But since the Sketchbook Project sketchbook needs posting no later than January 15, I think I'll work on that today. Unless Ben wants to go tease the Boxing Day sales in town. We need a king-size duvet cover; we got one last week, until I noticed I was trying to put a freshly-laundered queen-size cover on a king-size blanket; though our bed is queen, we've always had two king blankets, no queens, so I don't know what came over me, but this kind of mistake/confusion makes me feel terribly old and stupid.
Delete incident. Fun link.
Today would have been my parents' 58th anniversary. Dad was the hopeless romantic; Mom ever the pragmatist. Mom put up a lot with Dad's idiosyncrasies, he demanded much in his last two decades, but I always thought Dad loved Mom more. I should have said so to him. I understood Dad perhaps very well because we were so alike, but I didn't tell him because I thought he knew. Even if he did, I think it would have been nice for me to say and for him to hear, as it would have been vice versa.
Hear me up there?

I had one for my annals of forgetfulness today -- I make custard for myself every week. If you bake custard, you know that the cups are supposed to sit in a pan of water. Today I forgot the water. All I can do is laugh when things like this happen, because they happen frequently for me. Like when I forgot to peel the apples, once, when I made apple pie. Or when I forget to turn off the oven after something has finished cooking. Or similar dumb forgetfulnesses. Ahh, aging.
It's still amazing, and disconcerting, Connie, when I forget things that were second nature to me in the past, things I never even had to think about. I'm starting to sense how it's possible, by extrapolation, to forget recent occurrences, (have been for some years,) or heaven forbid, loved ones.
