In Another World

When I brush my teeth or blow dry my hair, I am in another world. For some strange reason, my brain starts thinking about ALL the things that I am unable to think about during the day. I literally can finish brushing my teeth or drying my hair and wonder how it got done. Granted I have been doing both for a really LONG time. And, it doesn't take a lot of brain power to do both. But, for some strange reason, I am in another world.

I think part of the reason is, is that I do both when the kids are usually asleep. I have no expectation of being interrupted. Hubby is usually asleep or not home, so I am virtually "alone." I feel responsibility free. My brain knows it and can relax and just wander. I think of fun things, important things, things that need to be done, things I have done (which probably shouldn't have), etc., etc., etc.

The bad side of the whole thing, is that when someone does come in the bathroom during either of those times, I FREAK OUT. I mean literally. It is SO unexpected that sometimes I scream or yell. I am never more startled then when someone interrupts those two things. After I get over my initial shock. And I mean SHOCK, I laugh to myself. And I try to laugh with the person who scared the you know what out of me.

For as many times as I have told myself to be prepared for the possibility, I am still so surprised. Can't explain it, don't understand it, it just happens. . .
