I burned down the house. So I’m living in a fireproof cave. FedEx does not deliver here. Send them to Tennesseer . He’ll give them a home till it warms up and he will then set them free. Being a retired employee of named delivery company, and once even a dispatcher, I will guide them to your cave. Can you use your skills for good? I have to tow the Red Knight, aka fatally injured red BMW away from the body shop. I have not found the original paperwork I wanted to write out in longhand. It is in email somewhere. I think only one of two accounts perhaps.

We will not talk about my issues ... just the next steps I did phone a friend with poor people rules. Today I was driven in a vintage Lincoln Continental and I bought groceries at ShopRite, Trader Joes and whatever the blue/red pet store is in this mall. I still have to unpack because I spent my bonus like a crazed starved weasel. (He took the $20 bill I promised which I think he more than earned.) I actually have had dinnerlunch. Now I just have to migrate some of the groceries/months supplies of Opti food into one of the open pantries or the refrigerator/freezer. Its time for second lunch somewhere... but I do not want to get sick (er). IDK if NJ Transit considers CyberMonday a holiday schedule or not.

That is something I would have done if bath bombs were available back in the Stone Age!

This is me when I walk into a room to do something and then forget what I came into the room for. I will walk back out and walk back into the room to hopefully jog my memory.

You are definitely not alone. Yeah that! ^^^ All the time! My problem often is buying a frozen meal which requires time in the oven. I set the heat and while waiting, read the cooking directions. Put the frozen item in the oven but forget for how long. So I have to retrieve the packaging from the trash and look for cooking time. Set the timer and when done, I have forgotten if I'm supposed to do anything else in the preparation. So retrieve the container from the trash again and discover I am supposed to take the plastic off the top and let it rest for five or so minutes. Back to throwing the container into the trash, hopefully for the last time.

Only then, do I put the box in the trash. BTDT! Too many times! 😄

Issue I have with directions are that they are so small you have to raise the packaging to the light, take off your regular eyeglasses, squint at the print and finally give up and find someone with younger eyes to give you the directions. All while cussing under my breath.

So retrieve the container from the trash again and discover I am supposed to take the plastic off the top and let it rest for five or so minutes. Back to throwing the container into the trash, hopefully for the last time. This is why I have my faves and try to pick ones that are easy. I try to make sure I start the timer when I put it in the oven. I rarely full preheat except for certain things, and I often turn off the over for the last couple minutes. Prevents burning especially when my ears might be closing up and I might miss when the alarm goes off. Mine is a dual timer so sometimes I set both. One for what I think it should be and the other for the longest timing window. Or when to do pulls and adds. For example, my new go to Chicken Tender only needs to be in the oven for 13 minutes more or less. But the tater tots need more time and prefer a higher temp. So timer one has the 13 minutes and timer has the time I think it would take to bake this batch of tater tots. So the tenders are pulled out of the oven, and the tots are put back. I use parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet or pizza pan.
