…when you wonder if you are losing your mind? Or wonder if there’s any mind left to lose? (Somebody please say YES!) Well, today was one of those days…for me…

It started at breakfast. I decided to partake of a lite english muffin schmeared with cashew butter. Easy, right? I put the english muffin into the toaster & pushed down the lever. Ah the anticipation! A hot & toasty english muffin, so hot that the cashew butter melts into all those wonderful nooks & crannies! But where is the cashew butter? It isn’t on the shelf it’s “supposed” to be on. It isn’t on the shelf above “the” shelf. Or on the shelf above that shelf! In fact, it isn’t in the cupboard at all! (Trust me, I looked!) Did I put it in the other cupboard? Nope. Am I out of it? Nope. I KNOW I have almost a full jar! What time is it? I gotta start getting ready for work! I reckon it’s cream cheese & sugar-free jelly instead. (sigh of frustration. I REALLY want cashew butter!). So I open the refrigerator and get out the…cashew butter. The very cold, very hard, very solid cashew butter. So cold & hard & solid, in fact, that the knife I used to get it out broke! Determined though I was, so I spread the cold, hard cashew butter on my now cold, hard english muffin with the now broken knife.

What time is it? Crap! I REALLY need to get a move on! Rush rush rush! Lunch packed? Check! Shower? Check! Hair? It can air dry. Makeup? Check! Teeth brushed? Check! Purse? Check! Keys? WHERE ARE MY KEYS?!? Aaauuuggghhh!!! OF COURSE they aren’t hooked to my purse (or in my purse). OF COURSE they aren’t on the table. Or the counter. Or my dresser. Or the bathroom sink. (Someone just shoot me NOW!) Now wait! I had my keys last night when I took Emersyn out to pee & decided to get her lead out of my car since I was already outside so my keys HAVE to be…IN MY JACKET POCKET!!! (Yup! They were there!) Phew!

So I make it to work with (literally) one minute to spare. I look at the piles on my desk trying to remember where I left off. Deep breath. Everything’s going to be okay. Nothing else can go wrong today. I remember! Now I can pick up where I left off. I better put my glasses on. My glasses. Where are my glasses? I don’t see them on my desk. I thought I got them out! I guess I didn’t. (Sigh). Ah! There they are (in my purse)! I snap open the case and…no glasses. WHERE ARE MY GLASSES?!? My head itches. Why does my head itch? It’s probably this stupid headband! Scratch, scratch. That’s not a headband! IT’S MY GLASSES!

Luckily, the rest of the day wasn’t so bad. And thankfully, Emersyn knows our walking route (we walk the same route every time) because Lord knows, as bubble-headed as I’ve been of late, I’d probably get lost if left to my own devices!

As frustrated as my forgetfulness makes me, I’ve learned to laugh at it. After all, it’s all my hormones’ fault! Yup! That’s my story & I’m stickin’ to it!

Have a great evening all! I’m going to try to have a good evening as well. That is, of course, if I don’t forget!
