Grass and Sky

Some days my brain just totally fails me. Getting a ride home after babysitting this evening, the dad hands me my babysitting fee. I stash it somewhere and immediately put it out of my mind. Get home, put my stuff down, strip off my coat/hat/boots. Reach into my coat pocket to transfer money to my wallet. Hm. No money in my coat pocket. Maybe the other pocket? Nope. Double check both pockets. Crap! Did it fall out of my pocket when I pulled my keys out, out in the snow and slush covered street? Did it fall out in the car when I tried to put it in my pocket? I headed out into the street, in my slippers (did I mention it's about 5F out there?), to search for a small wad of cash. Nothing. Maybe I should text the dad to look in his car. No, wait. Brain flash! I put the money in my backpack. Phew! I crept back inside, put the money in my wallet, and shook my head at my idiocy.

Positives:

*I did eventually find that money.

*Steelers won the AFC Championship. Next up, the Superbowl.

*I feel mostly pretty healthy today, for the first time in a while.

*My apartment is kinda sorta clean (if you don't look in the dark corners).

*I love the new Hawaii Five-0. Tonight's episode was excellent and fun, and had an interesting little moment at the end that should lead to more excellence in future. It also provided a little brain tease for me. I caught one snatch of a familiar looking actor about fifteen minutes in, but I didn't catch the character's name, and besides, imdb doesn't have any actor information up for the episode yet. So I've spent the evening trying to beat the identity of that actor out of my brain. And eventually, I did. The actor is Joel Moore, who pops up occasionally on Bones as one of Brennan's hapless interns. Yay, brain!
