You start to walk to the kitchen to get a drink - but pass the living room where someone has left the TV on - so you go to turn it off but an interesting cat commercial comes on so you stand there to watch it - and it reminds you that you need to clean out the kitty litter box - so you go to do that - but pass the laundry room and remember that you need to transfer the clothes from the washer to the dryer - so you stop to do that and have to unload the dryer to make room for the new batch of wet clothes - which you put in the dryer but forget to turn it on. By this time 20 minutes have passed - you cannot figure out WHY you're so thirsty - the cat is still patiently waiting by the litter box and a huge pile of clothes waiting to be folded and put away have appeared on the couch.

And I wonder why I'm so exhausted sometimes!?
