Well I am certainly in a "State of UNmindfulness" today and the entire past week.

I seem to be having a very hard time being mindful of the present moment, task, etc.

Yesterday I went all the way to the Post Office only to discover I didn't take the mail. That was my only reason for going out.

Today I went to Riverside for my pre-admission testing for my upcoming colonoscopy. Because I was not being mindful, I passed my exit and went 8  miles out of the way. Then I parked without a thought as exactly where i parked.  I went to my appt on the 4th floor and discover that i had lost my parking ticket for them to stamp.  I came back to my car (after going to the 2nd floor in the garage - not there. Got on the elevator and started over. Went to the 3rd floor - not there.  Finally I remembered that I was on the 2nd floor but far from the elevator.  Looked everywhere for my parking stub - to no avail. I finally made it home safe and sound.  I gound my parking stub in my back pocket of the jeans!

Can either of you relate?  I find myself doing this crazy crap more and more and it really bothers me! That's why I keep doing it because of the fact that it bothers me so.

How about you two - can you relate?  One of you may have to take care of me one of these days.

LoveYa!
