Thank you for your supportive thoughts and kind words, I found my key fob. It was in the trunk of my car. I mean, what are the odds?
Give me a break, my brain is scrambled. There haven’t been many times in my life where I have thought to myself, “I took on too much.” I’m a very effective multi-tasker, super-efficient, and it takes a lot to overwhelm me. Now, I’m not going to sit here and say I’m overwhelmed, as I have my fall of 2021 pretty under control. But there were a few times in the past few months where I sat back and thought,
“What the hell was I thinking? There’s not enough time in the damn day.”
But as we meander closer to Thanksgiving, things are beginning to slow down a little. So today, let me treat you to a list of dumb things I’ve done recently as a result of an over-crowded brain. I’ve been keeping a list just so I could have a good blog post.
Found my lost car key fob in my car. I retraced my steps from the first day I remembered having it, and boom-shaka-laka.
Wore my faculty ID into church. Putting on my ID is mechanical, and I didn’t even realize it until I was walking back from communion. I’m sure God was impressed.
Poured sugar on my eggs and salt in my coffee. Luckily I realized it before I ate or drank.
Texted myself and then got excited when the text came through, wondering who was texting me. I voice text myself writing ideas all the time, especially when I’m driving. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so you have to get them down.
Sent an email to the wrong supervisor about the wrong student on the wrong campus. Duh. Luckily, I have great supervisors with great senses of humor.
Forgot I didn’t have ear buds in, but rather headphones attached to my computer, and tried to walk away from the table. You can imagine how well that went. My laptop has gone through a lot, as has my head.
Wore two different black sneakers to the gym. They’re really similar. No one noticed. I don’t think.
Sprayed myself with the wrong perfume. The bottles are identical, and the cleaners moved stuff around, so I thought I was grabbing my go-to scent. The one I sprayed was a gift I didn’t like, called Bronze Wood and Leather. It is an intense scent, and I smelled like a humidor all day. Not as nice as it sounds.
Had the wrong screen displayed for a Zoom class. Nothing inappropriate, but students began raising their hands because they didn’t recognize one thing on the itinerary. Wonder why.
Discussed a student’s grade with her until she finally informed me that I was looking at the wrong Kristen’s grade line. In my defense, she let me go and on. Stop me if I’m being an idiot, please.
Like now. See you tomorrow.
