A Day in My Life

I decided to water the new shrubs. As I turned on the hose in the driveway, I looked over at my car and decided it needed washing.

As I started toward the garage, I noticed the mail on the
table that I brought in from the mail box earlier.

I decided to go through the mail before I washed the
car. I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in
the garbage can, and noticed that the
can is full.

So I decided to put the bills back on the table and
take out the garbage first.  But then I think, since
I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the
garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I took my check book off the table and saw that
I only had one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk, so I went
inside the house to my desk where I find the beer I'd been drinking.

I was going to look for my checks, but first I needed to
move the beer aside so that I didn't accidentally
knock it over.

The beer is getting warm, so I decided to put it in
the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the beer, a vase
of flowers on the counter catches my eye: they needed
water. I put the beer on the counter and discover
my glasses that I'd been searching for all
morning.

I decided I better put them back on my desk, but
first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly spot the TV
remote. Matt left it on the kitchen table.

I realized that tonight when he goes to watch TV, he'll
be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that
it's on the kitchen table, so I decided to put it
back in the living room where it belongs, but first I'll
water the flowers.

I poured some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of
it spilled on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, got some
towels and wiped up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I
was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed,
The bills aren't paid,
There is a warm bottle of beer sitting on the
counter,
The flowers don't have enough water,
There is still only one check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done
today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy
all day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a
serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check and see who is on Gather.
