Losing it
I think I'm losing it. I've had a few moments in the past month where my mind was completely elsewhere and I started to verbalize my thoughts at wrong moments. Needless to say, it led to some embarrasing moments with patients who just looked at me with big eyes, wondering what the heck I was talking about. Wierd. This time, my lack of ability to function is blamed on the fact that I'm sick. I think I may have either developed allergies or I am just being blessed with a cold. Lucky me. On Friday, after I got to work, I decided to make me some tea so I plugged the kettle in....and left it boiling for 45 minutes. There was very little water left. I went home and slept all afternoon. They cancelled my shift at the jewlery store so I was happy to feel sorry for myself at home and went to bed early. I set my alarm for the ungodly hour of 8, thinking I was working the next morning. I never work that early on a Saturday. And..I was well aware that I had this weekend off. I had rented 3 movies so I had something to watch on Saturday. I got up at 8, showered...remembered...and went back to bed. I made breakfast and didn't turn the stove off. I went to get a squisy (diabetic friendly, I'm sure!) to go with my movies and not only did I not lock my door, I left the door open. Good thing I live in a locked apartment and all the other tenant were seeminginly gone. Phew. I missed Saturday night church becuase I thought it started a 1/2 hour later than it really did...even though I had been to this service many, many times. Later that night, I played a stimulating game of Rook with my biblestudy girls (these people love their Rook.) and left for home at 12:30. It is a 1/2 hour drive home and I was so off in my own little world that I missed my turn off Memorial. I was almost to Carmen's house, when I clued it. I suppose I could have stopped in for tea but at 1 am, she probably wouldn't have answered her buzzer. Smart girl. Then, this morning, I put my watch on upside down. You may be thinking that that isn't so strange...but I looked at it at least 4 times before clueing it. I kept thinking I was late.
I'm not normally this scattered....am I?

What in the world is wrong with you! No, you are not usually so scattered. Blame it on the cold, that you weren't able to get enough oxygen since your nose was so stuffed up. Maybe that'll be a good excuse!
Lets just do a quick check Crystal. Look down and make sure you are wearing clothes. There should be a shirt, pants, shoes. Underwear and socks aren't as essential but a great idea.
I think the cold is getting to you and you need a holiday. Oh wait, you just had one. Hmmm. I say take it easy this week. Or maybe it's old age creeping up on you. After all, your quarter century is nearly up!
oh crap...I knew I forgot something...who knew that pants were a requirement?!
Well at least you are at a desk.
Embrace your scatterdness Crystal.
Don't fight it.
And Remember:
"The different religions have necver overlooked the part played by the sense of guilt in civilization. What is more, they come forward with a claim...to save mankind from this sense of guilt, which they call sin."
- Sigmund Freud.
