Lost confused and looking for Inspiration - Stage 2

"Ohh he/she has got a memory like a goldfish!"

Meaning that goldfish have really tiny memories, but Porl sent me a document, which I've forgotten to forward to myself at work to use with this blog, that proves Goldfish are in fact quite intelligent fish...

That said, I'm still using my analogy when referring to pregnancy - I have at this moment in time got the memory capacity of a pregnant goldfish!!!

I'm not just forgetting things I've thought about doing, I'm forgetting things whilst I'm doing them.

Last week whilst putting my shoes on to go to work "mobile phone charger" popped into my head. In battling with my laces on my shoes I had suddenly remembered that I needed to charge up my phone - great recall I hear you shout.

I popped into the little bedroom, spent 5 mins searching in the drawer that I always put the chargers in, to eventually find it right in front of me plugged into the wall. Feeling I had been successful on this mobile phone charger hunting session I picked up my bag with a sense of achievement, put my charger in my bag, I wasn't going to leave it behind *smug smile* and left the trailer.

I think I only got about four paces when the morning dew soaked through my left sock and I looked down to see that I had forgotten to put on my other shoe.

I also forget words - simple words like Shop, T.V and remote control. Things have become thingy, watsit and I have adopted a weird waving hand motion meant to enable K, or whom ever I'm talking to, to understand "that thing, there, on the table is what Im talking about for Gods sake".

I've also started doing strange word associations because my brain isn't coping with the usual influx of information. I was in a meeting with Jen, a lovely associate of mine, and we were discussing courses she was running in her centre, "Fly Dressing" came up and my brain did an upside down spin and I began to smile inanely at her.

"What" she queried as I the giggle started somewhere in my solar plexes. (now I'm rereading this, that word doesn't sound right either)

"Fly dressing" I snorted "You mean they get little flys and dress them up?". Five minutes later after we had wiped the snot and tears from our faces and gaffawfed our way through the associated "outfits and seasonal wings" we looked at one another in sheer pleasure "God", said Jen "I am going to have so much fun with you over the next six months"

But worst or should I say best is my growing ability to make up words cause I'm unable to think what the right word is.... "gaffawfed" above being a prime example and my blatant use of "herbology building" in another conversation with Jen when I was referring to ...when I meant ... bugger... erm...Herbal shop, a place where you can buy stuff that is erm good for you, you know, Vitamins and seaweed and other stuff that you buy and leave in your cupboard.

Pregnancy - the best watsit (thing) in this Big space, ball (World) we are living in to make us realise that we are not so thingy (different) from the thingies that swim in the sea (fish)!

N.B. to self: Do goldfish swim in the sea?
