Last Wednesday I blogged a reprimmand to my brain for misbehavior and conduct unbecoming a brain with the responsibility of managing my life. Kind of a “mind over mind” attempt.
Saturday I got to Fred Meyer and discovered that I had six blue primroses in my cart and no good idea of what I [...]
Okay. I’m officially tired of this neurological wiring problem. Whoever attached the green wire to the blue wire, or whatever the hell it is that happened, the joke is over. I am not going to blow up.
