I’ve decided to try to write a daily JULY piece. Well we will see how that comes out as the month progresses. Today is Thursday, July 2nd, and usually on Thursday it’s margarita day at the club. Hubby and I go for one or two; he finds two are enough. I will have three, but sip slowly. For some reason they don’t taste the same at home. My JULY 2nd piece reflected this. My other piece is about the wacky weird holiday today, I FORGOT DAY.
I tried to think of what to write about forgetting. I decided upon a person who forgets where their errand was for the day. There are times I’ve gotten in my car and not sure where I was headed. So much on my mind at times that I get confused and end up where I don’t want to be. It was fun to write about forgetting and glad there’s a day dedicated to it. My daily reflections are about just having coffee for now. Not sure what I’ll do after coffee time. I will play it by ear. Another day with the second stay at home stay order; not sure how long it will last this time. But I read masks are in order for leaving the house in Pennsylvania; it seems everyone must wear mask everywhere. I’m wondering when Florida will be issuing the same.
Until tomorrow....Today is I FORGOT DAY so if you forget something no fear you’re just celebrating the day.

July 2....DAILY REFLECTIONS
Coffee time....then more coffee....then more
more coffee....need to jump start the
day
Not sure what I’ll do after coffee....but that
is ok....I’ll wing it....why not
It’s not like I have an agenda to follow....
staying safe....social distancing myself
from the world

(For I FORGOT DAY July 2nd)
Got in my car went to the grocery store
Put on my mask before I walked in the
door
Took a cart, that had been sanitized
Reached into my pocket then I realized
The list....I forgot it at home
Followed the arrows up the aisle, down the
next
Trying to remember what I needed made
me perplex
What was on the list? Was it cereal, cheese
or perhaps soup
My mind it kept a whirling in a loop
The list....I forgot it at home
Picked up items I thought I did need
Fruit, frozen pizzas and bagels with sesame
seeds
Juice, bottled water and laundry soap
Not knowing what to purchase, I felt like a
dope
The list....I forgot it at home
Finished my shopping, checked out of the
store
Removed my mask as I walked out the door
Took my groceries home, put them away
Noticed a piece of paper, read it, oh
what a day
The list....I forgot before was for
yesterday’s shopping trip
Forgot today I was headed to the bank

Just another day of the week for me....it
is Thursday
Under normal circumstances I’d be having
margaritas at the club
Let me say it is not happening....clubs
closed again....COVID-19
Yet, I could make them at
home....need the ingredients
though
