On Overload

My mind is over tired and winding out stuff in every direction.  It’s been one of those days when I feel a little mentally overwhelmed.  While I’m coping with all the everyday stuff,  I’m delving into every crack and crevice of my brain thinking of all the things I need to do, things I want to do and things that should have been done.

Isn’t it crazy how much we can fit into our little brain without exploding.  So much that I need to make lists so I don’t forget really important things.  I saw on TV today that keeping busy helps preserve your brain function – if so, I’m good for a while.  But I can’t excuse that keeping as busy as I have been is exhausting and my mind is reeling. 

I’m thinking that at some point I need to get to Virginia to see my new grand-daughter.  I need to spend some more time with my kids and grandkids.  I need to pay some bills.  I need to make a will.  I need to make a grooming appointment for the dog.  I need to get a DNR at the doctors.  I need to make some phone calls to follow-up on the places I discussed for Jim.  I need to cut the cats claws.  I need to decide when it will be a good time to make the crucial decision.  I should have sent Christmas cards.  I should call some old friends.  I need to find out what will happen financially.  I need to find a recipe for Irish Stew.   I need to, I want to, I should ……………...........     That’s how my mind is working - overloaded with things.

How do I step back from the hectic life, especially mine, and turn off the symphony of things going on in my head so I can have a good nights sleep.   My friend Jamison (scotch whiskey) doesn’t do much for me.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 Chao for now
