Chopsticks, tampons, and tea.

I just came across this post and title from October of '08. It was a draft with nothing in it. Simply the title. It started me to wondering. What in the hell was I going to write about with that title? I really would like to remember, but it escapes me. A lot things seem to escape me these days.

For example earlier tonight the Mrs. and were discussing the upcoming acquisition of a new iPhone. There is this application she found for it that she wants. It sounded cool to me. I had questions about it. I asked. She frowned. We had had this conversation before. I had the same questions before. I remembered after being reminded. Good lord. I really need to work on this. Apologies to the Wife.

It is all rather frustrating. It's not the only thing going on in my brain. Just the foremost this evening. There seems to be myriad of things. Not sure exactly where to start. Here is good I guess.

There are some great things going on too. For instance the laughter of my wife as she listens to a book while working. I love her laugh. It makes me happy. :)

...the hell?

Hi. Lots of jumbled thoughts in my brain pan recently. The word jumbled really does not convey the mess going on upstairs.

I was having a conversation with Mrs. J and was explaining some frustration I have been having recently with forming coherent thoughts longer than a sentence. I seem to be lacking the ability to focus. The thoughts just seem to fade and disappear or I end up off on some completely unrelated tangent. Every little thing around me causes a distraction or interruption in my thought processes. It is rather frustrating and is causing some problems. Can you imagine trying to have serious conversation with me about an important topic when I am that way?

When I look for causes all I come up with is laziness, and that is about as far as I get before distraction. Oh look! Tree bark!

Mrs. J has another theory. Lack of mental or intellectual stimulation. I managed to think about that long enough to agree with her. I do not do a whole lot these days to challenge or even moderately strain my brain. It is easy to avoid. Doing nothing pretty much takes care of it. Laziness again. Dammit.

In an effort to counter this lack of focus and intellectual stimulation I was thinking (yay!) of what I could do. One of the things I came up with is this. I am going to blog more. It certainly can not hurt. Well, not much anyway. Writing this has given me a bit of a headache. That could be the heat though. Hmmph.

Look for more in the near future.

Be well.

... I was given one thing to do today on my day off, and I almost failed.

This morning I asked Jade what if anything she would like me to do around the house today. All she aked for was a blog post. So, here it is.

I did laundry. I played WoW. I cleaned the cat box. I ate. I napped. I played with the cats. I -almost- did not blog.

*whew* That was close. I hope this counts my love. :)
