Losing My Mind

Panic.

 

That's what I felt just a short time ago.

 

I was in my office and all of a sudden I realized my phone was nowhere to be found.  I didn't need to make a call but I always have my phone with me.  Where could it be?

 

I frantically searched my office thinking that maybe it was under a pile of papers.  Nope.  What could I have done with it?  I remembered playing with it when by my assistant's desk so I rushed over there.  Nope.  But where did I go between her desk and my office?  It took a really long time but I finally realized I had been in the bathroom.  I guess I was on such autopilot that I managed to go from her desk, to the bathroom and back to my office without actually forming any memory of the action.  That's really alarming.  I'm not even that exhausted so why am I losing my mind?  Why am I not even remembering where I've been?  What if I had been walking outside in traffic?  I've done that on autopilot too.  What's wrong with me?

 

Anyway, the phone was there, right where I left it.  Panic resolved.
