Happens to me all the time.....LOL!
I think you posted this back around Christmas, but I don’t remember for sure.
Sounds like just another day . . . .
Naps always seem to get accomplished..
“Forward this message to everyone you know,”
If you ever see this in a message....don’t.
Realize I need a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust a cabinet hinge.
Walk down to basement to get tool.
Arrive in basement knowing I came down here for something. What the hell was it?
It’s excruciating to read, but then it gets funny!
Have a good day!
What?
And here I thought it was just me.
Love ya Sod!!
The Prioritized To Do list has pay bills at number one. Bills get paid.
A quick run is next, that sets the day.
Missing keys are on locater fods.
Plants are on automatic watering.
Junk mail is taken care by the P.O. box company.
All that remains are Projects. Projects, never completed, keep a person healthy and happy.
There must be Online-Activated ADHD, too:
5:00 a.m. Login to computer to pay your bills online.
Your homepage has a news story about a local crime. Click link to read about the crime.
At the end of that article, a link to “Best Vacation Spots for 2019” attracts your eye.
Click that link to look at slideshow (even though you can’t afford a vacation.)
The end of the slideshow throws you into “Top 10 Easiest Recipes.” Click through all those recipes that you’ll never make.
Realize you’re wasting time, and close that screen which returns you to homepage. Now there’s an article on politics. Click to read article. Get angry and visit FR to blow some steam.
Notice an article on FR about 1970’s slang. Read all 200 comments. Remember that you logged on to pay bills. Open new screen, which brings up your homepage again.
The Facebook icon grabs your attention. You click on it, and 1 notification is waiting. It turns out, a friend shared a photo of her cat. You scroll through the rest of your news feed.
8:00 a.m. You still haven’t paid the bills. :-(
“Diet Coke”
Read up on the effects of the neurotoxin Aspartame that is in it and you may get a clue to what the problem is.

I signed onto FR to see if the big news story was posted yet, when I found your post. Good times! now what in the world was that big news story I was looking for?
You’re OK until the car keys your looking for are finally found - in the refrigerator. LOL
I learned more than a decade ago, to try to stop this.
Make a mental note to self instead of ever doing anything on “automatic”.
When “setting the keys down here”, say to yourself in your mind “I am setting the keys down here”. In other words don’t just do something, say to yourself you are doing it as you do it. First, you do remember all the little things much better and second your ability to focus improves.
When we are young memories are catalogued and indexed on automatic very well, and we are also better able to put distractions aside so that some goal can get done.
When we really start to age, both those skills have weakened.
But, if we add deliberate intention into memory retention - a process that employs a simple thought to conciously focus on what we are doing and make note of it, gradually memory and focus can improve. Think of it like exercise for an aspect of the brain that has gotten lazy.
Reminds me of “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie”...and of my average day!
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...
Sounds like my normal day.
That’s me. I’m so glad I’m not the only one.
