I was about to respond to this thread, but then I noticed that I'd left my cell phone in a spot where I'd probably forget it later, so I decided to move that, when I realized I needed to use the bathroom first.

Headed that way and found a teeshirt lying on the floor that belonged in the hamper, so I figured a short detour wouldn't hurt anything, and I discovered that a library book I've been looking for about a week (because it was overdue) was lying sort of half-under the bed, so I took it out and figured I'd better put it somewhere I'd remember it, which meant laying it in the middle of the hallway towards the stairs where I couldn't miss it, when the cell phone went off, causing me to scurry back into the office but it was too late, I missed the call.

That made me remember I hadn't rescheduled the dental appointment I have next week that I can't make, so I figured I'd better do that, but before I could retrieve the dentist's phone number I accidently clicked on my email application, and there was an urgent email from a client which I figured I'd better respond to, but then I didn't want to be a slave to my email program so I simply flagged the email and realized that I needed some coffee.

After wandering into the kitchen to make coffee and getting irritated with the sinkful of dirty dishes, I began putting them in the dishwasher when the doorbell rang and it turned out to be someone trying to talk politics so I said "No, thanks," and wandered back into the office, with no coffee, and decided I needed to relax by firing up the 50+ forum and reading the latest posts which is when I realized I hadn't replied to this one.

Phew!
