The Horse's Sunday: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

The Good was that I got some progress notes done, did my laundry, and had time to swim. The Bad was was, because the dryer now takes credit cards, I put my wallet in the back pocket of my new LL Bean swimsuit, rather than a bunch of quarters, as I would have in the past. The Ugly is what the stuff in my wallet looked like after a couple of laps, when I realized that the wallet was in my back pocket. I put everything in the sun by the pool to dry: the wallet itself, a $130 check from our 4th of July gig, $120 in cash, ruined business cards, etc. Then I put the same on my stove and turned the oven on for a few minutes, before turning it off and heading to a friend's house to dinner. Have you ever done anything similarly stupid?

Was it in the pool? Or in the wash? I've washed one of my red grading pens. Lost a lot of nice t-shirts with that load.

No, because I always bring a handbag with me I suppose this is a men thing.

@TheHorse I did nothing similar that I can remember. I always check the pockets before washing the shirts and pants of my husband, he is the one who forgets things in his pockets.

The wallet in the hip pocket would be. But you must be able to think of something similarly inane that you've done!

@TheHorse .. See...you knew it..before even I told you... Recent..just last week. We soak lentils overnight. Friday night I was to soak lentils for making breakfast the following morning (pancakes from ground lentils). I took out the right measure of lentils in the bowl, and forgot to pour water in it. Lucky Friday was my birthday so dad did not shout at me on Saturday. Sometime ago, I forgot, and he almost came to hit me..my maid is a witness to that. I forgot to do my laundry today. Today was my laundry day. I sometimes forget whether I have added salt in food, and add once more. I lost my ration card almost 35 odd years ago. I forgot where I placed it, and it is still lost and not found. I wore one chappal on one foot, from one pair, and another chappal from another footwear and went to office and was at office the whole day and only realized how smart I am late in the evening. You can't beat me Pony ji. I am the best in this field.

It happens. Sometimes, I soak my money in soap water with clothes. I forget to check my pockets.

I usually remember to check pockets when I do laundry. But I've messed up a few times.

In the 80's, Colorado used cheap drivers licenses. I can't tell you how many times I had to replace mine because I washed one.
