Household Hint for (or is it From) The Warped Mind

A habit I developed some time ago has helped me get through the moving process. Whenever I need to put away papers or miscellaneous bric-a-brac, I lay the objects down on my newly made bed in the morning. Usually I can get them into their more permanent homes by bedtime that way. Having to move them somewhere else to go to bed is quite motivating.

Today I had four stacks of papers on the bed and got them all put away except the ones I have to make folders for, just the last few. Once again, I found the instructions for preparation for the medical tests I’m taking the middle of the month. I’ve lost them three times now. I have them next to the kitchen phone. I’m putting that information in here so I can look it up if necessary.

The swim this evening was wonderful and the spa rid my left calf of a painful muscle spasm. The jets weren’t working, but the water was hot.

Al called from Oklahoma today. He complained the people down South don’t talk slowly any more either. He hasn’t run across a drawl yet. Those who are bi-lingual in Spanish and English talk even faster than the rest. He expects to be in Texas by tomorrow, but maybe not at his final destination.
