There is a gremlin in my computer and I keep losing things I have typed. First an Alien and then a Gremlin, time to call Ghost Busters! This all fits in with the comedy of errors happening to me.
- You know that I listen to my tv through blue-tooth headphones. I have more trouble hearing in rooms with hard floors, not carpet, or high ceilings. Since I prefer hardwood floors this has been a real conundrum. I do have carpet now but have continued to use my headphones to protect my neighbors from loud tv. So when I set off to do chores the other day I still had my headphones on. I got in my car. Drove around to the laundry. I started loading my clothes in the washer and the headphones feel off on the floor when I bent over. Luckily there was no one else in the laundry to see this. I had also taken a bag of garbage to the container earlier that morning. I can't don't know if I had them on then also.
- No, that is not the only dumb move. When I backed out of the non-parking place I had pulled in to by the laundry, I thought I was ever so clever being able to pull in and then back my little Honda out between two telephone/utility poles. When I walked back to my car after my last errand I saw scratched paint and then a long line of yellow paint on my bumper. The pole I thought I had cleverly out-maneuvered was the winner in that little test. My car is a 2006 and looks like it has been rode hard and put up wet, as we say in Texas, so a little yellow didn't really ruin it, but it hurt my feelings anyway.
- I ordered my new glasses this week. I wasn't particularly impressed with Warby Parker because I am used to the practice of having all these measurements taken when the order is placed. They do not do that whole process there and I asked why. Why did I even ask why when I knew it felt wrong and I was not going to be satisfied with the answer? Then I remembered buying some glasses at Costco and they also did not perform the whole process and yet I was pleased with their glasses. So, I placed my order based on their happiness guarantee. We'll see. I am not afraid of going back. Hopefully, it will not be counted as one of those dumb things.
- I buy most of my bread from the Bread Store that is near my house. I forget which brand it is but I think Sunbeam. The shelves were low on stock and my eyes wandered to the next shelf with Nature's Own bread. With carb count in mind, I found that one variety had a few carbs less than the white bread I had been buying (I know. I know.) So I picked up a loaf of Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat with 2x the fiber. See where I am going? I do like the taste of the bread but I did not realize what 2x the fiber would do to my digestion. Let's just say I'm pretty clean these days.
I'll end here before all of the above disappears .....
