Two nights ago, I realized just how short my attention span has become.  I had an episode of Scrubs paused on Netflix, a paused episode of Law and Order:  Criminal Intent on live TV and a 2007 Saturday Night Live episode paused on Tivo.  Not only did I have three episodes from three different shows paused, these were episodes I’ve already watched, seemingly hundreds of times.  The kicker is that I was terribly disappointed because I couldn’t also have a game of Super Mario Bros. paused because I was using Netflix through our Wii.  Why do I need at least three (preferably four) different distractions?  I would like to blame it on my sleep medication (I take several different meds at bedtime to help with my severe chronic insomnia).  You know, “I Ambien-dialed you” or “The email I wrote last night was after I took Ambien.”  I do take Ambien, but I don’t think I can blame my shorter attention span on it.  I do not know who or what to blame – I think it might just be, well, because of ME.  Thank goodness I see a therapist:+)
