Threw Off My Groove!

By nature I have always been great at multitasking. I was gifted at a young age with the ability to think about several different things all at once, and have always been good at getting all of the little menial tasks that need to be done, finished before most people could begin to sort them all out. Today however I seem to be somewhat off. I have burnt dinner twice tonight. The first dinner should have been simple, but while I was on the phone with my brother, I completely forgot that it was on the stove, and ended up carbon bonding pasta to my favorite wok. So I scrapped that idea and went for a second try. I put a new pot of pasta on to boil, reminded my self to turn on a timer(which I instantly forgot to do) but while I was cleaning up after my disastrous attempt at a simple meal, the bath tub overflowed and completely soaked the bathroom floor. I was up to my ankles in hot water, trying to dry the bubbles off of the tile when I realized my brother was still on the phone. The phone was still on the counter, and I knew already that he had hung up on me because I had set the phone down and forgotten he was there. By the time I got to my phone, I realized that I had left the stove on, again, (timer forgotten to begin with) and there was now a thick black cloud coming out of the second round of pasta. I have matching black pans sitting on my counter, next to the phone I forgot about, and the water has begun to crawl into the kitchen. I believe it is true, that someone’s IQ can literally drop ten or twenty points when they are thinking about something or someone. Today, I don’t know what I was thinking, but it wasn’t the tub, or the pasta, or even the phone. Perhaps I just wasn’t destined to eat pasta today. Who knows? Maybe I need some Ginko....
