My wanderlust mind

Okay, no I don't mean my mind is lusting as it wanders....or maybe it does. At any rate, the point of this post was...uh...oh yeah. So I'm buying some sucker fish for the little turtle tank & as I'm waiting I pause to wonder....if you buy two plecostomus are they really two plecostomi ? I voice my query to the poor pet store aquarium lady who says she's really never thought of that. Okay, I've just given her something to ponder for the rest of the day. My work is done. Take my little suckers & go home.
The reason I think my mind went a wandering is because of an earlier appearance by moi to a counselor's office. No, not a therapist....I'm already screwed up having majored in psych in college. No no, a high school counseling office. The amount of inability to organize & focus was amazing at best. I'm hoping this is an affliction known only at this school, 'cuz if this is the norm, I don't envy kids heading into high school. Okay, I don't really envy them anyway. I couldn't WAIT to get out of high school. But seriously, one kid actually fell asleep in their chair waiting because the person couldn't find their schedule. The room was alive with irate parents & students alike. And there stood the staff, rather like deer in the headlights of a very large semi. Wow.
So that is why my mind took a wee bit of a detour down a very weird road. Not to worry, my mind is full of weird roads. It is the reason I write. See all those weird twisty turny roads lead right down from my brain to my fingers & then onto the keyboard where they miraculously materialize into written word. Yeah, okay, anatomy, biology, not strong points in school but you get what I'm saying.
Has your mind taken a detour lately? Go for it.
