Phones

 I gave my sister audiobooks to listen to, and I gave her an MP3 player to listen to them on. But my sister was now interested in getting one of my old phones to listen to books on and be able to turn it off and not lose her place if she is interrupted. We have many old phones, and we don't even know where they came from.

Glasses

 I have difficulty seeing many things close up with my glasses for distance. Today, I was filing some papers and took my glasses off and put them on the floor beside me while I was on my hands and knees because I only have a low two-drawer filing cabinet. When I stood up, I stepped back and didn't step on my glasses.

Shortened Walk

 I was up until 6 am working on a presentation for the next day. But I have multiple meetings on the same day, and between sessions, I like to go for a walk to clear my mind. Today, Barb joined me, and we were walking around the park for the second time, and she asked me how far we had walked. So I looked at my Fitbit and saw the time. Then I remembered suddenly that my meeting at 6 pm had been changed to 5 pm. So I rushed home and was 10 minutes late for the meeting, and they were all waiting for my presentation. I am really lucky Barb asked me how far we had walked or I would have missed the meeting altogether.

iPad Alarm

 I keep forgetting about my meetings or getting the time wrong. So Barb told me to set my alarm on my iPad. Half the time, Barb hears my alarm, and I don't, and she brings me my iPad from another room with my alarm going off. Today my alarm went off at 5:15 for a 5:30 meeting, but I thought it was a 6 pm meeting and turned off my alarm. Then I was late for my 5:30 meeting. It is not a perfect system.

Straw

My dentist told me that the Diet Coke I was drinking so much was causing problems with the enamel on my teeth. So I asked what I could drink instead. She said water and milk. Well, that wasn't a great answer. So I asked her what else I could do, and she said I could drink my Diet Coke with a straw and not swish it another my mouth. So I started using a straw. And Barb bought me a whole pack of straws. But Laura thought straws were terrible for the environment. So she bought me a package of metal straws for Christmas. But I keep misplacing them. Today I searched for my straw in the morning in my pyjamas and couldn't find it. Then later, when I got dressed, I discovered the straw under my clothes on the chest.

Barb's Bic

 Barb is always amazed how I can finish all the ink in my Bic pens. She has never met anyone who finishes a Bic pen, and everyone she ever met loses their pen before it is finished. Anyway, today, Barb was so proud she finished her first Bic pen.

Scarfing

 

Barb was scarfing down some pretzels from the counter and accidently ate some of my medicine capsules.
