i’m nodding at your post brentitude. your morning list and mine are incredibly similar.

Make crappy throw together breakfast from jam on a spoon and leftover springrolls
Curse empty juice jug
Make juice from frozen juice thingy and water
Drag breakfast and juice upstairs
Eat breakfast infront of computer while examining bad skin and checking email (fatal mistakes, no impulse control)
Search for meds
Take meds
Shower
Brush teeth
Wonder if i took meds or not
Check packets, count pills, assume meds taken
Play with cat and wet hair-towel for way too long (throw towel on cat, tickle smothered cat into submission, retreive wet cat from towel, encourage other cat to pounce on first cat, repeat)
Dry hair
Straighten hair
Retreive overexcited cats from bathtub
Curse bad skin
Tweeze exessively
Regret excessive tweezing

Doublecheck email
Reply to unimportant emails
Seek out socks

Yell and wail
Consider borrowing boyfriends socks
Look for febreeze
Wear yesterdays socks sprayed wet with febreeze
Rumage through closet and laundry hamper for clothes
Throw on clothes
Look in the mirror
Curse dishevelled state
Seek out watch
Look at the time
Panic
Potty again (because I also cannot leave the house unless I do it just before I go)
Run downstairs
Run back upstairs for forgotten bag
Check email again (argh!)
Top up cat food
Apply cat treats to cats mouths
Grab a drink quickly from the fridge
Pace around attempting to finish drink
Put half mug of drink in fridge
decide that drink needs saran wrap, search for saran wrap, fail to find saran wrap, apply waxed paper and upsidedown saucer to drink instead
Grab chocolate from fridge
Check bag
Run back upstairs for forgotten item
Come back with wrong item
Run back upstairs
Stand in room trying to remember why i’m there
Go to the bathroom while i’m there incase that was the reason i’m there
Give up, run back downstairs, narrowly avoiding death by underfoot cat
Go outside
Realize that i am not wearing shoes
Go back inside and get shoes
Go back outside
Remember that i don’t have keys in my bag
Go and ask neighbour to let me in with the spare so i can get my keys
Go back inside and get keys
Go back outside
Realize that I forgot to check the knobs on the stove to make sure they are off and that i’ve left the hair straightening iron plugged in
See something else that really doesn’t need to be taken care of right away but fight desperate urge to do it anyway while i’m there
Go potty again
Grab coat, apply to head as don’t have umbrella
Realise i don’t have $3 for the bus either
Ring on neighbours doorbell again and apologetically accept the $3 she’s holding out to me before i even ask for it
Run for bus, checking watch every 20 seconds in desperate hope that time will slow down or even stop
Miss bus entirely
Mill around on pavement at bus stop cursing bus companies, wondering if i missed the bus and talking to stray cat for 45 minutes
See next bus driving away behind me from between legs while bent over tickling stray cats belly
Curse bus companies loudly
Consider going home and asking neighbours husband for a ride
Decide that i’m too lazy for that, mill around a bit longer, talking to cat about the importance of not distracting me next time a bus comes please
Cat gets bored of conversation and leaves
Talk to strangers and make them feel obviously uncomfortable but feel unable to shut up anyway
Talk to ladybugs
Catch third bus
Get to mall and can’t remember why i’ve gone there, stand around staring blankly for some time, contemplating futility of continued existance.
Retreive ‘whatever you’ve got that i’m allowed’ ADD drugs from pharmacist.
Hope those were the drugs i ran out of.
i actually don’t make promises or give my word to people, because i won’t be pushed into becoming a liar, and i really do not know the future. i most certainly will agree or volunteer to do my best, and i will have a sincere intent, i will say that as things stand right now i can’t see a situation not turning out in any way other than the one we hope for, but there is no way in hell you’ll get an ‘i promise to/that…’ out of me. aint gonna happen. it’s not a cop out, it’s being realistic. my mother would never promise things to me (gifts, trips, rewards, etc) when i was a child for the same reason. cos stuff happens.
