My first senior moment of the morning. How is your day going?

So I'm walking into my kitchen to turn on the water for my second cup of coffee when it occurs to me that I have Reece's Cup in the fridge. I go the fridge and get distracted by most leftover sushi from last night, so I eat a couple of pieces of that instead of the Reece's Cup. Then I leave the kitchen without turning on the coffee water. Upon returning to the kitchen, I am distracted by the fact that I'm writing this post in my head and checking the dishes in the sink. I ALMOST leave the kitchen a second time without turning on the water. How is your day going? Any moments of spaciness yet? As my girlfriend used to say, "Are you senile or just stupid?" I think I'm a little bit of both.

Skip and I are guilty of doing such, also. We get distracted ... especially me ... I'm trying to do several things at once always. I think it's wanting to do several things at once.

Multitasking is my middle name.

@TheHorse That's how I do everything ... a lot of things at the same time until all gets done.

So far, no senior moments today. The advantage of still laying around in bed. I do have my share.

Did you make it out of bed? I actually worked on a book chapter and practiced some guitar. It's really nice out, so I may cycle.

@paigea I don't think I cycled today, but I did get some errands done.

@TheHorse I made it out of bed. I vacuumed and washed floors. I could go for my first cycle but it is windy and I am a wimp!

The internet went out so I started reading my book and have been the rest of the day.

@TheHorse Book -- that thing that translates printed words into pictures in your head.

Book? what is that? Wait! I have one waiting on my bed! I should read for a bit and then get back to my guitar.

I think I got everything done I needed to without killing myself.

@wolfgirl569 But did I tell you about the hard boiled egg incident. Just kidding? I survived that too.

It's so easy to get distracted. I'm always having to backtrack to get whatever it was I wanted in the first place.

So far, since I awoke from my surprise afternoon nap, I have not done anything stupid. But wait. What's that smell? Gotta go.

@andriaperry How much "shelter in place" can a human stand before they finally lose it? I feel like a subject in an experiment.

It is normal to review and prioritize your needs. It could be that turning on the water was not an immediate need. Generally speaking, you are enjoying your life.

Sometimes there is only enough room for one or two thoughts at a time! :-)

I hope my thoughts don't cease entirely. I did get the dishwasher running without incident. I think.

Heh heh. Black people with dark hair are not exempt from "blonde moments." And they've been happening to me since I was...maybe 15. Carry on but don't burn up your pots and pans like I sometimes do (I'll call that a salt and pepper moment).
