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

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.

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.

I'm so sorry. It was kind of you to share that story. My father always said "A word to the wise is sufficient." 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.
