Hey Peeps! Hope all
is well and you aren’t freezing your tookus off! I know I keep saying that I’ll do better
with blogging, but let’s be honest…. I’m lazy. And I’ve been busy working on a
ton of projects. But mostly I’m
lazy. And forgetful. I may have an acute case of amnesia for “to
do” lists. Seriously. Sometimes when I’m sitting down watching
Netflix, I think… there is something I should be doing, I just know it. Then I think, well, if it were so important
you’d remember it…. and I go back to helping Sherlock solve London’s problems,
one OCD issue at a time.
But because I’m a “fixer” and stuff I’ve decided to quit
being so lazy. To help me remember to do
stuff, I started sending myself text message reminders. Unfortunately the majority of my amazing ideas
occur at very inopportune times. Such as
bathroom time. No need to get detailed,
you get the idea.
Driving. I have
amazing ideas when driving, but texting and driving is so last year. And the ancient art of finding a piece of
crumpled receipt/napkin in the back seat and a working pen from the front
passenger door and scribbling notes while driving with your knee is more
dangerous than texting. And the results
are so hideous that even hand writing analysis experts would deem them serial
killerish.
But the best ideas I get are, are by far, right before I
fall asleep. Here is where the tricky
part comes in. If I get up to write something down, I’ve ruined that extremely
brief moment where sleep is either right there or hours away. And if I don’t
write it down then two things happen. My
mind races about all the things that have absolutely nothing to do with the
original idea or I forget it within a few minutes. But, if I gently reach my phone, type a text…..
problem solved. By the way, I don’t text
and drive much ever, but I do use the voice recognition thing. So sometimes when I say “New pic” it comes
out “Newton’s pig”. Then I have to
decide why Newton had a pig and why I care enough to text it and it is all very
headachy.
Anyway, so these text messages are mostly a great idea. Until the next day. I give you this fine example. The conversation balloons are what’s going on
in my head. Consider this your one and
only warning. You can’t unsee this stuff man!
