My Latest Senior Moment

[dewilson58]

"Made coffee" this morning...........Forgot the filter and forgot the coffee.

Came out pretty weak.

When you forget the filter, it’s good to forget the coffee. Less mess.

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: That is hilarious. I have done this by forgetting to put the pod in my Keurig. When we were younger it was just stupid now we get to have moments, I love it.

I try to make routines so I don't need to remember doing the mundane.

On my car key fob the bottom button unlocks the car so I remember "bottoms up." Too many times I would get a half block from the car and wonder if I locked it. I always walked back.

My key pops out of the fob when I push a red button like a switchblade. My routine is to lock the car and then push the key in the fob.

So if I'm a half a block away from the car and I touch my pocket and feel the key is out, not folded back in the fob I know I forgot to lock the car and head back. That almost never happens anymore now that I have a routine.

A couple of weeks ago I turned on the coffee making machine, went into the bedroom and heard a strange noise. Went back into the kitchen and realized I forgot to put the cup on the machine and coffee was spilling everywhere.:ohdear:

This morning I made coffee. Remembered the coffee, filter, and water. Forgot the piece that evenly distributes the water into the grounds. Remaking pot now.LOL

And I forgot I’m no longer a teenager and ran out of the library into the pouring rain on Friday. The word “ran” is a clue. My 70 year old body performed an impromptu Double Gainor into the parking lot pavement. I was sprawled in puddles while torrential rain gave my hair a thorough cleansing. I’m now sporting an orthopedic boot for the 4-5 weeks while my broken foot heals

I remember calling my dad from time to time just to catch up. His first sentence was always "Well I got up this morning and made the coffee." I'm 30 years younger. I always wondered why he considered successfully making the coffee everyday was his first accomplishment for the day. This was a man who built our house from the ground up, rebuilt car engines, studied and got an electricians license at 45 and ran that business .......

Now I know why.

Without coffee there is...nothing

That took a long time for me to sink in.

Ouch, that was a painful mistake a lot worse than a ruined pot of coffee. Hope you feel better soon.

I feel bad for you. Aside from the pain, it must be truly inconvenient for you. Four days ago, I was walking my dog and tripped over nothing (husband is always telling me to pick up my feet). Fell down right in front of a man and woman. Not young enough anymore to just jump up and pretend I was fine. Man had to help me up while holding the dog’s leash. I can’t think the last time I skinned my knees! I got off much better than you did!

My Dad always told me I would be doing fine until I stop halfway on the stairs and look around and when I go to start again I can't remember if I was going up or down.

[JGVillages]

Had a great Senior Moment story to share that happened last week but I can’t remember what it was!!!

[raynan]

OP, I've done that.

[kfierle]

Hmmm. . .

[tomwed]

Hmmm. . .funny

[valuemkt]

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective .. What you didn't realize is that you really wanted tea this morning and you have a potful of hot water .. just add the tea bag and you're done for the morning

[asianthree]

Turn on my lights, unlock my doors, adjust the temperature, and start coffee pot on with Alexa. She never fails, unless you call her Alexis.:1rotfl:

Does she also remember to put the filter and the coffee in the coffeemaker?!!

Sadly she lacks the ability to roll into the kitchen, but I am working on it

[2BNTV]

I love the sign that says, "if your drinking to forget, pay your bill now"!!! :smiley:

I haven't had any mishaps making coffee but...............

[dewilson58]

Coffee process was executed properly this morning

[CFrance]

I am too embarrassed to admit how many times I have brewed coffee onto the counter/cabinet face/floor. I like to blame it on the dog, because he can't talk.

[Barefoot]

My Dad always told me I would be doing fine until I stop halfway on the stairs and look around and when I go to start again I can't remember if I was going up or down.To keep us sane, that is probably why houses in The Villages are designed without stairs. :evil6:

We’re so proud of you!

[dewilson58]

We’re so proud of you!

One day at a time.

[Nucky]

One day at a time.

Good words to live by.

Our son made this K Cup coffee for us called Triple Death with three xxx's on the container. Strongest stuff I ever had and I'm a Coffeeaholic! I'll get the exact name when he gets home. Rough stuff.:blahblahblah:

[Bjeanj]

My dad made me espresso once and I thought it was really terrible.
