What a day!

I have come to the conclusion that I am just too forgetful!

I got up yesterday at 5:30. I didn't have to work. I didn't have anything pressing. I just couldn't sleep. Even so, I never made my 8:45 appointment. How does that happen? Let me tell you -  you just have to be ME!

I learned YEARS ago that time, for me, is irrelevant. It just goes its own direction and I have no control over it and it is definitely NOT on a stable flow. One minute can seem to last hours and then an hour was over an hour ago and it doesn't seem possible. This confuses me, so I just chose to ignore time. I still have moments when I think, "Where did I lose THAT ten minutes?"

So, I guess, knowing that, it shouldn't be a surprise when I forget to do normal things regularly. Things like taking the prescriptions that keep me alive every day instead of just whenever. Things like eating, sleeping, finding the bathroom. Yes, I can forget every one of those things for hours!

Yesterday was a very forgetful day for me. I forgot to watch the clock. I forgot the things I was supposed to be doing. I forgot which direction was up. I forgot how important it is to get some sleep. Real sleep.

When Thomas asked me what was for dinner was when I remembered I was supposed to eat. Then I got in the car and started driving and almost forgot again! We ate in Centerville because I can't pass up the In-N-Out Burger if it's open. It's very rarely open when I pass through there, however, so no worries that I will single-handedly keep In-N-Out in business!

I forgot my water bottle. I never forget my water bottle, but I had left it in the car I usually drive and forgot to grab it when I got back to the car. I was miserable, but I made it. It meant I went a whole day with no green water, however. Not a good thing for me.

I forgot that I really needed to find the little girl's room when I got to Salt Lake. I was so intent on getting through traffic that I just forgot. I remembered when I was on my way home. I even stopped - in Ogden.

And then there was sleep. I looked at the clock, after it had passed the midnight hour, and I realized I had been up since - yes, you remember - 5:30 on Saturday morning. I remember when it first hit me and then it became a game. How many hours has Leah forgotten to sleep this time?!?!?!?! Just for the record, I did not make it to 30 or past 30, I only made it to about 21.

I do have to work today. I think I'll hurry and take a nap now!
