Senior Moments or Dumb Things I've Done Lately

Have you ever done something dumb or stupid? A simple thing but you look back after the fact and say "What was I thinking"?

Last week, when going thru the laundry I found a pair of mismatched socks. I’m usually pretty careful about these things so I set them aside thinking maybe I'll find the missing socks.

I settled in to watch TV that night, looked down, and I was wearing a matching pair to the set I found in the laundry!


Go figure, I didn’t wear the mismatched pair once but twice! So I guess I have a quirky fashion sense, or I’m getting too old to notice or care.
🤣

My mom told me not to run with scissors or cut sewing thread with my teeth. She failed to mention that I shouldn’t tear packing tape with my teeth.

So I’m packing a box yesterday using heavy-duty clear tape. As I get ready to cut the end I see my scissors just out of reach. Too strong for me to tear, no problem! Of course, I used my teeth. I’d done it many times before, no biggie.

Well, they must make the glue a lot stronger or I’m just oh so delicate. A piece of the sticky side touched my lower lip, close to the inside. I didn’t realize it until after I tore the tape to place it on the box.

Yup, tore a small piece of skin off, enough to start the blood dripping out. Ever try to apply pressure to the edge of your lip? I will NEVER do that again! 🙄
