December 2025, I'm at an
Aldis in a checkout line. I'm doing the scanning and I'm almost done when a woman comes by and grabs her phone from the little shelf next to the pay station. She came back from her car to retrieve it. I didn't even know it was there. I took note. January 4th, my first trip out in the new year. Off to Wallmart. In the parking lot I exit the car check my back pocket and yep you guessed it, no wallet. Duh, left it in my other pant's pocket. After all that talk about mindfulness. Humbeled once again. Drive back home and start over. When I'm cashing out with a person checker, they have a small shelf at a pay portal, where I put my wallet and sometimes my phone. Now, this time I put more concentration on that small ledge. After the sale, I get both items back into my pocket. So, the Aldi experience was a refresher course for me. I do need re-freshing. Still messed it up. That''s ok, still go forward. I think I will put a note to me and tape it to the dashboard.
Today I got around to fixing that leaning coat rack. I thought of a better way to make it work. Now it stands straight.
Also been working on these puzzles made with lego bricks. They come with books on how to put them together. The first one was a big O gauge steam engine called a Big Boy. 1818 parts to it. Took me a month, off & on. I learned more about patience while doing this. Made some mistakes that required back tracking. It is fun though.
