Losing it
What order would you put the list in, from worst to what-the-hey, these things happen -A Losing your car in the parking lot (doh!)
B Losing your passport on holiday (you NUMPTY)
C Losing your place in a long queue because you forgot something (blast it)
D Losing concentration during a boring repetitive job (senility alert?)
E Losing weight without trying (slightly worrying)
F Losing your temper without real cause (eg road rage)
I’ve done them all except option B (so far) but last night I was doing something boring, repetitive, but important to me (setting URLs into one of my ebooks) and suddenly option D has become the most terrifying thing in the world. Until then I’d have put B at the top.
I may be over-reacting, that's why I'm asking. Perhaps everything, at the time it happens, suddenly becomes the most terrifying ...

Unless you really want to walk an aging belligerent dog you can bend to your will (I do read other blogs
Otherwise I'll be back to grant your wish (if in my power) shortly.
Not a good omen of things to come should said romance develop
My excuse, and I think it's a valid one, is that I took the dogs walking on the beach this morning, and the combination of the walk, sun, sea air, and a big meal afterwards just did me in!
(She may not lose her temper, I thought, but golly she takes the huff awfy easy)
Considering poor Pat is packing up his whole life to move to Cork on the off chance, I hope you can stay awake during that first important meeting.
I was mid-sentence writing so ethics, and the next thing I knee I was waking up
I blame the sea air.
I promise to stay awake for at least the first full hour if Pat moves himself and all his belonging here.
(I feel my siesta time is very safe)
What's the topic again?
Consciousness in your case
Remove yourself from the source of the problem and it may dissipate, leaving you able to sleep like an innocent babe.
I'm over it again.
Especially when you don't share
You KNOW that.
Do, please, join me in a glass of wine?
This is yours
I brought beer for Pat because he's from down under
Popcorn?
Don't you mind me, I'll be as quiet as a mouse.
It'll put you to sleep laughing.
I should have sent Map to him to deal with his sleep-related problems also.
See ya on the other side
You want to know something crazy? They don't do that here.
My favourite shopping centre here, though, called their rows by different names, I always parked in Orange Grove.
Okay that reference is lost on everyone who hasn't actually lived in JHB.
Flying visit, may be back later with coffee. Thanks all for playing
Go yellow
oh, RIGHT.
Self-centred? Me?
Wow, my computer is sticking tonight. Maybe everyone's is and that's why the blogs are so quiet
I was busy all night, so I'm only on again now.
I just depressed myself on the forums.
At least Monday is over and a whole week before I need to face it again
But I would have seen it differently.
If one appears from across the world on a tiny site like this, then there is a good chance that there are more, closer.
I'm glad there weren't any others I hadn't done to get the gods laughing hysterically as they lined the experience up.
