Oh, now I've forgotten.

Have you ever gone on the computer to do one thing and did ten things that is not the one thing you wanted to do then turn off computer with that one thing still not being done?

While at work yesterday I knew I wanted to look up something so I went to Google and sat there for a few minutes looking into space because I couldn’t remember what I wanted to look up. I thought, ‘Why am I doing this? Is there a certain food that will help boost my memory?’
So I decided to look up memory boosting foods. I found a few interesting pages. Although one page listed that a few “Brain Blockers,” such as eating the combination of proteins and starches will have a negative effect on brain functions because it takes more energy to digest them, which means that less blood is going to the brain. I thought this was interesting because with all my researching, other people have said you should eat protein with your starches because it not only lowers your blood sugar level, you digest it slower making the food stay in you longer, so you don’t get hungry as quickly. It just goes to show that there are so many schools of thought on nutrition.
Then, Oooh! Memory games! I can test to see how good my memory is! I started playing a few memory games. Not bad so far, inputting my answers. Oh yeah, I had to input segment times on our Master Control playlist (for work purposes).
There I am looking for a scrap piece of paper, from a whole pile of papers on my desk, to write down the times when I realized that I had been cutting up some good labels. Earlier I took some DVD label sheets that had already been used. I wanted to cut out the side labels that we were never going to use so I could bring them home. I realized that some of the ones I had been cutting up were good ones. Oops. Well nothing I can do about those now.
I had a whole bunch of useless labels on my desk that were just taking up a lot of room. I wanted to get rid of them. Can you recycle labels? I would have gone back to Google to find out the answer except that I realized that I was pretty hungry so I went to get some food. When I got back to my computer to go back to Google search, Dogs in Outfits? Do I really want to go to that page? (Yeah, I do.) Looking at the dogs in funny outfits, a co-worker walks by and says hello. Ok right. Back to work. I still had to input those game times, now I have to find the email. Oh there’s my Google search page. So finally I got the segment times then did my search for memory boosting foods. Feels good to get that done! Among many listed were blueberries, apples, spinach, onions and broccoli. Strange because I do eat all of those.

What was I looking up originally? Oh, now I’ve forgotten.
