Memory, or the Lack Thereof

And I'm not talking about my hard drive this time. You haven't heard from me for a few days because I am bipolar and with this condition comes occasional insomnia. You don't want to read anything I've written after not sleeping for four days, trust me on this.

But today, on the eight hour drive home from Dallas (we made a couple of stops) I had two ideas for blog posts that I liked, one of which I remember thinking was excellent. The problem is, I can't remember what either of those ideas were. I can remember thinking they were good, but not the ideas themselves. Do you want the kicker? I have a small pad and pen in my purse for just such an occasion. I also write fiction and so I always keep something nearby to write on so that if inspiration should strike, I will be able to write it down. But this time I forgot to remember to write it down.

So I want to get a tattoo that says Write it down but I don't know where one would put such a tattoo so that it would be both inconspicuous and yet somewhere I would see it so that I would remember not to forget.

It's a quandary. I'll think about it for a while.

If I don't forget.
