Losing My Mind, Among Other Things

There are some days where I couldn't find my own ass and I'd lose my head if it wasn't bolted on. And yesterday, my brain was definitely out to lunch.

It was car payment day, so I went to where I keep my "to be paid" bills. I found the envelope and went to sit on the couch to write the bill out, after getting my check book. But when I opened the envelope, I found I'd chosen the wrong one; it was just the stub from last month's payment.

So, I got up and looked again and it wasn't where it should be. I had to tear the house apart looking for it, and I finally came up with it, but it was missing the payment envelope. I went to the computer this time and filled out the check, then found a plain, white envelope to substitute for the usual one.

After addressing the envelope, I remembered that I didn't have a stamp right there, so I got up to get one from the drawer. That done, I returned to the computer, where the check was still there waiting, but the envelope had vanished into thin air. I looked all around the computer desk and on the floor for it, but it was just gone.

Now pissed off, I filled out another envelope, but neglected to put the PO Box on it, so I ended up having to do it a third time. I quickly put the check inside, then stamped it before it could magically vanish yet again. Then I placed it under my car keys, so I'd have it as I went out the door to mail it.

Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind and that on some days, I'd be better off just staying in bed.
