Do you ever have them? You know, when you do something that is totally dumb, and don’t even realize you did it until later. I had one yesterday.

I found some job listings online and emailed them to a friend of ours. He works with my husband right now but wants to move back home whenever he can find employment there. He is from Idaho.

Well, I emailed him three jobs I’d found. A few hours later when I was telling my husband about it, what I’d done actually hit me. I sent him jobs in IOWA, not Idaho. Yep, the state abbreviation was IA. I KNOW that’s not right, but it didn’t hit me until that long after doing it. I emailed him today saying to disregard my earlier email. I know he’s going to think I lost my mind…lol.

Oh well, nothing else I can do about it.

Have you ever done something like that? I’m sorry to say that I have brain farts often. I can blame some of it on the fibromyalgia because it causes cognitive difficulties, but not all. I’ve did this type thing all my life. My Dad always used to say I should have been the blonde one. (I’m the only one of his kids that isn’t blonde)

Tell us about one of your brain fart moments!
