A wandering mind seems to be a simple thing, and it usually is, but it can be a very complex trip. You can't just let your mind wander off in a willy nilly way. Oh no, you must
always be in control of your mind wandering ways.
For example, if you are in the office sitting at your desk, and your mind wanders off in the direction of the good-looking new guy, that's OK for a 5 to 10 minute wander. However, if your mind wanders off too long in a office meeting, you could find yourself being appointed as the designated driver for the next office happy hour.
Since I don't drink, staying sober wouldn't be any hardship for me. The thing that would be difficult for me,
since I don't drink, is to find myself behind the wheel driving a car load of drunks home.
I get lost easily and I need someone sober enough to give me directions.
