Multi-Tasking? Not Her!

TC here.  MsShad gave permission to post this one. 

On many occasions, MsShad has said that she just cannot multi-task anymore (cause of the MS).  She needs to work on improving that particular skill. 

First thing, she came into the office so we could go shopping in the same car.

Shad:  Where's the bathroom?

Me:  (looking at her funny, she's been here before) Umm.  Out the door, and across the hall.

Shad:  (Walking towards the door, pauses)

Me:  (Looking at her strangely again.)

Shad:  (pats her, umm, parts)  No, I didn't pee my pants.  I thought I did. 

Me:  (laughs and watches her come back in and sit down next to me. )  Ummm...

Shad:  What?

Me:  Why don't you go to the bathroom so you DON'T pee your pants?

Shad:  Oh. Okay.  (leaves)

THEN:  Yesterday, after going from $1.00 store to $1.00 store looking for storage alternatives for my closet (that she is going to reorganize for me for my Christmas present), we stopped to get some food from a fast food place.  We got the meal ready and then I put the car in gear and started driving.  We were headed for another store.  I was eating.   Taking too big of bites,  hurrying.  Started choking, sort of.  Not really choking because I could still breathe, but I couldn't get the food all the way down and it HURT!  It was stuck!!! 

Me:  (sloppy burp) (sloppy burp) (sloppy burp) (burp)

Shad:  Are you okay?

Me:  (Nodding?  Shaking head?  (Don't remember)) (Sloppy burp, burp, etc.)

Shad:  Are you breathing?  (she's still blissfully eating and drinking her meal)

Me:  (Nodded) (Sloppy burp, burp, sloppy burp, you get the picture and it was UGLY!)

Shad:  It's like...your mouth is farting.

Me:  (Not amused)

I finally get a chance to pull over and I opened the door to throw up.  I got out, and the car was not in park so it started to roll forward.  I looked at MsShad, she was staring at the foot pedals, holding her burger, with a look of panic on her face.  I held my vomit, got back in and put it in park.  Got out and finished my business.  Yuck. 

Shad:  Here's some napkins.

Me:  Thanks.

Shad:  Are you okay?

Me:  Yup.  Just peachy.

Shad:  Do you want me to drive?

Me:  Nope, doing fine.

Shad:  I couldn't do anything with the car.

Me:  I noticed.

Shad:  I had a burger in my hand.  I couldn't do anything.

Me:  I noticed.

Shad:  I can't multitask.  I didn't know what to do.  I couldn't do anything.

Me:  Yup.

Shad:  See, I REALLY CAN'T multi-task!  I'm not kidding.  I really couldn't figure out how to DROP the hamburger out of my hands so I could DO something!

Me:  I could tell.

On the up side, we got some really cool storage stuff for a small amount of money.  Now she can go to my house and redo my closet.  I hope she doesn't get side tracked and try to multi-task.  God knows what will happen to my closet.  Luckily, the bathroom is just right there, too.  In case she needs it.  I may have to call to remind her, tho. 

And I'll have to hide my grahm crackers, cause she's addicted to them.  It's my fault.  She says I'm enabling her.
