Heechee -- overclocked processor -- too true. Some other "over" favorites...Overloaded, over wrought, overwhelmed.

Ooooh, Capriciousness, that's a good analogy with the salad spinner! Good description of this morning actually. Trying to get ready to go somewhere, bunch of different things to gather and do. When the ol' twirling my hands around and shaking my head didn't line all the spinning things up didn't work (Haha, yes, I do this a lot. It actually never works. ), had to sit down, and just try to get bearings (and calm down, because it's very stressful to not be able to think straight of course). Tried to explain to BF. Yes, have list(s). But this things 20%, this one's 60%. This thing I did. I think. Not sure though. Better check. They're all spinning around with thoughts that aren't even thoughts bouncing around in there wreaking havoc. Etc. etc.

(Btw, folks -- kudos to Capriciousness, for it was she that planted the idea for this thread. )
