Popcorn Brain

If you read my blog, you will notice, or have noticed, that I frequently flit from one specific idea or thought to another topic that is radically different from what I started writing about.  I frequently wonder that if I had been born in the 1980s or '90s, would I have been diagnosed with ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder.  I have always been able to read and retain information easily; I may not be able to sit perfectly still for long periods, but I can definitely concentrate on one book, or one thought for hours.  So I'm pretty sure I don't have ADD.  I have also had multiple concussions, have suffered a bout of amnesia, have lost part of my sense of smell, and have migraine headaches, thanks to various accidents that have "sloshed my brain around." No matter the reason, I find that my thoughts jump like fleas from one subject to another.  I try to re-read each and every blog, before I post it, in an attempt to "tidy things up."  But there is no denying the fact that one thought frequently sets off a chain reaction of thoughts and ideas that are seemingly unlinked to one another - but suddenly stick in my mind.  I call my brain a "Popcorn Brain" because sometimes the kernels that pop and expand while flying go in some very strange directions and at very odd trajectories....  So if you ever wonder I sometimes abruptly change subjects, you now have a rather pitiful explanation from the source.
  It's been warm here for the past few days, and that weather is expected to continue through next weekend, according to the forecasters.  My cats are rejoicing in the warmth and sunshine, and the fact that some grass is appearing from under the snow carpet.  I get to spend tonight at home, after being away for four evenings, caring for other pets and houses.  I am researching a family tree for a friend, and begin walking another doggie, for a week, on Thursday.  March is usually the month when Boulder gets the most snow each year.  We're starting off pretty dry, other than a few inches at the beginning of the month.
  I hope your work week isn't too exhausting!

Home And Relaxation

I'm home for a little while - since it's still cooler than it was, Nedi is having a ball running in and out, while Lovey is sleeping in my reading chair.  I sleep at home for the next 8 weeks, minus three nights; it will be heaven.  I'm taking care of a house during the day, but I get to come home each night and sleep with my kits in my apartment.  I'll read aloud to Tugger and Sasquatch while I'm at their house, and I'll continue walking the Rs on a daily basis; next week I start walking Lucy on Tuesdays and Thursdays again, too.  So I'll keep walking as the seasons finally start to change.
   Tonight, I'll watch the Packers and Bears game, cheering for the Packers; but, at 9 p.m. I'll switch over to see Person of Interest on CBS.  I'll be able to watch the Gators and the Gamecocks on Saturday - and I hope to see both the Jets and the Redskins Sunday, and then the Broncos on Monday.
   I just received my slew of photos via the mail, that I need to get into order; and I just finished writing a short story.  I've had two people offer to illustrate my story, and they want me to send it to a publisher.  Grandma Anne is going to check my grammar before anything else goes any farther...  I had fun writing the story, but I really can't believe it would be published....  But - who knows?  One can always dream.
