how often is it, that we, or should I say "I", forget something that we just did because we did it so quickly and out of habit?

when you are in the shower, do you forget if you have shampooed your hair?
when you park your car, do you forget whether you locked the doors or not?
when you leave the house, do you forget if you locked the door?

I just dropped off my tax returns at the post office. I even went to the desk to have them weigh the parcels (as the forms one must complete to participate in this intrusive taxing can add some bulk to an envelope) because the normal $0.37 would have been inadequate postage, but $0.74 would have been too much...

then I pay and I leave.

But I forget whether or not I took the items to be mailed with me.

It does not make sense that they would put the postage on the envelopes and then give them back to me, as the whole excerise would have ended with me leaving my packages with the post office in one form or another. But I do not remember the time between handing them my money and exiting the post office.

I did not, of course, realize this until I was standing in line at a Little Ceasar's getting my $5.55 Hot'n'ready pizza (yes - $5.55... I am in Midland right now, and everything here is messed up. Not to mention the nearest Best Buy is practically 40 minutes away)

So it has been bothering me all afternoon - all two and a half hours of it. It bothered me whilst I ate 3 of the 10 slices of pizza. It bothered me on the way back to the office and it still bothers me. The envelopes are neither in my car nor in my coat. I do not believe that I dropped them, and they would logically have to be in process, or the post office would be retarded as well.

So I am needlessly fretting. I feel so...

uncomfortable... but that could be this stupid chair in which I am sitting.

Oh well, I will have to settle for being less than bright today...

in every way...
