"A mind is a terrible thing to waste"

Internet, I've recently come to the realization that I am no longer in control of my thinking.
I went home to make my protein shake for after my workout tonight. So I do the whole thing and I'm ready to head back to work shake in hand. But I can't find my sunglasses. I know for a fact I came in with them. My apartment is set up so when you walk in the door the kitchen is the first room you see, I went straight in there when I got home- I went into no other room. Now, I'm going crazy looking for them, you know, double checking my purse and the counters, the table and even the sink just in case they fell in and I didn't notice. Nothing! They have vanished. This is ten minutes of searching for them. To be sure I start looking in my dining room and living room. When you go home you're typically on autopilot so I may have just walked in there and not remembered. No dice there either. Since all the normal places they could be have been expended I start the irrational search: dishwasher, freezer etc. And there they are. In my refrigerator. On top of my salad just sitting there accompanied by a brief moment of disappointment in myself.
I am becoming one of those absent minded frantic people everyone makes fun of.
Woe.
