Forgetfulness.

As of lately, I have been feeling scattered. Just the "What was I originally supposed to be doing?" sort of feeling. And this has been happening more and more over the years. I don't remember being this forgetful back in high school, but maybe I was and just FORGOT.

Jon will ask me to get something for him, I'll think of something I have to do, even responding to a text message is proving to be very difficult for me to remember to do these days. Then I start to worry that my new found trait of forgetfulness may be hurting or offending someone and then I start to panic. Does so and so hate me because I'm now finally responding to their text THREE day later?! Does so and so think that I'm ignoring them because I'm not doing something they asked me to do?! What did I say I was going to do when I got home from work?! Why am I on this random site when I was planning on checking my email?!?!?!?

If you have been victim to my forgetfulness, I truly apologize and it really is nothing against you. It's just that my poor brain can't handle too many tasks at once these days, and I really need to find a way to get my brain more organized. 

Do any of you have any suggestions on how to be a better organized and less forgetful human being? Please share.

There's something about this time of year that makes me want to be outside more. Maybe it's the leaves starting to change colors, the cooler temperatures, or that distinct smell of fall in the air (you all know what I'm talking about). All of these beautiful aspects of fall make me yearn for being in Michigan. People keep telling me that I'm crazy because the same things are happening right across the lake in Illinois... but it's not the same, I swear! 

Once the leaves start falling and the trees are bare, maybe my feelings will change. The weather will become more gloomy and it will start to get darker earlier and then seasonal affective disorder will start to kick in. I can wait as long as possible for all of that to begin.

But for now, I will try to embrace what I have here but in just a few days I will be back in Michigan to celebrate a friend's wedding and to soak in the wonderful Michigan fall weather.
