Disconnected

I'm starting to think I'm blurness personified. A friend sent me a message asking me whether I'd be free for dinner tomorrow and I immediately tried to recall whether I had anything planned. I couldn't think of anything, but I know I'll be busy in the afternoon and I'm not sure if it'll spill over into the night, so I told him I'd confirm with him later.

Then as I was driving back from dance class tonight, I realised: "You dummy! You have CHURCH tomorrow night, lah!" Good grief.

I don't know what this says about me. When someone asks whether I'll be free on a Wednesday night, I always automatically say, "Sorry, I have cell group meeting," but then I cannot remember that my Saturday evenings are set aside for church??? And I've been going to this church for a year already?!??

Of course, I could still go for either Sunday service if I were to miss the Saturday evening ones (we have services at 8:30 and 11 on Sunday mornings). But my routine is to go for Saturday evening, since when I try to make it for Sunday morning I more often end up bonding with my bed instead of God.

I've been going to church quite regularly for many months now -- no longer facing the struggle of dreading it or having to force myself to show up there -- so it makes no sense that I can't seem to identify Saturday evenings with church service inside my head. Very weird.

Talking about blurness, though I managed to lose my car registration card (arrrgh!) I console myself with the fact that I've never lost the most important things to me: my purse, house keys, car keys and mobile phone. I have managed to forget to bring my mobile phone out with me, but I've never lost it. Surely that counts for something, eh?

And I really must stop labelling diskettes, draft emails and .txt files "stuff". How much more vague can I get? When you're blur like me you need the help of all the colourful descriptive words you can conjure up. Otherwise I'll end up losing... err... "stuff". The upside is that I'll never know what it is I've lost! *grin*
