symptoms of an unknown malady

#1. i can't find the golden raisins!

where are the golden raisins!

i have been going in circles around this bulk section pushing this grocery cart everywhere and there are NO GOLDEN RAISINS ANYWHERE!

"Uh, ma'am?" (because I look 45 years old? No, it's just a good ole Texas boy though its hard to tell under his hip-hop exterior) "That's not your basket. It's my basket. I think that is your basket."

#2. why are my swimming goggles in my office with the paper clips and highlighters?

#3. 2am, attempting to dump out the pile of leftovers and extra juices from the evening meal, what looks to be the epitome of "pig slop", micah dumps the disgusting concoction all over the dryer, floor and her feet. laughter follows as well as a sour stomach.

#4. i've tried 3 times to get the internet back on! why won't the phone and the internet work? and it hits her. oh yeah, you have to remember to pay the bill in order for them to stay on...

#5. in a crucial moment where the boss in under pressure from a solicitor, he asks micah a question that she knows to answer in the affirmative but all sense is lost and she answers in the negative. next time, the boss says, we'll use cue cards.

#6. a day of great importance is upon her, the day when she gets to spend an hour and a half in the same room with the woman married to the most powerful man in the world, her thoughts are completely otherwise occupied and she completely loses track of the day. 5:00 rolls around and she has done nothing productive (okay, she made a couple of website updates at 9am).

Diagnosis?

possibilities:
-lost marbles (most likely)
-caffeine deficiency (probable)
-other (to gain a complete diagnosis I suggest full lobotomy)

Treatment?

Hopeless case. Must do the best we can to protect patient from destructive patterns of willy-nilly behaviors.
