Another Dose of the Tres

1. I check weather.com a good forty times a day. Not because forty is another one of those popular Biblical numbers and not because I'm obsessed with the weather, but because I don't pay enough attention. I go to the site, glance at the pictures, then move on with my business. Then I wonder if it'll rain and have to go back and check, because I did not care enough to find out the first time around. I glance at the weather pictorials and immediately forget them. I navigate away from the site. Then I wonder if it'll be cold. And I have to go back to the site. The cycle repeats for days. I have no attention span.

(Also, just noticed two little Sudafed pills sitting on my desk that I had meant to take this morning, and up until two seconds ago, had assumed I'd taken it. But no. I got distracted by the shiney computer monitor and forgot.)

2. I hate book jackets. When I read a hardcover, I must remove the jacket. Sometimes I put it back after I'm done. Most often, I don't. (I also systematically rip out all the little subscription papers in magazines before I begin reading.)

3. 85% of the time, I have my TI-86 with me.
