\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I see myself trying to live life in every direction. This gets me in trouble because it makes me a little skatter-brained.<\/p>\n

I get so frustrated by my own ignorance, especially when I know I have learned something before and forgotten it. I’m always reading and writing to try and fight my own ignorance… or dementia.<\/p>\n

“Enthalpy or Entropy?” I asked myself\u00a0 when I opened my messy kitchen drawer this afternoon. By the way, a real science teacher would never have to ask herself this question.<\/p>\n

Richard overheard me. (I guess I wasn’t asking in my head.) With a swagger (the kind you can put together while sitting in a chair,) he effortlessly said, “Entropy.”<\/p>\n

If I lost you in the above paragraphs, please don’t be concerned. Let’s just pretend it didn’t happen. I’m brilliant. I’m together. And my kitchen drawer is not a mess.<\/p>\n

Back to the beginning. You know, about living life in every direction. I feel driven to know more. So much of my life is neglected, but I read books with heft…whilst teaching, eating, and writing this nonsense on the blog.<\/p>\n

Today I misplaced 8 pages of notes I have taken from my reading of the latest smartypants book. I lost the notes in one of the following places:<\/p>\n

1. The dentist (45 minutes away)<\/p>\n

2. Michael’s craft store<\/p>\n

3. McDonald’s drive up (My, this is a confession tonight.)<\/p>\n

4. Library drop-box<\/p>\n

5. Somewhere in the van<\/p>\n

I would really like to find the notes in the van, but it isn’t happening.<\/p>\n

It could be dementia. I need to do some more crossword puzzles. Do you know that tonight one of the missionaries we invited over for dinner asked if I had a SON in the MTC? That would make me, well, a little bit older than I actually am. Ok, not much older.<\/p>\n

It’s 8:30. Time to recharge the hearing aids and give the dentures a good soak!<\/p>\n

And whoever sent me a text today giving me a hard time about passwords on my blog,\r\nidentify yourself. Just type my middle name if you know me, silly.\r\nYou should also know that I have only sent a text about 4 times in my life\r\nand it was only because Ray had cancer. Nothing else can impel me to type with my thumbs.<\/pre>\n
