This post is dedicated to the memory of MY MEMORY... the one I used for 78 years, it is either dead or has deserted me. I had to look up desert/dessert to see which one to use here.
I found this
To Desert (someone or something) for (someone or something else): This idiom means to leave or abandon someone or something in favor of someone or something else. It implies a sense of betrayal or abandonment.
Simply Said, My Memory has simply abandoned me this past week.
#1. I had THREE pots going at one time and since I am not good at cooking, the green beans were ready first and I left it on warm.
We ate lunch at 12 noon. At 3 pm, I heard Bob pour dog food in Beau's bowl and then loud cursing. I sprang (ha ha) from the bed I was reclining on with a kindle in hand and headed for the kitchen. The smell was horrid. I had left the burner on warm for 3 hours, Bob took frozen loaf of bread out to thaw and for some reason his brain deserted him and HE LAID the bread ON THE BURNER, sat down in front of the TV and loudly cursed when he smelled plastic burning.
The house did not burn down, the bread was salvaged except for two bottoms of 2 slices, and we did the What ifs, the thankful prayers of thanks for the what ifs that did not happen and we spent TWO days getting the plastic off the coils to the burner.
#2. My quick trip to Publix to grab RX and 4 things Walmart did not have, went well and when I got home, I only had 2 bags, having left the 3rd bag with a 5-dollar bottle of Cranberry Juice hanging on the bag hook at the self-check register. A return trip, found the register watcher girl, had saved it for my return trip.
#3. Fast forward a week, and I am shopping at Walmart, and nearly faint when the price is over 200.00. After we lugged it all in the house, I told Bob, dog food had gone up to double the price, and was 60.00.
I forgot to check the price when I zapped it with the handheld gun thingy because I had 10 items that needed the hand scanner thingy. I grabbed the receipt to read the price of dog food to Bob and and much to my embarrassment, I found I HAD
SCANNED THE DOG FOOD TWICE, the price still 30 as it was the last time.
The good news is, I took the receipt back to Customer Service, they put the 32 dollars back on my debit card.
I do love Walmart, most of the time.
Memory RECAP : I left a burner on, I left the bag at the store, I double charged MYSELF and had to drive to each store TWICE using twice the gas.
This is eating into my AI playtime, which is supposed to help my cognitive abilities, but I did find time to create crazy brains pics with Bing Designer and I have noticed my cognitive abilities are getting worse not better, I wonder if AI is messing with my mind???
PS: I FORGOT TO PUT TOMATOES on Bob's Tacos EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE BOWL IN FRONT OF MY FACE. HE DID NOT EVEN NOTICE.
