lester LOVES randy.  whenever randy comes to visit, he plays vigorously with les, who LOVES that.  les starts tearing all around the place like a maniac.

this morning was a birthday breakfast at IHOP, with all three of the dunham boys.  randy got some fine gifts, plus a blueberry pancake breakfast.

amy bought him some whipped cream vodka.

ok then, quickly, before i have to go change the sprinkler position outside – here is why i know i’m losing my mind:

yesterday morning, i was going to go to weightlifting class, which is at 9:30, always has been at 9:30.  but the one on wednesday is at 8:45.

so sometime, after getting up and taking mollie for a walk even though it was already incredibly hot and sticky outside, i somehow decided that class wasn’t til 9:45.  NO classes start at 9:45.

so i got to the fit club and went up the stairs, and there’s always a few women milling around outside the workout room door, but there were no women at all, and i thought, hmm, am i THAT early?

then i looked in the room, and thought, MY GOODNESS, WHY ARE ALL THE ZUMBA WOMEN LYING ON THE FLOOR ON MATS?

it took me a few moments to realize that weightlifting class had, of course, already started, there were weights lying all around,  it was 15 minutes into it, and just how absentminded can i be?

last night i turned on the sprinkler down by the lake.  because the crappy new sprinkler doesn’t oscillate anymore, i just had it aimed at one new little bush i’d planted.

when i woke up at four this morning i was lying there for a long time and then suddenly i thought I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE SPRINKLER!

i staggered out and turned off the faucet; at least i didn’t have to go all the way down to the lake to do it.

when i walked down there later this morning, i was surprised that the ground wasn’t a bog.  but then i turned the sprinkler back on and realized it had totally broken; a plastic part had split off and so a big plume of water was shooting into the air.  the peach tree got a very good nine-hour watering anyway.

also when i was lying there this morning i suddenly thought I FORGOT TO GIVE MY CLIENT A BOTTLE OF WATER!  yesterday it was over 100 outside and definitely a day that i needed to hand a massage client a nice cold bottle of water when they leave and HOW HAD I FORGOTTEN THAT???

this morning i texted him and apologized for forgetting.

he texted me back and said that i HAD given him the water, thanks.

losing. my. mind.

more and more and more.
