I'm unusually scatterbrained lately. Part of it, I think, is a subconscious attempt to block out crap from work (I'm nervous; normally May and early June are the calm before the summer storm, and this spring ain't been calm). Part of it might be the kitchen, but so far that really hasn't been stressful, just a little inconvenient. We do have sick rats, but that's hardly new...maybe my brain is just full.
My gas tank wasn't full. I've had my car for over five years; today, as I was driving home from the compounding pharmacy where I had to get Misto's exotic prescription filled, I noticed an amber light on the dash. I didn't even know I had a "you need fuel" idiot light.
Now I'd like to add an "eat breakfast" idiot light. The other day at work I couldn't figure out why I was so damn hungry. I finally gave in and decided to eat half an hour early (who said noon is a magic hour anyway?). I opened my little cooler, and there was breakfast, right on top.
Speaking of food, I forgot to submit my brunch to the Carnival of the Recipes. I don't think they missed me...lots of good stuff, including some vegetarian dishes I will try as soon as the kitchen is put back together.
Speaking of lacking transitions, I'm taking yoga now, which has nothing to do with my kitchen or cooking, or even being scatterbrained. (I don't think it's connected, anyway...maybe it's made me more at peace with the idea of being a dingbat.) Anyway, I've noticed that there's a new Star Wars movie coming out...even in my oblivious state, I heard the news about the devoted fans already camped out at the theater, I noticed that the M&Ms were a little funny looking (but not bad: I kinda hope they keep the dark chocolate thing going), and I love what they did to Mr. Potatohead. But I wasn't expecting to go to yoga class and learn the "Darth Vader breath."
