I have these moments – okay, really days, when I find that my brain is not residing within my body.

For instance, today I left the house without a coat recalling I saw 70’s somewhere in the 7-day forecast. Since it was almost summer-like outside when I let Princess Wrigley Marie Marshmallow out for her morning bladder call. When I got in the car, I heard the temperature would be dropping and there was a possibility of showers. I looked down at my cardigan and blouse and said, “Oops!” Thank goodness for seat warmers, right?”

I would recount (or regale you with) other such brainless incidents, but alas, they occurred more than 24 hours ago, and therefore archived somewhere so safe, I’ll never find them. Yes, I realize this is a run on sentence, but I claim a lack of thought processes at the moment.

Another thing I seem to keep challenging my brain with is organizing multiple events at once. Easter dinner, the Rotary Gala and poetry workshops or open mics.  Thankfully, I just walked past the refrigerator last night and realized I needed to reserve a hotel room for a wedding this summer. Add that to my many ‘to-do’ lists. Currently there is a work to-do, a home to-do, a personal goals to-do and a writing goals to-do.

Let’s recap –

Signs of a brain on vacation are:  1) forgetfulness, 2) overloading said brain and 3) resorting to lists as reminders.

Before I forget – have a wonderful Easter or Passover!
