Gloria’s Green: Walk Your Way Through the Summer In Innovative Eco-Flip Flops

My Last 3 InventorSpot Entries

By now I should have posted 5 entries, but I took a week off to get my mind refocused. Sometimes this happens. You will notice by my last entry the start of it all.

I sit at the computer ready to type away only to find myself irritated that I can’t order my thoughts and before I know it a 300 word entry which usually takes me an hour or two to write takes me all night to write instead, if I’m lucky. Some times I just can’t make sense of the words no matter how hard I try and I have no choice, but to save what I have and then shut down the computer hoping to try the next day.  Could this mind struggle be what is called a “brainfart”?
