Stupid Things...

Have you ever walked into a room in your home and thought, 'Why am I in here? What did I want?'

Going upstairs to get something and forgetting what it was halfway up the stairs.

I have, on occasion, walked into a room in my house and ask why I'm in there, and/or what do I want.

I occasionally ask the annoying, chatty person I see how his/her weekend went. Sometimes I regret it, sometimes I don't.

I live in an apartment building, so when someone occasionally knocks on my door, I sometimes wonder what I've done wrong and if it's bad news.

I do dumb things all the time. One time, I poured water into my bowl of cereal instead of milk. I was not happy when I took a bite out of it....

I'm going to be writing 2018 on all documents for the next several weeks...I screw up the year EVERY January!

Not to brag, but I just went into another room and actually remembered why I went in there.

It was the bathroom, but still....🙄

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve jumped up to go to the door just to find out the doorbell was from the TV.🙇‍♀️ There’s an ad which has the same doorbell sound as mine.

I also hurt myself in stupid ways. The other night I awoke for a potty run and found out it pays to fully open the eyes....I had mine half open and ran smack dab into the door jamb!

When I visited my friend in Florida this year....another potty run was needed. I had forgot to turn on the night light which makes it difficult to see at night in her house. She lives away from any exterior lighting and with the window shutters closed it’s as black as the ace of spades. You guessed it! I got disoriented and ran right into the closet doors! Turned around and ran into the chest of drawers, then the bed followed by almost knocking over her lamp before finding the bedroom door! I never forgot to turn on that damn night light again!

I don’t know if I’d call much on your list really stupid, just typical, silly mistakes we all make.

‘How was your weekend?’

Here’s a fun little game you can play; Someone asks how you’re doing or how your weekend went; start your response with "Wellll(really draw this word out, freight it with dire portents of stultifyingly long-winded dissertations. Even the toughest will begin to cringe by the one-second mark)lll, OK. How ‘bout you?” This can derail some folks a bit. The ‘facial expression change rate’ can be pretty entertaining. Then, there’s “How you doin’?”:

I’ve been aware of how ‘pervious’ my body is since my early teens; that hasn’t stopped me from injuring myself more than a few times. Only bathroom incident involved foolishly leaving a tube of metal polish in unfortunate proximity to dental hygiene products. “Dafuq? Ptui! Gahhhh!”

On especially bleary-eyed mornings, I had a bad habit of putting shaving gel on my toothbrush. Yuck.

So now I have a beard. Problem solved!
