Care for a cuppa?

Lately, I've been putting the kettle on to boil without checking to see if there was enough water in it. (I've done it twice today alone!) When I pour, there's only about an eighth of a cup, so I have to reboil the kettle with sufficient water in it, and then when I pour, the handle is too hot to hold bare-handed... You'd think I'd know better by now. So, what are you forgetting to do lately?

I often forget to go to bed!!! How you might ask??? It's not hard!!! I'm sitting here typing or waiting for the local news to come on because they are going to tell me a secret that I just can't live without hearing. Next thing I know, I'm waking up with my head on my keyboard or my body contorted into some strange form as I fell asleep where I was sitting. I feel much like a young child that won't go to bed even though their eyes are closing every 15 seconds or so. I promise myself that I'll go straight to bed just as soon as the news goes off, but I never make it that far!!! I usually remember seeing the regular newscasters come on teasing me with the coming stories & the next thing I know I'm seeing the reporters on the early morning news. Frustrating...VERY frustrating!!!!

Don't you just love going to an online news site and they don't provide pictures of what they're talking about? Or maybe they show a picture of someone, but not the part of the story that's really piqued your interest, like whatever they found...

Sometimes I get lucky & they tell it again the next morning!!! That's another reason I go to their website so often....just to find the answers!!!!

I started some soup for Maggiepie a few weeks ago, happily it was on less than a minute before I noticed I had forgotten to put the soup mix IN the water!

Personally for me I do not think I have ever done anything like that as I usually remember to check before ever boiling, but there are other things I forget from time to time which can be just as annoying for sure. Take the other day for example. There is a special Orca Card which the bus systems, etc around here use that you can load and be able to ride the Buses, etc. for a lower fare. I ended up getting to my Bus the other day ready to get on and then realized since I changed coats due to warmer weather, had left my Orca card at home, so had to call my husband and he had to help bail me out so I could get to work. It was something I hope I do not have to do that often.

You can be excused for forgetting, with that mega-migraine you've had.

I'm forgetting so much lately that I forget what I've forgotten. You post reminded me that I forgot to do something in the kitchen so I've taken care of that. I've tried to make a list daily to remind me to tend to different things and then I forget to check the list. Old age does have its drawbacks.

Actually this reminds me one of the main things that I do and that is putting the drink mix in the cup then not putting any water in it. I start to think "what am I doing?" So annoying but I do it almost every time these days.

Every time I go to the grocery, there is always some little item I forget to buy. Never anything huge but something stupid like I bought a pasta salad kit and no mayo to make it, so it sits for a week until I go back to the store

Been there, done that... It's particularly bad when you go specifically to get whatever it is you forgot.
