as the mind goes ....

i’ve been a little concerned about Leo’s memory of late ... it seems to have holes in it ... black holes where something goes in, but never come out ... part of the problem of course, could be the meds he is on and the time of day/night i chatter at him ... being the "good wife", i was just telling him today that maybe after the worst of the springtime dampness is over - he should cut down on one of his meds ... that might help with the drowsiness and memory problem ...

after doing the concerned thing (and you know that i truly am that ... ) ... i decided to make chili for supper ... and fresh buns to go with it ... i wanted to feed my poor guy (who really has atrocious eating habits) ...

as the chili was twirling happily on med-low (it’s a microwave recipe), i started to whip up a batch of buns ... after the dry ingredients were all mixed, i realized that i had put in baking soda, instead of the baking powder the recipe called for ...

... sigh ...

i hate to throw stuff out, even 2 cups of flour ... but ... i re-mixed ... THEN as i put the buns into the oven, i noticed the chili powder sitting on the counter ... DUH ... i was making chili without chili powder ....

the very sad thing about this little confession, regarding my own memory, is that the only pill i take is a multi-vitamin ... compared to Leo's list of meds ...

maybe the Lord wants me to cut Leo a little bit of slack ... we’re not perfect ... we do forget ... so i'll just just breath in and breath out ... and chuckle a little at the black hole in my own brain!
