how many dumb things can you do in one day?

Aug 17, 2023

Be honest… how many things can you do in one day that could’ve had a better result if you’d just used your brain? My personal number for that question is… MANY!

Yesterday started out great!

My first cup of coffee after letting the dogs out at 7:00 AM was relaxing. I RARELY get up that early but the HVAC guy was to be here around 8:15. I was thinking how early mornings ain’t so bad as I took coffee #2 with me to the shower.

That’s when MANY things went bad because I didn’t use my brain. Here are just four examples…

  1. I got in the shower and forgot to turn on the fan. The smoke alarm blared for 15 minutes scaring the dogs and almost making my ears bleed. It was still going off when the AC guy arrived 35 minutes early. I knew better.
  2. I went car shopping with my favorite son, Ben. I’m an ugly car shopper and he’s learned from the best. There were not any cars to test drive even though websites listed them as available. He put a deposit on a new car he’s never seen or driven, and must wait who knows how long to get it. I thought we’d kill each other before we got home. I knew better!
  3. Knowing weigh in was scheduled for today, I ate a huge portion of spaghetti from Fazolis anyway. When you’re watching carbs, that’s about as bad as it gets. I knew better!
  4. I mowed for 1.5 hours with the push-mower from Hell. You know… the one that started this whole back/leg/hip thing I’m currently fighting. Der! I knew better.

I’m going to use my brain today! Probably. 😉

A new coil for the 2nd AC unit is waiting on a part — that is about the only bad thing that happened that wasn’t my fault. But it’s a new day! And it’s going to be amazing!

Now you know: Key West had a fire chief named Bum Farto that was convicted of drug trafficking and disappeared before his sentencing, never to be seen again.
