Nona -- that is the name I go by most often nowadays. Even my little Brownies call me Nona. Well, Nona has just had a couple of cra-cra moments lately.
As everybody knows, we moved house in late November or early December-- I can't remember which. We got most of our things moved and then things went downhill quickly so we are still a bit scattered with a lot of stuff at the other house. Moving the rest of our stuff was put off what with illness (dreaded flu) and MIL getting sick and passing on. So, I didn't think much about it all until I started missing things.
Wanting to make an angel food cake, it occurred to me that I had no idea where my hand mixer was.
Looking for shoes that wouldn't hurt my feet I realized that I had lost my Tieks.
I looked everywhere for both these items and simply couldn't find them.
So, back to the old house I tore up everything I could to find them. I packed up most of the rest of the kitchen thinking that I would run across the mixer. I went through bags of stuff for charity shops thinking I just tossed the Tieks.
Nothing, nada, no go.
I was bummed so I came home and went into my closet.
I moved a pair of sandals and what do you suppose I found? No, not the mixer but I did find the flats.
Then yesterday morning I went into the kitchen to make some breakfast and I couldn't remember where I put the griddle. Well, there is one cabinet that I forget I have -- I don't know why, it is a galley kitchen but this one cabinet completely eludes me and since I don't use the griddle on a daily basis -- well -- you can see where this is going.
So, I open the cabinet to see if that is where the griddle was and voila! Yes, the griddle was there and so was -- the handmixer. All very organized and lined up neatly.
I can't believe that I couldn't remember bringing the thing home or putting it away so neatly but there it is!
And I was very glad to find my shoes.
I will be glad when everything gets moved so I can finally have all my stuff here and I won't look so idiotic when I "lose" things.
The last couple of months have been very hectic and scattered and I need to feel grounded.
I think I will go to the other house and move some more stuff.
Have a wonderful day!
