Don't Mind Me

 Don’t Mind Me

Last ewwk for some reason my brain warped and went haywire. I don’t know why or how, but I have to say, I didn’t like it. I know that it was functioning well except for a pause in reality. Wednesday went off normally. I drove to the Chestnut Riddge Gistorical Society and put in the time for my voluneer work. My four hour shift went well and I played nicely with two of my coworkers. We did some paperwork and accomplished some filing duties before lunch.

Lunch was our usual potluck. Each person brings a surprise food and we share. It is rare that two people bring similar foods, but it has happened. Wednesday was an unusual day. All three of us brought sandwich spread and crackers. Two were seafood salads and one chicken salad were our choices. I also had some spare cookies that I brought, so we did have dessert.

Wednesday eveniing was prayer meeting and all went well there.

Thursday I had a meeting with a health insurance agent. My present supplement was due to go up $100.00 per month and that wasn’t something that I could financially handle. That went well and my agent was someone who knew my wife.

Now the warp in my mind begins. I was thinking of going shopping on Thursday, then changed my mind. For some odd reason my brain registered that I could do my shopping on Saturday when I went to the Historical Society to be a docent for my four hour tour. Instead Friday slipped away and my brain thought Saturdday was Friday and didn’t self correct. At 2:39 my brain came back into focus when I got a message on my cell about a men’s gathering that evening. Well, I missed opening the Historical Center. I felt bad that I missed my “tour of Duty,” but there was nothing more I could do.

Then came the rain storm with its powerful winds and the men’s get-together got cancelled. The storm damage caused electriccal blackouts and tree damage blocked some roads, however our church has a generator and the men’s prayer meeting could be held there. Great.

My brain went into another fog-zone. I was watching television and the time slipped away. I was clock watching, but my brain was malfunctioning and misread my analog clock and when I realized that it was too late to go tto the meeting.

I don’t know what happened to cause my brain to short circuit, but it was certainly discouraging.
