I am officially middle aged


15 july 2021

I have seizures and I do not drive so I have dear friends who take me places and I have started useing the transit system here in my small town. About three days ago Jennifer took me to Sams Club so that I could get a few things that I wanted and while there I lost track of her. Well before I get to the good part let's back track a bit.

I called Jennifer and asked her to take me to Sams Club and she said she would so I plugged in my phone to let it charge while I waited. As I was waiting I took my laptop and was playing my card game using my cordless mouse and was winning another round when I heard her pull up. I stopped my game and closed the laptop and layed the mouse down on the stand and I grabbed my phone and put it quickly into the holder that I wear on my belt and went on my way.

Well as I said earlier I had lost track of Jennifer and so I took my phone out to call her and it had a red beam of light emminating from it! It was not my phone it was my cordless mouse!

Well if that incident was not bad enough today I was searching all over for my bus schedual and could not find it anywhere! So I went and asked a neighbor what time the bus ran and he told me so I went to wait and the bus came but in the wrong direction. It was coming from the mall instead of to the mall but a very nice man gave me a ride to the mall which was only about a mile away and he was heading that way anyhow. So I took care of my business and I sat down to eat some and I felt something in my back pocket catch on the chair so I reached back and lo and behold the forever lost bus schedual was in my back pocket and I still have no memory of putting it there! So that is why I am now officially middle aged.
