I was on a flight from Miami to Atlanta last week. It was chilly, so I put on my fleece. In doing so, I took off my glasses and put them on the empty seat beside me, then forgot to put them back on. When the plane landed, I realized in a panic that they were not on my head, and were nowhere to be found. After the plane emptied out, a flight attendant helped me. She said, "Well, when we land, everything moves forward," and found them on the floor like four rows ahead of where I was sitting.

mother's day is early this year (uk). i should go to the supermarket and pick up a card there rather than making a special trip to the card shop...
and i won't pick the usual abstract card or a floral one, i'll pick one with text on it for a change. and i like that font and the way that orange clashes with that dark blue... sorted.
get home and realise it reads 'happy birthday!'
(and i will probably forget / lose it before october)

I've been doing a better job of going to the gym on the way to work, but somehow like every other time I manage to forget an item I need in my gym bag - most often towel, belt, or shoes for work. A few times I've just given up on going to the office and worked from home due to this.

Whereas today I am beltless in office and just pulling up my jeans a lot, lol
Found this year’s and last year’s registration in my glove box today with the August 2024 tag still on this year’s form, that I paid for last August. A non-required front tag? Nope. Stowed the registration on purchase and have been driving with expired tabs since September.

(the lacunae involve her failure to appreciate billy squier, just in case anyone took that seriously)
(i mean she *should* appreciate billy squier, but is kickass nevertheless)
