Another Moment in Caroline's Brain : NEON Yellow Earbud Case

In Today's Episode of "Another Moment inside Caroline's Brain"
we examine how one loses a NEON YELLOW Earbud Case

🎥Scene: Headphones say "Battery Low" while in office
🧠1: Where is your NEON YELLOW skull candy case?

👀: Don't see it sitting out

🧠1:check your purse pocket you always keep it in

👀: Nope

🧠1:Check your work bag even though they don't go there.

🧠2: Its not there you never put it there

🧠1: look anyway

👀: Nope

🧠2: How does this stuff keep happening. I bought a yellow neon case and i'm so careful to always put things back. This is ridiculous. How can I be so stupid. No wonder you aren't good at anything. You're probably going to lose the damn headphones and then you'll find the case.

🧠1: First of all... stop. Just stop. Second, let's go put the headphones in your purse pocket. That's something you can control.

🧠2:grumbles and puts headphones in pocket.

🧠1: OK, now that we're out of our head, lets think systematically
The logical conclusion is that the case is at home.

🧠2: *feels panic creeping in* NOT ANOTHER LOST KEYS IN THE BUSHES INCIDENT.

🧠1: I repeat. The logical conclusion is that the case is at home. You were medicated. You did not lose it. It's neon yellow for a reason.

👀: Looks when gets home. Not there.

🧠2: *panic increases...add dramatic music and lighting* THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE KEY INCIDENT!

🧠1: The next logical conclusion is that it is in the car. You know you had your headphones in after Master's Swim, you showered with them in, with your audiobook on, so you had the case at the pool. Did you sit it down in the car after practice? Maybe its under the seat?

👀: Looks in car. not there. not under the seat. Grateful for a blank interior, as neon stands out.

🧠1: Check your swim bag.

👀: Still not there.

🧠1: It has to be. This is the last place you remember having it.

🧠2:BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS. It's not there! You just looked. You probably sat it down "somewhere safe" and just forgot. Your brain sucks! Your headphones have Tile built in but of course the CASE DOESN'T AND YOU LOSE THE CASE. What else are you sucking at?

🧠1: ........It's ok. You'll find it. You always do..... Let's move on for now....Just use your backup hot pink headphones for now. That's why you have them....

brief pause
.....You know, the case could also be in your swim locker. You can check that on Friday when you go to practice. Heck, that way you actually get up and GO to practice. Maybe you're onto something here.....

🧠2: Not funny, brain.

🧠1: You can probably get a replacement case....Better yet a replacement set, and then you'd have a charged set and a working set!

🧠2: oooh I like that idea *Picks up phone to start googling*

🧠1: But first, lets look one more time in your swim bag. But this time, lets dump it out on the couch

🧠2: *grumbles, sets down phone, feels loss of potential dopamine hit*: This is stupid, I already looked in this bag. It's not here!

*Dumps bag*

Neon Yellow Headphone case spills out

🧠2:*folds invisible arms and pouts to 🧠1* I hate it when you're right.

TLDR: Neon Yellow Headphone cases are invisible when in a bag with neon yellow lining. Self Talk is a bitch. No one has it all together.


and....Time to ADHD hack my case and put a sticker on both sides....

Best headphones in the world except for losing the case.
The headphones themselves come with built in Tiles!

No I don't get paid for this or anything, just passing along.

THE truth, MY truth, and BELIEF

When you look at this picture, what do you see? Let me start out with how awesome this picture is. I'm standing on a roof, with this amazing sky, in my wedding dress, with the love of my life on the day I felt most beautiful.  Ever.  My hair was done professionally, my makeup was done professionally. I spent 4 years losing weight to be a healthy and active body.  My hometown is below us, where I am building a dream career.  My husband thinks my part of the picture looks kind of like a beach, with the surf receding off to the right...especially when the photo is in black in white. I'm holding handmade paper flowers, where some pages are pages from a book. Guys.  I CLIMBED ON A ROOF IN MY WEDDING DRESS.  WILLINGLY. I'm standing in the snow, and I can still feel the cold of the snow on my shoes. I remember the moment thinking of how sure I was in choosing a partner, that I was excited to be married and to build our partnership...and li...

Taking a Break, Comparison

Crossfit was supposed to be by safe space where I go to build myself back up from life's challenges.  Crossfit was supposed to be the place I go to unleash my competitive nature...to give that drive somewhere to live.  Crossfit was supposed to be that thing that gave me the mental challenge I needed to push myself in a safe space. Crossfit was supposed to be the place where I went to try and catch the guys.  Crossfit was supposed to be my HAPPY place...the place that I couldn't wait to get to. Crossfit was supposed to be the place I feel at home. But inconsistency in attending due to outside life crazzzyness (and I mean crazyness) turned that safe, happy spot into a spot of dread. How far under my own PR would I be today? I would try to scale and then I'd still walk out of there with self-defeating talk.  My binge eating yo-yoed like crazy.  I'd go and be so exhausted from adrenal fatigue I couldn't get my brain to work.  I thought about dropping my mem...
