scattered

free enneagram test

i took the personality test (the free one) on susy's blog and found that i am type 7, the enthusiast. i guess it describes me pretty well, busy, fun-loving, spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive (not this one) and SCATTERED. now i know that's me.

i'm selling my house to move to costa rica and had a couple of realtors coming over to the house this morning to take a look and get the listing. i knew i had to tidy the house before they got here. it had been suggested that i put away items of a personal nature so when prospective buyers came to look at the house they could more easily envision it with their personal belongings. so with that in mind i decided to put family pictures away. first i needed newspaper to wrap the pictures in so i laid that out on the counter. as i was flipping the pages i saw an article on a fabric sale which made me think i had to email a friend to tell them of the sale. when i came to the computer another friend was on messenger so i started talking to her. i forgot to email the first friend about the fabric sale, i didn't get the pictures wrapped in newspaper, and i didn't finish reading the paper. by the time the realtors got here i had started several things but had finished none. when i went for physio i told a friend about my personality type. she laughed and said that she didn't need a quiz to tell her i was scattered. when i was in costa rica in march my nickname was where's waldo. it seems they're always wondering where i am. i don't know why. when the pastor sent a letter to each team member going to cr she said 'look after each other....(don't lose teri)' i go somewhere to get something and forget what i went for & have to retrace my steps hoping to remember. i make a list of things to do or buy and forget where i put the list or to take it with me. i sometimes have a problem with punctuality. i leave my house a lot of times only to return because i have forgotten something i needed. i don't know how i lasted 26 years in the same job, except that as one friend put it - i could spell well.
