If you see a bunch of marbles rolling down the sidewalk, would you do me a favour and please send them to me? About a week ago, mine apparently left home, and without them I am somewhat addlepated. I don’t know why they left … perhaps I have not taken proper care of them and they were feeling slightly neglected … I just do not know.
In the past week, I have done the following:
Forgotten to wash my daughter’s nursing scrubs … she finally asked me about it after wearing the same outfit for the third day in a row.
- Drove almost all the way home from Kroger with the rear car door wide open. (I kept wondering why the dome light was still on)
- Forgotten to take my insulin at least 3 times, and forgot once whether I had taken it or not.
- Forgot to feed the cats.
- Spent 10 minutes looking for mayonnaise in the fridge, when it was right in front on the top shelf.
- Lost all my socks (they were later found in the box with the Christmas cups I had packed away).
- Thawed meat to make an Italian veggie soup, then forgot until dinnertime that I hadn’t actually made the soup.
- Run the clothes dryer for an hour … empty.
- Put away a dishwasher full of dirty dishes
And the list goes on. Without my marbles, I simply do not function well at all!
After apologizing profusely to my daughter for the lack of clean scrubs, I lamented that perhaps all this is a sign that Alzheimer’s is setting in. She pooh-poohed the notion and said I am simply too much distracted by the political climate about which I spend the majority of my time reading and writing. Perhaps so, but still … I would sincerely appreciate the return of my marbles.
I did have one thought … perhaps my marbles left and are headed toward 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, where their intent is to rest on the steps of the big White House, lying in wait for a certain person-who-shall-remain-nameless, and their plan is to send him rolling on the steps, where he will bonk his head and lie in a vegetative state for the rest of his days.
I keep hearing the word “preoccupied” by my family. I sense that they had a family meeting to which I was not invited, and it was decided that “when she does something dumb, just give her a hug and tell her it’s okay, that she is just ‘preoccupied’”.
At any rate … if you should happen upon a bunch … I think there are around 150 … of these guys rolling along aimlessly, send me a message and I will send you my address to return them. There is, by the way, a reward for their return … $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I heard that on the next season of The Walking Dead, all of the zombies will be lead to Washington. Since they eat brains, the strategy is to starve them to death since they won’t find enough to sustain their population.

😀 My marbles have a pacifist tendency, and I just cannot picture them launching themselves at his head, else I might have gone with that! 😀

I don’t know if I agree with that. I could use a few more to make up for the ones sliding off the table.

You need a good hug and also to take some time away. I find the comics help — as does a large glass of scotch! But it doesn’t pay to get too close to this man and his pathological behavior. We must keep reminding ourselves that this, too, shall pass.

Yes, I do need both. My planned break last weekend fell apart, so instead I read and wrote even more … needed that break! I will take your advice on the comics, though … and perhaps wine, since I don’t care for scotch! Thanks, Hugh!

Oh heavens, don’t worry. If they’re at the White House they’re missing in a good cause. In fact, mine are on the way as reinforcements so we can cover more ground. I have to get that hated pout off the front pages of the UK newspapers somehow.
