Go Figure!

Get comfortable in a favorite chair, book in hand, cat in lap…and the phone rings from the adjoining room.

Decide to use cash instead of card, come up one dollar or one dime short. Use card. Get back into car and see one dollar in cupholder or one dime on the floormat.

Be almost asleep with pillow fluffed perfectly, covers and temperature just right, cat happy with his spot when brain flashes message…forgot to take blood pressure med.

Buy assorted flavors of Chapstick to have multiple tubes for purse/coat/car. All get misplaced except the one liked least. When other tubes are found, they are all in the same coat pocket.

Clear stuff from car to vacuum. Forget to put umbrella back in. First outing, downpour happens.

Texts habitually interrupt 20-minute power naps. Change nap schedule. Doze off. Receive text.

Some days a bed head self looks better than the fixed-up self.

Out of an ingredient for a favorite recipe. Make do and discover the modification is better.

The only local grocery has been out of canned biscuits for weeks.

Figure out the craving after filling up on stuff that didn’t satisfy.

Watch a new series that is the greatest…then discover no episodes beyond season one. How is a season defined these days with so many networks? How long till season two?

Throw away several single socks. Two days later, find missing matches.

Receive car back after extended service time. First outing, a blinker quits.

Lose a favorite pair of jeans. Months later find them on a hanger under a long skirt. Closets are overrated.

Boomers’ grandmas made desserts with magnificent meringues - in taste and appearance - without using blow torches in the kitchen.

I had some more examples. I will remember them after I submit this column.
