Feeling Like A Fool Times Three

I started to polish my table when something didn't seem quite right. I wasn't wearing my reading glasses, but it looked like there was a picture of a fly on the furniture polish. I put my glasses on and sure enough, I nearly polished my table with bug spray. If I had, I wonder if that would have kept the flies away from the table.

I made a cake and had just taken it out of the oven and was letting it cool. That seemed like a good time to clean the sink with scouring powder. I shook the powder into the sink and the powder flew sideways across the kitchen and over the cake. The window was wide open and it was windy. I had to make a new cake and change my clothes.

I went out into the front yard to get the paper and I saw a woman standing in front of the house next door that new neighbors had recently moved into. I had just crawled out of bed and looked like a site, but it would have been too awkward to ignore her and go back in my house. Forcing a smile, I walked over and introduced myself. She did the same. It didn't take long for me to realize that she was my former next door neighbor who had just moved out of that house. Even though we lived next door to each other for 6 years, we had never met before. Of course we had seen each other from a distance, but I didn't recognize with her sunglasses on. How embarrassing and ironic that we didn't meet until after she moved away.
