Forgetting my head ...
Arghh, I have been all distracted and forgetful lately, but this morning was the worst: I got half way to work on my bike before I even realised that I wasn’t wearing my helmet, because I just completely forgot to put it on! So, then I poked along on the footpath, feeling like a “scofflaw” or an “organ donor”, hoping I wouldn’t get fined on the footpath even if seen (even though you’re not actually supposed to be riding on the footpath if you’re over 12 years old) or wiped out in brain-injury-causing accident by a car. Then, I stopped off at the local IGA near work to buy some stuff for lunch, still calling myself an idiot for forgetting the helmet, paid for my groceries at the checkout then left without them, not realising till I got to work that I left the bag behind, so I had to run back for that. Then I went into the bathroom to get changed into my skirt, only I forgot to actually get changed, so I came in wearing my shorts! I should never have left the house today.
