It’s been almost a month since my last confession. Today I have come to the realization that I’ve been living in a fog for months now, I’ve been working and getting things done but I’ve missed details. Important details and one that almost left me stranded in New York!
I bought my ticket to BlogHer at the end of February then quickly booked my hotel room and flight so I wouldn’t miss out on the good prices. Today I discovered that I booked my flight reservation a day before on the fourth instead of the fifth which means I would have been stranded in NY for an entire day/night until my room was ready. How could have booked the flight on the wrong day? I can only blame the “fog” for this. A mistake which thanks to my mother (yes I’m thanking you, yes I’m doing here since you never read my blog) was discovered because she was bugging me for my travel dates. I was able to change my flight for $140. Costly, yes! But better than being stranded in New York alone? Wow!
That is just one example, the hubs and I got in a minor debate over a movie he claimed I saw with him that I can’t remember. Now if you know me I rarely (hardly ever) ever forget a movie. I think it’s a natural habit when you are a writer. He said we watched it a few months ago and I can’t remember a single thing about it, I don’t remember the movie, I don’t remember watching it with him. In fact, I even suggested he must have seen it with someone else. We are still debating who’s right? LOL. It’s the “fog,” I’m sure of it.
Then I somehow misplaced my kids’ birth certificates, which I still can’t find after tearing our office apart for days. Sure I can order new ones, but it’s just not like me to misplace such important papers. It has to be the “fog.”
I’m sure there are many more “fog” experiences but they haven’t come to surface yet.
So today I’m going to try and blow the “fog” away, reorganize and refocus so hopefully I can see clearly again. Have you ever felt you were living in a “fog” and how did you clear the skies?

I’m trying to bat the fog away. It’s starting to make me sad

You would have been able to crash with me since I’m getting in on the 4th

Sheena,
Oh I guess I should have asked around first before changing the flight – was in a panic after I realized my error. Ugg. Are we still hanging out the day after? We should work on blowing that fog away together. I’ll help you, you can help me like the buddy system.
