What a great topic.
It makes me want to go off and think about thinking, but right now, I am in my no-thinking phase, so I can just make it through another day. I have about 6 more weeks of this no-thinking stage, but once in a while, thoughts do enter, then they get too deep, and I tell them so.

The problem is thoughts do not like to follow the rules and are sneaky and think while you think you are safe. Then BAM! You are in the shower, and all the thinking pours out into your head, and you are left with a brain full of thoughts that are way too good to not think about.

So I let them know that now is not the time or place and they will have to wait 6 more weeks before I can think those thoughts and give them the needed time. When they try and complain, I just explain that we are in survival mode, and only the thoughts that let us make it through another day sane are welcome.

This usually works.
For Now.

Not really holding out hope for the full 6 weeks, but we will see. One broken foot is the least of my thinking problems for now. Broken heals.

Oh, women, not all but a lot, do not think it bullet points. Why, when trying to explain thoughts to men, never go well. But if all else fails, a woman will give the bullet-point version of their thoughts to try and help a man understand. Most of the time, they don't, so after that fact, a man will hear a lot of "never mind" or "nothing" after that. :D

Have a wonderful Friday?
