Sometimes your brain just goes lala. You might be talking to someone, executing a task, or just staring at a wall in your bedroom, and then suddenly it has been minutes and you don’t know what you’re doing. You just forgot to be a person for a little bit of time. 

Or maybe you were checking your email and then saw a ladybug on your windowsill and started wondering if all ladybugs are girls and you used to be really into insects when you were a kid and had that bug encyclopedia you’d look at all the time and where did that go it must have gotten lost in the move when your parents downsized and I wonder how mom is doing it has been a minute since I called her and have I paid my phone bill this month and where did that shirt go from the 7th grade?
