Yesterday, I had court at 7, so I picked up my van after work, and went back to my office. I had planned on going to a zumba class from 5 to 6.
I was working away, and totally spaced on zumba. I had my bag all packed, my waterbottle, the class fee.
WTF? How does that happen?

WTF? How does that happen? You're a business owner and a parent... you're remembering the vital stuff like getting the kids to school and serving the clients and your brain gets maxed out and forgets the rest. The first few years of any new business are usually pretty crazy and it's not unusual for basic self-care of the owner to fall by the wayside. I'm proud of you for even thinking about Zumba.

Crime rates are that high that your little town needs a night court?

Back before cell phones I had to put a post-it note on my steering wheel if I was supposed to pick up the kids. My wife got off before me and usually did.

WTF? How does that happen? What is zumba? I know, I can google. As hard as it seems, try managing your time more efficiently. It is Friday afternoon, relax and go to your family.

I have been known to "take her home first" even when she isn't in the car with me. LOL, after DH retired and we moved back to the SF Bay Area we would be driving somewhere and he'd be on auto pilot and start heading to work...at a workplace he left 9 years ago!

Check your thyroid? I was saying last week that I just can't focus lately and a friend asked how long since I had my thyroid checked. Sure enough they had to up my dosage.

It just happens when the project is focused.
I set a timer if I know I need to work at something on for a certain period of time. It relieves the stress of forgetting.

Flow. You're an expert in, and love, the work you do. Or you're getting old and forgetful. Take your pick.

After following this story on the news a while back, I can't see the word "zumba" with a straight face anymore!
www.cbsnews.com/news/zumba-instructor-prostitution-allegations-rock-maine-town-of-kennebunk/
I'll copy the first few paragraphs:
"KENNEBUNK, Maine - The upscale Maine town of Kennebunk is known for its beaches, old sea captains' mansions and the neighboring town of Kennebunkport, home to the Bush family summer compound.
But the talk of the town these days is the arrest of local fitness instructor Alexis Wright, who is charged with running a prostitution business out of her Zumba dance studio and filming the encounters.
Now the town is waiting for the revelation of which of their friends and neighbors are among her more than 100 alleged johns.
"There's still some of that puritanical New England left around," said Will Bradford, who owns a copy shop in town. "There are places in the world that would laugh at this."
Wright, 29, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Portland to 106 counts of prostitution, violation of privacy, tax evasion and other charges. The man police say was her business partner, 57-year-old Mark Strong Sr., pleaded not guilty to 59 counts of promotion of prostitution and violation of privacy. Both are free on personal recognizance...."
