It was the 5th time I had done it since Sunday.
There I stood, in the the middle of the Dining Room, uncertain of which wall to face. I felt my eyes glaze over and shook my head in protest. "Bedroom twice, hall once, kitchen once, and now the dining room." I was not loosing my mind, I knew that, but I was glazing over again. "Damn." I closed my eyes and shook my head again... Contents may settle in shipping.... shake before opening. I smiled, realizing the pointlessness of the motion. I looked down at my feet.
"Remind me again of why we are here?" My feet didn't answer. "Figures."
I started with the wall to my left. I don't know why I chose the wall to my left, but then again, I didn't know what I was looking for either. I scanned the shelves, desk, and floor. Nothing. I turned to my right, repeat, nothing. Right, repeat, nothing. Right, repeat, nothing. Right.... right back where I started. Hmmph.
"Well feet, " I implored, "I simply don't remember why I came here. You are just going to have to backtrack until I figure it out!" Slowly, I retraced my steps, down the hall, around the bend, to the middle of the floor.... and nothing. I slumped into my chair, ready to get back to whatever it was I was doing on the computer before my feet so rudely interrupted me. I put the candlesticks in my hand down so that I could reach for the mouse.
The candlesticks. I wasn't looking for any thing... I was putting away. I picked up the candlestics and walked back towards the dining room.
"Next time," I told my feet, "I'll ask the hands why you brought me here"
