i need to get my life back under control . . .

****i just washed a load of sheets with bleach but forgot to add the already poured cup of detergent.  this not being the first time, i start to wonder where my brain has gone.

****last night i was cleaning out my laptop. too many duplicate photos.  ancient files.  housekeeping stuff but then it started beeping at me.  usually mac is good about showing you the cause.  an icon.  a flashing something, something.  i got a nothing, nothing. i resorted to rebooting it, since that seems to be the best line of defense.  still beeping.  now faster.  hum.  i finally shut down the laptop.  it glared at me, opened it's little hatch and beeped.  yes, unplugged, turn off, it had the audacity to beep at me.  again.  and a third time before i realized the sound might be coming from a slightly different angle.  turns out to my total embarrassment, it was the land line recharging.  oops.  keeper.  oh keeper, where art thou?

****tuesday of last week, my neighbor was helping me denude some of the oaks of virginia creeper.  i rarely play in the yard. poison ivy and i are not friends.  to heck with the blisters and itch.  my reaction goes right to the gut.  huge welts and hives, swollen tongue, trouble breathing.  not nice.  but we were careful.  no shiny leaves of three for she and me.  wednesday was fine.  whew. dodged that bullet.  thursday evening and my eyes were itchy.  friday morning they were worse.  so were the hives on my neck, nose and forehead. saturday morning, joanie ran and got me some benadryl.  by saturday afternoon, i looked like this:
not one of my better looks. aren't you glad i have no shame and posted this for your enjoyment.  ok, i apologize.  i finally decided i needed to hit the er.  just in case i felt like breathing a little while longer.  in and out with my prednisone, i am slowly but surely becoming a happier camper.  oh yeah, lots of wine with my whine.
