Yesterday saw me hit the wall.

My morning started innocently enough, grinding away on some contract work as well as juggling my regular day-night job duties, but found things quickly melting down into a surreal nightmare of short term memory loss. It culminated with my desperate search for my car keys, late as usual to drive the baby to my parent’s house for the day, to discover I left them in the ignition all night in the on position. My focus has been so hard on my work that the most practical and menial of tasks, like remembering to turn off the car, have begun to escape my grasp.

To pull me back to reality and give me some a much needed break Management took me into West Hartford for her hair appointment and I spent the better part of the afternoon off-line taking pictures. While raw and damp it was a fine way to get my head reattached.

    I know the feeling about getting more and more absent minded ‘cos of work. You find instances of going up the stairs, and then not knowing what you went up for appear like ogres through the mist…

    Glad you’re feeling better!

    Thats a LOT of cows. Why so many?

    LOL! Exactly like ogres through the mist!

    I completely forgot to include a link to Cow Parade. It’s a public art exhibit where the pieces are auctioned off at charity after the showing. It comes through every couple of years we try and make a point to see all of the cows (somewhere around 50). It does tour worldwide so you might be able to catch one in London (the last showing there was 2002).

    One of these days I mean to buy a cow and plop it in my front yard. :-D
