Facile Friday - Forgetful

I seem to have forgotten to do something, but I can't  remember what it was.

As found at Thesaurus.com

I am certainly not absent, as I am currently here, now absent-minded is a very good possibility but air-headed?  NO WAY!  Not air-headed.  If I had used a mnemonic I probably wouldn't have forgotten what I forgot in the first place.  As far as I recall I am not amnesic.  I must admit to being asleep on the job, as well as being a bit bemused and maybe careless.  Distracted yes, dreamy absolutely, heedless never, inattentive occasionally, lax nope.

Now I would like to discuss the word mooning.  What the heck is that doing in this list?  Isn't that when someone bares their unclothed buttocks?  My mooning can't have anything to do with why I seem to have forgotten something.  It could, however, explain why YOU forgot something.

Some of these other words are a bit odd too.  Nirvanic?  Woolgathering?  Nirvanic is pertaining to nirvana or heavenly. OK?  Is that like having your head in the clouds?  I am thinking that maybe I was woolgathering and that is why I forgot.  I thought that it referred to participating in hard, sweaty, backbreaking work that became a distraction but it is actually to indulge in fantasy.  Oh.  I guess that you may have to resort to that type of indulgence while wandering through thickets and brambles to gather small bits of wool that were pulled from sheep as they moved through the underbrush.

Now I remember what I forgot!!  I forgot to write my Facile Friday!  I was just a little nirvanic, sorry.
