Silliness

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Proverbs 17:22

I remember the humor of the little tricks my mind would play before they became so debilitating. I could laugh so hard at the silly things I'd do from being 'absent minded' or not being able to remember a common word I use all the time...like egg,. I could think of the concept, but couldn't think of the word, so I'd have to describe it...sort of like playing charades. I didn't think much of it until it became more and more frequent to the point that it was difficult to carry on a conversation. Anyhow, now that the worst of my mental nightmare is over, I can find humor in the silly brain farts again. This is an ongoing list of silliness. I'll be adding to it as things occur:

1. I returned my grocery store buggy to the collection site with my groceries still in the cart...lol. Heather was with me. She said, "Mommy, don't you think we should unload the groceries first?" LOL. I wonder how long it would have taken me to figure it out had Heather not been there.

2. I was so excited to learn that I'm not allergic to eggs, I boiled a dozen to have on hand as a quick snack. Problem is, I didn't think to mark which ones were boiled and which were fresh. It's been interesting figuring it out one by one as we use them...lol.

3. I cooked dinner last night...THREE times! LOL. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again...lol. We ate at 8:30pm.

4. My words were getting twisted in my head today. I kept saying canine instead of cayenne...and others that I can't remember right now. The kids thought it was hilarious I kept getting the same words twisted over and over again. It was kinda funny.

5. I got into the wrong car at the grocery store. I realized that some of the mess was missing, but didn't realize until the real owner started putting her groceries in the back that I was sitting in the WRONG car...lol.

6. I got into my head that it was later than it was. Yes, I saw the clocks...but thought they were wrong because my family was gone. They had gone to church to practice music, but I was thinking church had already started and I had been missing it. I tried to find it on the internet. Finally my friend told me that I'd need to wait another two hours before I could get church to come in online. At that point I was able to connect the dots (the clocks, the fact that my son and friend were still at the house and hadn't left yet for church, being told my husband and daughters were going to practice music as they do every week).
