Fachadert

There is a Yiddish word "fachadert" that means all mixed up -- and boy have I been fachadert lately!

Last night I set my alarm for 7:30 figuring that would give me plenty of time to get up, get dressed, pick up the paper, put out the trash and recyclables, and take care of the dogs before I had to leave at 8:30 for my Weight Watchers weigh in and meeting.  The alarm went off and I was feeling extra tired, but got up and did everything on my list before realizing I was an hour early.  Apparently, when I set the alarm last night I accidentally managed to also reset the time.  Suddenly I had an extra hour to kill before I had to leave.  Believe me, I could have used the extra hour's sleep.

But that was not all.  Right after I weighed in and sat down in the meeting room to wait for the meeting to begin I realized that my right hearing aid was missing.  OMG! How does a person lose one very expensive hearing aid?  I ran out of the meeting and thoroughly searched around and in my car.  Then I retraced my steps.  I drove back to the Dunkin' Doughnuts where I had purchased coffee to see if the hearing aid was in that parking lot or on the floor of the store - no luck!  From there I raced back home.  I checked the foot of my driveway to see if it had possibly fallen off when I moved the garbage can that the trash collectors had left blocking my path -- no luck there either.  I pulled up to , but not into, the garage to check the floor and then the path back up to the kitchen.  Checked the basement and kitchen floors -- nope!  If I had to call David and tell him I lost a really expensive hearing aid that I absolutely needed to replace he would kill me.  Then, lo and behold, on the counter in the hearing aid case was my right hearing aid.  I had never put it in.  What a ditz!

Hopefully the rest of today will be uneventful.  I have to get into the shower and meet up with my therapist at 3:30.  David will be here when I get home to help with paying the bills.  And I have a 6:30 dinner meeting with my Book Club tonight.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get through the rest of the day in one piece and make it to tomorrow!
