Reminds me of “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie”...and of my average day!

I refer to these events as "soap bubbles popping".

I have a stylus on my phone and try to write things down as I think of them. More than a few times the soap bubble pops between me taking the stylus out and opening up my To Do list ... the thought is just gone ... and it's not coming back.

Active people with this problem refuse to let it get the best of them. Like the Energizer Bunny we just keep going and going, never knowing where the day will lead us and whether any of our major goals for today will be completed.

But at least we are using what’s left of our brain and body, rather than sitting around waiting for the axe to fall and feeling sorry for ourselves.

I am getting old but I still manage to get a few things done, I’m just slower and it takes me longer. And I have to use my brain to find new ways to overcome my limitations.

Anyway, I think I forgot to turn off the outside water facet last time I used it. Excuse me while I go check...

My ex-wife keeps a notebook by the telephone.
She writes down the conversation so she won’t
forget, plus she uses her notes in future
conversations. I finally quit calling.

If you can’t find your keys, you don’t necessarily have a problem. But if you find your keys but don’t know what they’re for, you probably do have a problem.

That’s me. I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
