Honestly I thought I already wrote this

Honestly I wrote an entire web log entry in a dream I had this morning. I really liked it too but I can’t remember what I wrote about at all other than the pleased feeling I got from it.

So I check my website(s) and there is no entry for today after I could have sworn I wrote one.

Apparently my brain is trying to take care of things in other realms as well.

I do wish I could remember any detail of the entry but it is a bit of a blank.

I need to write topics down as they come to me rather than looking at the blank screen and hoping to have the topic come back out of my brain. Sometimes it works and other times the lights are on but nobody is home.

Does anyone wear a wristwatch anymore? I know I do when traveling because it is more convenient than pulling out my cell phone. But Ariel doesn’t wear one nor has she ever. Caroline has one but never wears it except when I remind her and none of the kids at the bus stop wear a watch. In fact most of the parents don’t either. I guess we have gone back to an upgraded version of the pocket watch aka the smart-phone.

Sometimes I do put all my timepieces away and give myself permission to not care about time passing. It is sort of an in the moment thing for me. I am aware time is passing but it is not the ruler of what I am doing. I also step away from the computer and the smart-phone at times to just allow me to have some time that I am not electronically hooked into the world.

Time is a funny thing. When I was a kid, the holidays took forever to get to. Now as an adult I swear I blink and find myself in another month. With Caroline around, I feel like time is sped up ever more. I just brought her home from the hospital and now I suddenly have this little girl who is reading a book on the couch next to me. I can remember that we did a lot of things between each point but it seems so fast. Fig is doing the same thing. A couple of months ago she was a small scared ball of fluff and now she is vying to be the Alpha Cat on occasion. (So far she has been informed by the older cats that she is not.)

Caroline is feeling a little better today but the fever keeps coming in and out so we are keeping an eye on it and her. I am hoping that she’ll be alright for school tomorrow but if she is running a fever again, we may have to keep her home for a day or so.

I am grateful for my watches including my really cool early digital watch.

I have a few wristwatches, but I don't enjoy wearing them. I don't like the way they feel on the wrist. Also, I don't feel that time is that vital, and when it is, my internal clock does fairly well on its own. I don't even consult my mobile phone for the time.

I'll sometimes put the watch on, wear it during the subway commute, and take it off as soon as I get to the office. I had a date a few years ago where, the moment we sat down to dinner, I took my watch off and put it on the table. She thought that was utterly baffling, and we didn't go out again after that. *shrug*

I've always preferred pocket watches. When I had the regular kind, I killed them. My mom has the same problem. Batteries don't last long with us. However, now I just use my cellphone and I kind of like that feeling of, Now before I take the time to look at the time...is it really that important?

Most of the time it isn't, it's better to just enjoy the moment.

Definitely a wristwatch wearer here. I feel undressed without it. The current watch is just a fill-in until I get a decent one. Then again, it's filled in now for a couple of years. Heh.

Another wristwatch wearer here. I've worn one pretty much all my life. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I wear a talking and Braille wrist watch. The funny thing about it is that the braille doesn't keep pace with the talking part so when people see it on my wrist it is never the right time and they often comment. I don't care though because I use its talking feature. lol.

I just wanted to say I was sorry to see you get kicked out of idol.

I still wear a watch - it feels strange for me going without one (and half the time, my phone gets buried in my purse anyway).

I wear a nondigital wristwatch when I go out and have for over ten years. It's much more convenient than pulling out a phone, especially since I keep my phone in my purse or in my pocket. Having the time right there on my wrist strikes me as much more advanced than having to fumble through a purse full of stuff for five minutes just to find out what time it is.
