There I was, just getting ready for bed and doing all the
usual stuff. One of the usuals is to scrub
my partial plate. I take those two teeth
out, scrub them till they sparkles, and when I am done with everything, I pop
it back in….zap.
Last night there was no partial. Where could it be? I looked everywhere. G looked everywhere which included the car
and truck and driveway and everywhere I had looked too. I had decided on the passive method of
searching and pulled out my backup partial.
G began to search anew. Oh, these
were unhappy moments in the Geezer household.
As I walked toward my side of the bed, I saw something
seemingly, lumpily out of place on the nightstand. There they were.
“I found them,” I called down into the dark of the
driveway. I followed that with, “I’m
loosing it. Really losing it.” For I’d not put them in from the night
before.
I’m hoping that you too have had moments like these.
- Himself: Fed cats. “Had subrogation work to do….and lunch, and laundry…oh, such a busy, busy day.”
- Herself: Talked with Bee. She’s argumentative again. Having a dying husband and a dying mother at the same time will do that with one. Planned menus, grocery shopped, shouldda done more housekeeping, and read in bed.
- Reading: Fodor’s Washington DC. Fascinating. We will never get to do a fraction of the things listed.
- Balance: Dinner by the bay.
I once picked my mobile phone up and popped it into a dish full of soapy water. I was shocked when I saw it flashing up at me.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine how many extra pairs of glasses I keep around the house, because I am so prone to losing them? Not my teeth, though; one look in the mirror will show me the wicked witch of the northeast!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo funny!
ReplyDeletePacked for a trip and on arrival found I'd packed the handheld for my housephone.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I don't seem to have that problem. I rarely misplace things. But my elder daughter tends to be absent minded and forgets where she put things, like her cell phone.
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about the phrase "absent minded" - but now I find from time to time I am living the literal.
ReplyDeleteLike just now when I poured lemonade on my cereal.
ReplyDeleteOh, you all inspire me.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting to the point where I have to make a mental note when I take my glasses off because I can't see them to put them back on otherwise. I try to remember to put them in the same place every time.....same with my cell phone...
ReplyDeleteI keep my am and pm in one of those weekly med planners. I dump the morning or evening pills into a small plastic bowl then take them with a sip of ater. Twice noew, I have dumped them into yhe cup of water instead of the little bowl. ARGGGGGGHHHHH!
