Yesterday you'd think my brain was made primarily of marshmallows. I was running psychology research and kept forgetting to keep the secret evidence box out of the presence of new participants. It is a long story, but I was supposed to show participants the materials at a very specific time during the research experiment and then take it back to the storage room until next time, but I couldn't get it right! I'd leave it in the room when the next person came in, or take it out and drop it all on the floor in front of new participants. I couldn't get the video to run properly because I kept reading the menu wrong. I'd carry off the informed consent forms and set them down somewhere and have to go looking for them again. I couldn't think of my vocabulary when corresponding with profs, either. I'd think, what's that word, aw heck, what is a diff word? and sit there and ponder how I was supposed to say something when I couldn't come up with the words. . .When I came home to make dinner, it was just as bad. Even as I was thinking I would pour the hot pasta water over the frozen vegies for a bit of added flavor and jump start their cooking, I poured it into an empty pan and thought, oh, where are the vegies? After dinner I finally gave up and watched tv.
