I Was Not Paying Attention

I ran errands and purchased groceries on Friday.  Before I do my weekly shopping, I usually fill the tank of my vehicle with gasoline.  I thought I did that this past Friday.  I ran my credit card, put the hose in the tank, and proceeded to wash the rear window of my vehicle.  Today, I notice that the fuel tank was down. So, I filled it up. Then, I got on line and checked the credit card transactions.  I had a transaction Friday, for gas, that looks like it was cancelled.  So, I thought I spend $15 for gas, but that must have been the purchase before me.  Because when I filled up today, at the same price, my purchase was just over $10.

I felt like I was in a time warp, or some sort of dis-reality.  It was very disorienting. I felt a little dizzy, a little off balance. I just could not reconcile what had happened, until I checked the credit card transactions.  I must have been concentrating so much on cleaning the rear window of my vehicle, that I did not pay attention to pumping gas!  Lesson to self.  Be more mindful when you do daily chores!
