“What?” has been, for quite some time, the most frequently used word in our home
Mostly my fault, my heredity hearing that went to shit in my late 40’s
Matt mumbles too, so we are co-conspirators in this trouble
My hearing aides are currently going on the fritz…..time to replace them, that isn’t helping at the present
But there is a new phrase that is vieing for the most frequently around here
”What are you doing?”
I hear some kind of noise, get up to investigate, see Matt doing something that doesn’t quite make sense in the context of the time of day……..
This morning, wearing his plaid shorts on top of his Levi’s…..wearing his Annapolis Lucky shirt for the 5th day in a row……he is taking the compost out of the compost pail
”What are you doing?”
I am taking the compost out
He sets the recycle bag on the counter…..which leaks compost juice all over the place
I grab a bowl, put the full compost bag in the bowl, use a rag to wipe up the juice
15 minutes later, the compost still sits in the bowl on the counter
But the laundry basket has now been moved to the chair by the front door
I didn’t get a “what are you doing?” said in time for that I guess
He reported he fell out of bed
Someone pushed him……
I may need to remove the box springs soon to lower the height
Does it seem like this post is going off in random ways, all over the place?
Then you get the picture of life here…..this is our current normal
I could go on and on……there is plenty of material
Mary says I gotta find the humor in the moments
I don’t disagree with her, I wish I had her amazing sense of humor
The image of plaid over Levi may need to trump this mornings images, removing the compost leak from memory…..my early morning fashion show
So what will the next outfit on the catwalk be?
