weeks ago. This goes for pretty much anything, even very unique events. I can remember it well, but I can only place it within about an 8 month period, even if it was just a week or two ago. I'm quite nervous about ever having to be in a court proceeding, giving a deposition or anything like that where specific dates are required; it just escapes me how people remember this stuff.
