So to pick up from my ahhhhh I can’t sleep rant this morning this also happened.
It was 4 something and I was trying to follow that Mythbusters tumblr post. If I couldn’t sleep I would at least keep my eyes shut. But my brain was going like a runaway train (as it does) skipping through tasks like rehearsing lines for the email I had to write this morning – and then my book.
A great line re: a banter point popped into my head. I repeated it to myself half a dozen times in my brain. Considered rolling over to write it down. Went “ehhh I’ll remember” immediately came back with “no you won’t! The biggest lie we tell ourselves is I will remember that” – and wouldn’t you know? In the time my brain was consumed in the debate about memory I had indeed forgotten it.
I was so annoyed I think it woke me up even more.
