How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

I need my head examined. I swear I do. I went into Dollar Tree to pick up some Christmas money holders and on the way out, my purse flopped open and my wallet fell out....so did about everything in my wallet.

I gathered everything up and headed out the car. As soon as I got in, I started putting everything in my wallet as the Spousal Equivalent drove off. Immediately, my charge card flipped out of my hand and went down between the seats. I couldn't reach it and said, "Please remind me to reach from behind when we get home and get that card."

We get two minutes down the road and I exclaim, "I don't have my charge card! I must have lost it back at the store!" So we turned around and I went back into the store. The minute I walked through the door, I remembered that I had dropped it between the seats.

I stomp back to the card and snarl, "I TOLD you I dropped it between the seats and you were supposed to remind me to look for it." He looked at me with that deer-in-the-headlights look. I think we BOTH need our heads examined.

Actually, he DID get a Cat Scan of his head last week (yes, there IS a brain there) and I'm getting one in January (the jury is still out on that one....).

Am I just getting old or am I losing my marbles?

I've done very similar things too.... and worried the same thing... I've come to realise that we just have too much crammed into our heads.. brains weren't meant to store over 70 years worth of stuff.... so things drop off the edge like a conveyor belt...lol

As for me walking outside, the only time I won't go is if the temp is -10 below or if the winds are 30mph esp in winter. I get stir crazy if I can't go outside even for a minute Sue
 
Been very busy today... Dad has been having issues with passing out randomly. He has COPD, is 85 but always busy. "Hen on a hot rock" syndrome. He did it twice yesterday, once in the grocery and once walking up to the house door. I had just seen him walk past the window, but didn't come in. I looked out and he was face down on the porch!

After we got him up he looked more disoriented than usual after one of those episodes, they do happen somewhat often. So we got him to the hospital (that was fun...) they decided he had a form of pneumonia causing him to go short of oxygen. They admitted him for observation, me and mom got back. I didn't sleep well and then when mom went to the hospital today, I had a long list of chores for me and my daughter. About caught up I think. Hoping they got him on the right path now.
