 Sometimes I have difficulty reading. It’s not that I don’t know how to read. It is just that my brain rearranges words and numbers on me. I was reading a number out loud to Ethan. We both could see the number. 

“$2809.00” I said confidently

“Want to check that again?” He asked

I paused and looked at the number “$2809.00” I said again. That is what I was seeing.

“Look again” he said

“Oh….$2103.89” I said. The numbers were clear as day. How did I screw that up?

At least the kids and Paul have seen this occur enough to double check things. 

I went over to Avery’s place today. She needed a hug and a little push of encouragement. I offered to do some laundry for her. She has to pay to do her laundry at the apartment complex. 

The plan was I was going to take it home, wash it, dry it and then bring it back to her with a few other things from home that she has been missing.

I completed all the tasks except bringing one of the loads of laundry back. Darn it. I told them I would drop it off tomorrow. What a dingbat I am.

I picked up my groceries today. I whipped together some chili in the crockpot for dinner. It made the house smell fantastic

Tomorrow I will be doing meal prep. I need to get my work caught up so I can sit back and relax for the football game.
