I've been busy today, and been doing a lot of things all the time. How do I know this?


I make a cup of hot water. I put a tea bag inside. I walk away and let it steep. I get engrossed in an activity. I come back. The tea is super cold.

I make another cup of hot water. I put a tea bag inside. I walk away and let it steep. Something else catches my attention. I realize my tea is on the counter. I go to check on my tea.
It is super cold.

I make another cup of hot water. Something catches my attention. I walk away, knowing my tea is still there.
I forget.
I walk back to the microwave, remembering my hot water is still in there,
and it's super cold.

I make another cup of hot water. I put a tea bag inside. I stand there, staring at it. I focus my eyes on its bubbles and examine the darkness of the hot water and tea bag. The phone rings. I keep my eyes on the cup of tea. I answer it. I talk. I hang up. I sip my tea.


It's super cold.
