And I've learned a few things:
A bathroom hand towel is just the right size to mop up the contents of a 12 oz glass of water.
Mascara works best before being dropped in a wet sink.
A reuben sandwich should not contain red onion - and who was the brainiac who thought it was a good idea to add them? (I have a hate/hate relationship with onions, the same onions that seem to be The Great American Food Extender.)
It's better to see paramedics wheeling an empty gurney out than one filled with an ailing soul.
60 year old arms (you know, those wings above the elbow) look best in elbow length sleeves. Just saying....
Chocolate tastes best when consumed: anytime!
"Just a short bike ride" doesn't always mean what it sounds like. (Sort of like "nothing's wrong.")
A 6th grade play is best heard without the person next to you practicing their open-mouth-chomping-gum-chewing-skills.
The gas stove-top is not supposed to be "clicking" all the time (the electronic ignitor is going crazy! Thanks My Love for the (so far) apparent fix).
Shelves to go behind the doors at the bottom of the new built-in shelves should be measured 3 times and then cut: the shelf in the center is too narrow to fit on the pins. The carpenter is on schedule for a do-over.
Gerbera daisies bought to give should be checked every day until given so as to remain properly hydrated. Should have given them before they became limp, face-down unhappy un-daisies.
Missionary letters are not always short missives. Some missionaries have learned to type as quickly as they chatter. Makes for long-time-sitting at the computer reading for the recipients. So happy to be one of the designated recipients.
Only 7 1/2 hours and it will be Tuesday and I'll get to learn a whole set of new things. Looking forward to it. (I think.)
