Earbuds

 I broke one of my new earbuds today, and when I tried to fix it, I put it back together wrong. Now I have two left earbuds.

Old Man

 I felt like an old man today when I said I had two things to say and could only remember one.

Fish and Chips

 Whenever I used to go out for dinner, I would order fish and chips because Barb never cooked them for me. Now Barb regularly makes fish and chips for dinner, and Barb says she only likes fish and chips because of the tartar sauce. I was grossed out tonight when Barb tried to get the last of the tartar sauce out of the bottle with her fingers.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

For the first time, I won the Workweek Hustle on the family Fitbit Challenge or everyone else lost.

Glasses

 Barb has taken to wearing two pairs of reading glasses simultaneously because the numbers on her phone are so small.

Phone Call

 We had to phone the receptionist to get let into the doctor's office, and Barb was with me. She misread the number on the sign and called some guy in Gatineau. It was a strange conversation.

35th Wedding Anniversary

 Laura phoned us today and we told her it was our 35th wedding anniversary. Not only did she not know it was our 35th wedding anniversary, she didn't even know it was our anniversary. It was a total coincidence that she phoned us that day.

Another Nook

 I was buying another Nook. Barb was asking me questions while I was buying it on eBay. I ordered it but somehow didn't pay for it. When Barb went to pick it up, the seller said I didn't pay, and Barb argued with him. Then she phoned me, and I got online and found out I didn't pay for it. So Barb had to find $20 to pay for it because she pays for everything with her credit card, and the seller couldn't take a credit card. She had to scramble and use the US quarters in the car we used to pay for the toll roads when we were in Florida. He was happy to take them because they were more valuable than Canadian money.

Stan

 I meet on Zoom with a friend in Ottawa every Tuesday at 1:30 pm, and I set up the meeting every Sunday afternoon. Today when I set up the session, I set it up for 1:30 am by accident.

Upside Down

 Today I thought Barb looked funny and noticed she was wearing her reading glasses upside down.

Insert

Barb noticed her foot was hurting a lot lately. Her feet never hurt because she wears inserts in her shoes. Today, when she went to check the insert in her shoe, she realized there was no insert.

Toaster

 I have a bagel with cream cheese every morning for breakfast. This morning the toaster wouldn't stay down. I tried over and over again. I thought, oh no, we would need a new toaster. Then I noticed it wasn't plugged in. I didn't know it wouldn't stay down if it's not plugged in—you learn something new every day.

Garbage Day

 In New Hamburg, our garbage is only picked up every two weeks, and our recycling is picked up every week. I took the trash out, but I told barb I thought it wasn't garbage week. She said no, she keeps track of it on her calendar. The next day the garbage wasn't picked up, but there was a nice note on the trash bag in the morning. Barb had forgotten to flip the calendar to the new week.

Kumar

 Tonight I got a message that Kumar in Japan was waiting for me at 11 pm Sunday. We were supposed to meet on Monday night and Tuesday morning in Japan, but he thought we were meeting on Sunday night, which was Monday morning in Japan.

London, Ontario

 Barb wonders why we have a GPS in the car, but we never use it. One day she got lost coming home from Cambridge, about a half-hour's drive away, and ended up on the highway heading to London, Ontario, an hour away.

Flipped

 Sarah gave me her old laptop that I had turned into a Linux computer. I was looking for the headphone jack one day and lifted the laptop, and the screen flipped upside down. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get the screen back right-side up.

Homer-Watson Boulevard

 Kitchener has a major street called Homer-Watson Boulevard, but everyone refers to it as just Homer-Watson except Barb, who calls it Homer-Simpson. She doesn't do it as a joke, though.

Instruction Booklet

 I bought my sister a Nook e-book reader, but she didn't know how to use it. I told her that the Nook came with an Instruction Booklet on it. But then I realized you have to be able to use the Nook to read the booklet.

One Earbud

 I have been going to sleep at night listening to music on my iPod Shuffle. The next day, I heard a little voice while working on my computer. I put in one of my earbuds and heard nothing, but then I put in the other earbud and found my iPod had been playing all day, but only one earbud was working.

Glasses

I went to get my eyes tested today and I forgot to take my glasses off but fortunately they fell off when I sat down.

Sarah and Ali's New Home

 Sarah and Ali closed the deal on their own house and it was in New Hamburg about a 45 minute walk from our house. We were so happy for them and for us to be so close to them.
