- Struggling to find my glasses in a dark bedroom.
- Choosing the right pillow so I won’t have a crick in my neck when I get up.
- Wrapping up in the Minky Couture blanket my wife gave me for Christmas a few years back. I wouldn’t need it if it was warm outside.
- Waiting for coffee.
- Choosing between vanilla or chocolate.
- Trying to figure out if you want a single or double Bourbon Bacon Burger at Wendy’s.
- Construction vehicles.
- Taking medicine.
- An internet outage.
- Tripping over toys.
- Making room at the table.
- Eating too much.
- Needing to lose weight.
- Needing a favor from a friend.
- Hearing the same story about grandma’s first date with grandpa.
- Hiding sappy-movie-tears. I cry when I watch coffee commercials during the holidays.
- An electric bill.
- Taking the car for service.
- Turning on the heated seats in my wife’s car.
- Complaining that my no-frills Toyota Pickup doesn’t have a hood scoop.
- Waiting for a new Lazy Boy recliner to be manufactured and delivered. The salesperson winked when he said, “They tell me 6 to 8 weeks.”
- Saying, “We’re trying to simplify our lives.”
- Selling stuff you don’t want anymore.
- Friends. Sometimes I brag, “I’m my own favorite company.” But that’s only half true.
- Not liking things about the people who are close to you.
- An old person who needs someone to talk to.
- A young person who thinks you’re too old to know anything.
- An old person who asks a young person to explain technology.
- The morning sun glaring on my laptop screen while I’m wrapped up in your Minky Couture.
- Unwrapping from my blanky to refresh my coffee.
Happy Thanksgiving
