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. |

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.
