I am losing it folks!

I think I am officially losing it! First of all, let me say, I am the world's best procrastinator. I have housework to do - but I feel like writing today - so I have been sitting here during valuable naptime - writing. As I was sitting here a few minutes ago - trying to work out a sentence in my short story - I began to feel really hot. I mean, red cheeks, fanning with scrap paper, completely uncomfortable, type of hot. I knew it wasn't a hot flash - had some of those already, this wasn't it. I couldn't figure it out - just an hour ago I was freezing, sitting under a blanket, teeth chattering. And then it hit me - I am wearing three (yes, I said three) t-shirts, sitting in front of sun-lit window, in a room with the door closed. Oh geesh, is it ever hot in here!

I had totally forgotten that while freezing earlier,I started folding laundry. I pulled a warm t-shirt out of the dryer and couldn't resist putting it on over my other shirt. It felt so good, that I did it again with the next warm t-shirt - thus warming myself up quite nicely. That is until I came in here to write and lost myself in words and sentence structure. But really, don't you think a normal person would have remembered she had on 3 shirts and not have sat here wondering if the next step should be a call to the doctor?

Yes, folks, I am losing it - and I can't even blame this one on the three-year old - she is sleeping soundly. I am off to find a cooler spot in this house, do some housework and hopefully I will remember to take off at least two shirts before I get heated up again.
