not again!!

I think we are hopeless 

    Moving stuff around today, I took a tray full of Christmas mugs and carried it into the kitchen from the dining room.

    I got sidetracked.  A little while later I went to put them away and I could not find them!

    Yes, the tray was there.  It was empty.  So was the shelf.  And the cupboard.  And the counter.

    I could not believe I had lost 9 or 10 mugs!  I looked and looked but could not find them.

    I abandoned the search, figuring hey would show up in some weird spot.

    I unpacked a laundry basket full of plates and .... cups were at the bottom.

    I NEVER PUT THEM ON THE TRAY!!!

    How in the hell I thought I did baffles me.

    A few minutes later Jackie said to me, "When is my infusion appointment?"

    I said, "1 today."

    It was already 2:15....we missed it by an hour.

    Understand, we received daily reminders.  We wrote it on the calendar.  We talked about it every day this week.

    And we forgot it.

    She called the local hospital and they laughed and said come in.

    So we went and she had her infusion  to strengthen her bones.

    I was going to DeKalb to pick up supper.  Yes, I drove there for supper.  Why?

    Because Yen Chin is a great Chinese restaurant and Julia wanted that for her birthday supper.

    I figured to stop and Target and ask about the gift cards I did not get the other day.

    After talking to a clerk and then a manager, it was decided the only way I could get the cards was to return the items I bought and purchase them again.  

    So I guess I am out the gift cards because I don't want to go home, reload the car. drove back, return the items, buy the items, load the car, drive home, and unload the car.

    I guess it's a lesson learned for me to be sure how to use a discount program.

    Dinner was great, we had some champagne to celebrate, and now I am tired and ready to go to bed. 

    But I know I won't.  I just hope I don't mess around too long.

Peace and Love
