I can’t blame this on quarantine, but I’ve been highly irritable and absent minded. Perhaps it’s the absentmindedness that has made me highly irritable. You tell for yourself.
On Sunday I couldn’t find my wallet. Very unlikely as it never leaves my back pants pocket until it hits my bureau. But today, it was not on my bureau. I couldn’t find it anywhere. A thought glimpsed my brain as the laundry was being done that I had washed it in my jeans that I never wash. I open the washer and what do you know? A soaking wet wallet. Amazingly the credit cards, license, and money handle the water well.
The same Sunday night my floss container had de-threaded. I spent about five minutes using a system of holding the main spool on this microscopic stake and trying to pull the thread around these tiny hooks. This job was meant for a 3 year old in a sweat shop. After 5 minutes I got so frustrated that I took floss container and slammed it on the ground. Then I took the broken floss container and tried winging it into the trash can, missed completely, it ricochets off the wall at high speed and sends itself right down the steps. I’ve been using a Swiss army knife to cut from the spool since.
When Sam told me he stopped painting the castings after 7, because they all fell over, I was laughing internally. When I was painting them today, I had 3 up and then out of nowhere the one on the far right fell knocking over the other two. I quietly picked up the fallen soldiers and as I put the 3rd one back up, it fell over knocking the other two over again. I saw complete red, 180’d, and chucked the pair of pliers that is used to dip the casting as hard as I could and it clanged off a light fixture. This was made worse because I the pliers mysteriously disappeared among the clutter making me feel even dumber.
Today as I was leaving work I noticed I had my spare car key on my desk that I brought for the mechanic who performed the PA inspection. Didn’t think twice about it but I knew I should bring it home. I drove home and when I got home I had the spare. Great except one problem, I didn’t have the car key that had my house key. I left that one on my desk. Fortunately I don’t commute an hour or my head may have exploded.
I’m usually a calm person but lately I’m losing it. I’m hoping this goes away or I’m suffering from early dementia with a combination of stir crazy.
