My example:

Así es la mañana de una persona muy liada: Hacer yoga, tomar café, planear el día, ¡y todo al mismo tiempo!

Busy person's morning: Yoga, coffee, and planning out the day's agenda, all at the same time!

This is not difficult...of course, the hard part is the surgery to have your spine removed.

"Hoy día me cuesta determinar cuál es cuál por despistada, incluso me regañó mi madre alguna vez por ponerme los zapatos en las manos."

"I'm such a scatterbrain that nowadays I find it hard to tell which is which, and my mom even scolded me once for wearing shoes on my hands."
