Seven Days Without Coffee: Dazed and Confused

Day Three.  And my brain is just not functioning like it should. (stop snickering!  This is potentially serious stuff here!)

Today the man of the house sent me an email and mentioned that when we went to the store he wanted to get a "bball net".  I'm wondering what sort of baseball net he could mean. (to my credit he is playing fall softball right now)  It took about 5 emails back and forth before he clarified a "basketball net" before I realized he meant a net for the basketball goal!  Yes, I felt silly.

I tried to do the very simple task of making some hair bows for Queen B's Busy Work today.  I couldn't even seem to focus and manage that this afternoon. 

Last night, the female offspring and I were about half way to church for The Gathering before we realized I had left the tickets on the front of the fridge.   After coming back home to get them, we got all the way to church before realizing I had also left the bag of items to donate to the women's homeless shelter!

If you only knew how many times I have had to hit the backspace button in the course of writing this! (twice in that last sentence alone!)  I'm not a great speller on the best of days, but today my fingers do not want to obey and are just typing letters at random. 

And I think I forgot to eat breakfast this morning.

I was going to say something else, but it's slipped my mind...

The Wrap-up

Write That Down

I know I've mentioned this before.  More than a few times.  But I'll say it again.  I'm a list maker.  I love my lists.  They keep me organized.  I make To-Do lists, lists of books I want to read - and those I've already read (thank you Goodreads!) , I keep lists of what I need to get at the store, what I am making for dinner each week (thank you cozi.com!)  I even suppose my calendars could be considered a list of all the dates and happenings I don't want to forget about.  (and now it looks like I have a sort of list of all the lists I have!)

My problem is the things that don't make it on to a list.  If it's not written down, I tend to forget it.  (I'm pretty sure that's a very bad sign of something - but I don't want to think about that too hard Or I might start a list of all the things I imagine are wrong with me.)  This happens a lot when I think of something to blog about, or when I hear about a book I want to add to the TBR list, or when I hear a song I'd like to add to my iPod.  Of course I never have my actual list with me when this happens.  And by the time I have access to my list I have forgotten what I wanted to add to it!

I think what I might need is to start carrying around a teeny tiny little notepad and pen around on my person at all times.  Maybe on a ribbon around my neck!  That way when something comes up which I want to remember I can just make a note of it right then and there.   Then I can keep a list of all the things I want to add to other lists. 

Maybe this list thing is getting out of control.
