Wonder Why

My memory is getting worse. I went into the bathroom to grab the empty water pitcher to refill it.

Instead, I grabbed the glass.

Not only was that not very bright but it was not pitcheresque either.



But it was punny.

words or terms that I know but rarely use. Yesterday's offering (as I was walking the dog with friends at the local park, watching the stars). was the word for these a'hole wealthy-as-hell narcissists who have a physician on speed-dial--much like lawyers on retainer. No, they don't call them the same. Well, the walk finally shook it out of me--concierge doctors (a premise I detest) just like the concierge in fancy hotels.

So, I thought your post was going to be like that, and yesterday was frustrating for far too long until I remembered the term.

Were you thinking about something else while you were heading to the bathroom or did something get your attention? Sometimes while out right brain is playing with ideas our left brain follows through with a directive (get the pitcher) based on the last thing you did in that surrounding. Maybe the last time you were in the bathroom where water was involved you used the glass. This time your right brain could have been too busy to re-instruct the the left on needing a pitcher even though your already thought about it. The left does things in a stack of past actions, the right coordinates new information, decides and relays it to the left to do it. It's a concentration thing. That happens to me every once in a while.
