Or, Early (?) Oldtimers’ Disease Part X
So, I had been walking around looking for a (normail format paperback) book for maybe half an hour. I knew I’d had it in my hands earlier but had no idea where I had put it down.
Took a break. Sharpened a machete and cut down a volunteer elm that had sprung up, hidden within my (good) neighbor’s hedge (which I have kept trimmed for her for the past eleven years, cos it’s an older lady who just doesn’t have that in her yard care repertoire). Back inside, looked for the book some more.
Found it in my hip pocket.
Not enough coffee today. Nope. Not enough at all, at all.
Ha ha ha ha ha, make some coffee for me too, will you?
It’s these little acts of – er – “forgetfulness” that make aging all the more fun.
It’s even worse when you’re only on the cusp of your mid-40s (such as I am).
“Now, where is that doggone cell phone?”
“Uh, the one clipped to yer shorts?!?” 😆
Yeh, Lisa, feel free to drop on by twc-land for a cuppa joe.
TMH, *sigh* if the book had been in my shorts… I’d probably not have been wielding a machete outside. *heh*
Update: I JUST had another senior-at-42 moment: was looking around in the fridge for the cucumber, asked dear wife: “Don’t we have a cucumber? Sure thought we did…” Shrugged, closed the fridge door, turned around to place on the counter the cucumber I had in my hand.
Make what you will of this. I’d only had half a beer, too.
LOL @ MaryHunter’s cucumber. I have been guilty of looking everywhere for my cell phone, while talking on it, at the ripe old age of 23 ;). Must be the mommy brain.
Oh..why did I stop here?..Who’s site is this anyway?..lolz

Heyallllllllllllp! lol 🙂
Ha ha ha, c’mon over to my house, there are ducks aplenty!
Given the subject matter of this post, I’m gonna assume the off-topic trackbacks are meta-commentary (the Open Post is below, so I assume some other folks are also coffee-deprived :-)).
Rain, rain…
“Rubber Ducky, you’re the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Ducky, I’m awfully fond of you;
(woh woh, bee doh!)
Rubber Ducky, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Ducky, you’re my very best friend, it’s true!
(doo doo doo doooo, doo doo)
CHORUS: Every day when I
Make my to the tubby
I find a little fella who’s
Cute and yellow and chubby
(rub-a-dub-a-dubby!)
Rubber Ducky, you’re so fine
And I’m lucky that you’re mine
Rubber ducky, I’m awfully fond of you.
(repeat chorus)
Rubber Ducky, you’re so fine
And I’m lucky that you’re mine
Rubber ducky, I’m awfully fond of –
Rubber ducky, I’d like a whole pond of –
Rubber ducky I’m awfully fond of you!
(doo doo, be doo.)”
Is that like looking for your car keys and you find out you left them in the ignition? Close enough I’d say.
Ha ha ha David, you can come over and sing that endlessly to my little guy….
