What is wrong with me?
Don't everyone answer at once. But I do have a mental problem.
When graduation time came, I bought graduation cards for various people.
I sort of read the cards before I bought them. But not carefully, because one of them was a bat mitzvah card. So I crossed out bat mitzvah and wrote in graduation and gave it to one of my relatives.
I did not hear if they thought it was funny or not.
I went to the store last Friday for a wedding card and 2 sympathy cards.
I am funny with sympathy cards. I hate the ones that rhyme. I avoid them like a relative seeking money. I look for cards that convey a sentiment. A message. Some solace in a time of distress.
I also won't buy cards not made in the USA.
So sometimes my choices are limited.
But, I got 2 sympathy cards and 1 wedding card, all with appropriate messages and made in the USA.
Saturday morning I give the wdding card to Jackie, she signs our names, addresses the envelope and seals it. We put it in the card box at the reception.
Today I go to mail the two sympathy cards and ..... I only have 1 plus a wedding card.
Yes, we gave the bride and groom a lovely sympathy card.
Jackie blames me, because I gave her the card. I blame her because she signed it and should have read it.
I just hope the bride and groom have a good sense of humor. I know we laughed for 10 minutes when I realized what we did.
The lesson for me is to check all cards before mailing, read all cards before buying them, and stop being such a schmuck.
I could blame it on my lack of sleep. I have not been sleeping well, and today was a horrible example. I did not do a thing. I am so tired, so, so tired. I go to bed but can't go to sleep.
This has been going on for 4 or 5 nights, and it is getting to me. Hopefully the sleep fairy will visit me tonight.
Peace and Love
