I always sucked at math

Jan 24, 2022

In early January, Fauci recommended Americans count COVID hospitalizations rather than infections. Makes sense… right? But when you consider the number of Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 has risen about 85% since mid-November? I dunno.

Maybe count how many people are off from work instead of counting infections or hospitalizations. Or maybe count how many kids can’t attend school. Or Cheerios in a box. I always sucked at math. I don’t like numbers. Any problem with numbers that requires brain power, I just pass right on by it.

Something else I ignore (and I hate to admit this, but it’s true), are the places in my house that no one sees. You come to my home anytime at all and it will look neat/clean. But I’m telling you… do NOT open a closet door or you might die. That also goes for cabinets.

I should probably have visitors sign a waiver.

cabinet is full

I’ve never counted how many coffee cups I have, but above is only one cabinet with them in it. Same with glass bowls and pots. I will never, ever use them all. The girl that lived in a house with few cabinets for 30-years, I have probably 3 or 4 times that many now and they are ALL crammed full.

So full that the shelf pegs are breaking. Yes, seriously.

On this fine Monday, not only am I going to do regular work, but I’m starting one cabinet at a time (and one dishwasher load at a time) to rearrange, throw away old stuff, and put in new shelf pegs.

I won’t be counting anything but the money I’ll save by not having injuries. 😉

TIL (Today I Learned): Fart spray was originally designed for use in pranks but is now more widely used in combat-zone medical training. (I had to read the article because I wondered how that could be true. If you’re interested in how Liquid Ass spray is used, check out this article on ‘The Science Explorer.’)
