Goldfish memory...

So yes I just finished my dissertation and did my defense.  Yes that chunk is over with yet I'm still doing experiments.  However, I can't remember someone telling me that they are coming over to the lab more than a minute from when they called.  I keep forgetting where things are supposed to go or what I am supposed to be doing.  I am distracted more than I have ever been.  What is wrong with me???!!!  Wasn't there some magically cloud to be bestowed upon me after my defense?  I mean they didn't even teach me the secret handshake :)  I guess I am just super distracted with everything that is going on.  I mean the living situation is getting more than a little overwhelming.  We sold our bedroom furniture last night leaving us our bed frame and mattresses.  The cardboard boxes with our clothes from the drawers is a little off putting.  The housing crisis and then the trying to figure out what is going on with the whole capillary electrophoresis stuff...ARGH!  So maybe my goldfish memory is just a part of that or my brain is going through a massive dump.  Maybe if I walk around with my fingers in my ears I can hold what is in there but I have a feeling people will look at me pretty funny walking around work with my fingers in my ears especially if I talk to myself in the process.  Maybe my decent memory will return after we move to Texas or maybe California or at least I can hope so.
