My Brain is the Special Kind of Special

gridloreSo I know most of you consider me a pretty smart guy. I'm not going to say you're wrong, but this morning I had a brain fart so amazing I have to share it.
Part of my pre-work routine is taking my 32oz Hydroflask, dropping a Nuun tablet in, and filling it with water. I then put it on our little kitchen island next to my mask, keys, and phone )already in the belt clip) so I can get out the door quickly.
Well, this morning I was ready to go and went for my stuff when I noticed that the lid of the HydroFlask wasn't on the bottle. Confused, I began a search. Now, our apartment is very small, and the area I had been operating in is less than 100 sq ft. But I could not find the damn thing. Needing to get out the door I grabbed another lid from my growler and figured nobody would notice that my tan bottle suddenly had a black lid.
Fast-forward (at speeds ranging from 25 to 35 mph) and I'm at the school. I get out and reach into my pocket to get my keyring so I can clip the truck key back on. . . and my hand encounters something unexpected. Yup. The lid for my water bottle. What in the Abyss caused me to put it in my pocket, I'll never know.
But yeah, smart guy means when my brain skips the grooves, it's spectacular!

Date: 10 Nov 2021 19:17 (UTC)Had a related experience this week, when I went to put Colleen's wheelchair in the car to return to Norco. I'd been looking for one of the footrests for the last three months. It turned out to be attached to the chair. Somehow I had managed to bring it in from the car, put it in the spare bedroom, fold it up, and put the other footrest in the seat, and spend the next three months assuming that I'd taken the footrest off and put it somewhere.
