Musings from the laundromat – dull moments edition

A friend said this morning, in response to my Facebook status: “Never a dull moment in Amandaville’  which, made me think … because I see my ‘Ville’ as quite dull.  Dull as dishwater most days.  But, simple things in my life turn out bonkers.

Took me two trips to get here today.  The first had me at the pharmacy, trying to purchase ‘Unstopables’ for the laundry and finding that my debit card was not in my wallet.  No, the irony was not lost on me.

I was stopped. I did the sheepish “I’ll be back, it’s at home” thing and received the ‘yeah right, you’re not coming back’ doubtful look.

Well I DID come back.

Debit card was at home on the dining room table after going with my son to Taco Bell last night.

SO!   The status …

Names and faces have been blurred to protect the innocent.  Okay, they’re not that innocent, but I shall protect them anyway – I look after people I care about.  Even when they’re suggesting such naughty things.

But, I am also true to my word when it comes to threats 😉  So take that guys.

The shower … I’m pretty sure that if you peered into my ear and past what is left of my eardrum, you’d find the right hand side of my brain is pretty clean.  As is the bathroom ceiling, inbetween the protective shower curtain lining and the non-waterproof ‘pretty’ curtain.

I’m hearing reports from home that apparently I didn’t get all the water – my son is stepping in puddles that I couldn’t find.  As I pointed out to him, ‘Water is invisible’.

And when your ear is ringing from being shot with a heavy stream of water, it’s almost impossible to find. It is!  Don’t try it – just trust me.
