Out of body experiences....

...aren't that uncommon, are they? Because I had one yesterday....I was telling my sister about this conversation I had with a friend at work. Her name is Liz. (My friend's name is Liz, not my sister's name. ) And I was recounting this story along the lines of "so I said to Liz...." and then "Liz said to me..." and then "I said to Liz...." and then "Liz said to that other girl..." but here's the kicker - the whole time it was just Liz and I having a conversation, but when I was telling my sister about it, I switched and refered to myself as "that other girl". My sister thought it was hysterically funny. Me, not so much.

Kinda makes me wonder....like last month went I went on vacation and my daughter gave me a paperback to read called "Still Alice" about "a woman who turns 50 and begins a descent into a battle with mental illness and ultimately altzheimers. Every time I forget something, or can't remember the silliest little thing - like what I had for breakfast, or what day of the week it is, or where I parked my car, or if I took the train to work or drove - I begin to wonder......could I be losing my mind?

But then I think, "Naw....it's probably that other girl".

until tomorrow...
