Fridge distractions
I am standing in the middle of my kitchen, holding the toaster in one hand, and the fridge door open wide with the other. I am indecisive, this is not like me, so I move forward. And try to find the space to put the toaster into the fridge.
Mission almost accomplished, except the water jug, and the milk are in the wrong space, maybe if I just move those leftovers to the right hand side......whack!
That is the sound of my brain going violently into reverse, "what do you think you are doing?"
"The toaster belongs in the cupboard, the leftovers are for dinner, and shut the fridge door, you are wasting electricity."
Somewhere along the line, the sugar got put into the recycling box, the toilet paper was put into the living room, and the mail, well we can't find it right now. We all have these distracted moments, where we misplace things, life gets a little hectic sometimes.
And I am sure they have a name for it....... if I could just remember where I put that medical journal article, on forgetfulness.

With the goal of not incriminating myself, I will just give a hearty "Amen!"
ReplyDeleteOh, I am glad I'm not the only one! We have a frig in the laundry room and I am constantly opening the frig (instead of the laundry cabinet) to put in clothes!!! The photos in today's post are so sweet! Wishing you a nice day Jen.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat as you....who wants chilled lysol spray and warm gatorade?
ReplyDeleteI was going to say something witty but I can't remember what it was. I have to go and find my shoes now.
ReplyDeleteOops - that's stress-related forgetfulness! I had a serious bout yesterday leaving my rucksack with all my cards and money in it on the train! (Got it back intact... God bless the honest Swedes!)
ReplyDeleteYou are cute! I do this all the time, walk into the bedroom with my finished cereal bowl and wonder " where the heck am I going with this bowl?" It is a funny thing, the human brain. Take care...
ReplyDeleteMaybe we all need to be on Gingko Biloba, those of us who forget where things go.

LOL, been there, done that! :) Your photos are just lovely -- that china pattern is so pretty.
ReplyDelete(That comment was from me...I was signed into my Google acct. :-/ )
ReplyDeleteOnce...the chocolate ice cream went into the cupboard and bananas went into the freezer. And at that time...I was younger, I had no excuse for the mess-up. HAHA!
ReplyDeleteBrain Fog is a word used for this and patients with Lyme Disease can suffer very badly with it. Not that I am suggesting you have lyme just that is the name given.
ReplyDeleteJen, It sooo happens in my house, but I am not saying to whom! Lovely photos....I hope those are on a card! gail
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have those days too. Trying to put the milk in th cupboard and the cereal in the fridge. Wandering all around the house looking for my hairbrush, the one that is in my hand.
ReplyDeleteWell! one good thing you are not alone.LOL

Hey, are those double click rose bonbon cosmos? I grew some this year and have a few pictures to post eventually. Fun flowers, though the plants were gigantic in my garden.
ReplyDeletecan we just say peri~menopause!
ReplyDeleteLOL! ;-) I did the same thing to the coffee pot one time. When I came to my senses I thought " well you big dummy".
ReplyDeleteI think we all have those times. What is bad to put something someplace - the WRONG place and then you just cannot find it. OOOOHHH. Funny post. Have a great day and don't lose it.
ReplyDeleteWe call them "brain farts" or "senior moments" (even though I'm only in my early 40s I'm already getting them). LOL Funny post! -Jackie
ReplyDeleteI can't remember who recommended your blog but I sure can see why. I love what I saw. I'm a writer...mainly humor and some nostalgia and will take awhile to get through your heart-felt offerings.
ReplyDeleteI have nearly stopped blogging several times but some one or some thing draws me back. For now I'm striving to contribute something worthwhile.
You have a great talent

Rest assured that you are not alone. Sometimes I put stuff away so well I don't find it for years:)
ReplyDeleteWe all have our "days" or is that daze. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice photos!!
Know the feeling. I was dividing meat into smaller packets of foil and was patting it stacked nicely in the cabinet and had put the foil away in the fridge! Then it finally dawned on me what I was doing.
ReplyDeleteSuch soft pretty photos. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think we can all relate!
ReplyDeleteLove these two photos and I can see why so many people are nodding their heads in agreement -- I too can relate.
ReplyDeleteYou have me sitting here chuckling at my computer. That is SO funny!
