So Many Random Thoughts

I don’t have just one thing in my mind at any time. My brain is a buzz of activity from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to sleep. I can concentrate, but I need to be utterly engrossed in something for that to happen. Jigsaw puzzles will often still my mind to the extent that I am thinking of nothing else. Meditation last thing at night will often do it. Watching my daughter play football when she was younger would keep me concentrating, but that was helped by me writing reports on every game I watched for seven seasons, so in a sense I was still thinking of two things at once. Just to give you an insight into my mind, here’s the things that have flitted in and out of it in the first few hours of wakefulness.

What’s the time? My phone needs charging. I let Albus out at midnight. Where is he? Now he’s in I can sort out his breakfast. He’s gone into Hana’s room but I will do it anyway. I need a drink – breakfast tea or Earl Grey? Let’s look at my new library book. It’s good, at least for the first two chapters. I wonder what’s going on in the world? Why do I want to know?! Let’s look at sport. Nothing interesting there. I have my twitter challenges to do. Let me look at my Spotify for the playlists for them. Why do I build up all these playlists and then never listen to them? How can I choose a favourite album? Surely that’s impossible for any normal human being! Ah, Janet’s up. Must do her drink. Let’s look at the prize crossword for today. It’s a hard one. I wish my general knowledge was better. Why do my legs feel so tired? I should be able to walk more than I do. Maybe it’s because I have been doing less walking than usual. I must build it up. I don’t need to go shopping today. I got everything yesterday. Maybe we can have a walk this afternoon. I really must get on with my exercises because I can’t have breakfast until I do. The dumbbell work is definitely improving. I can go up to 3kg tomorrow. My form is better and I have noticed that I am reshaping my physique slowly. That’s good. I need breakfast but I don’t feel like getting it yet! What’s the prompt for today’s blog?!

It’s a really interesting insight into my brain and why it can be quite exhausting at times having a continuous internal monologue. I wonder if it’s anything to do with Asperger’s? Oh well, here I go again!!
