| It seems that all my life, I have washed dishes from right to left. However, due to the configuration of the kitchen sink in relationship to the dishwasher, it is most sensible to wash dishes from left to right. I am becoming ambidishtrous. |
Within days of being lit, one string of lights on the tree has gone out. Of course, the lights go on first so it's no easy task to change out the string. So the options are:
1. Take everything off the tree and replace the lights that have gone out;
2. Stretch out the other strings of lights to cover up the tree's dark section; or
3. Pretend they are flashing lights with a particuarly long dark sequence and keep everyone in suspense over when they will flash back on. |
| I am not yet old enough to be eccentric, but I am just the right age to be cranky. I not only don't remember why I went into a room, I don't care anymore. If my memory is not what it used to be, that's not really a problem, since I don't remember what it used to be, right? I don't relish watching my skin wrinkle and sag, but at least I am too poor to afford cosmetic surgery and I won't ever look as bad as those middle-aged celebrities with their eyebrows permanently raised in surprise over the hive of bees that have obviously attacked their puffy, swollen lips. And as I get older and crankier, I find that I like me more, even if others might like me less. |
| Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are feasting today. For those not celebrating, I wish a happy day and for those without a feast, I pray for provision and blessings to overtake you. I have placed a frozen turkey in the oven this morning, having been reassured by the internet that it is not only feasible to cook it from frozen, but that it is actually preferable for food safety reasons. I am having faith that this theory will turn out to be true and give me even more cause for thankfulness. |

- Usually, if something gets broken, I am the one who has to fix it.

- I was the family dishwasher for years. My mother believed strongly in chores and avoiding housework. She had a saying "Why keep dogs and bark myself?"
- My dishwasher is a countertop model - which still takes up a lot of room, so there are not a lot of places where it fits. It took years of thoughtful planning to move it from the left of the sink to the right of the sink.
