Mood:  incredulous
Topic: Senior Moments
I had a Pickles moment this week. With Kathy laid up I've been handling the kitchen and it hasn't been totally successful. The truly unpleasant Mrs. Johnson complained this week that I destroyed the coffee. I drink black, while I fix hers with dry creamer and sweetener. I kept adding more creamer as it wasn't changing the coffee color. Turns out I filled the creamer container with sweetener!
My neighbor, Elliot, considered home remodeling like cooking: It would all come together in the end. After about 10 years, he lost interest and sold his house half finished. The trait that makes me good at construction-the ability to focus on one task and complete it-doesn't help me in cooking. This whole multitasking thing isn't my style.
