Paper Clips For Thought
I'm wearing a green dress today. I don't like green, but I really like the dress. So today is green.
I'm having trouble thinking a straight thought today. My mind wanders, I forget what I'm doing, where I'm going, or the name of the person I was just talking to.
Last night I worried because I couldn't find my key for work and I needed it today. I found it in a coat pocket. Of course.
I woke up at 4 in the morning. That isn't new. I started worrying. Again, not new. I couldn't go back to sleep because I was starting to once again stress about the money that I don't have and really need. I started hearing every small noise that my cat was making in the living room. I got out of bed to open the window and allow some outside noise and cool wind into the quiet, stuffy room. And I tried to understand and sooth the panic that was trying to overtake me. I don't usually have trouble falling back to sleep; that was new. So, I'm tired. And worried.
Probably the source of my distraction.
I think I have work to do. I probably have things that I should be working on at this very instant. But at the moment, all I can do is stare blankly at my computer screen and wonder why it's just sitting there.
