I have to chosen to write a post for the prompt: write a post about making mistakes.This may be a mistake... You decide.
I make lots of little scatter brained mistakes on a daily basis. In fact, I came to the conclusion that I am some sort of hapless doddering Mrs Bean character long ago. Read it about here. It's funny to read about... Well, if I didn't laugh I'd cry...
Now it's time for a random list for no particular reason:
LIST OF LITTLE MISTAKES I MAKE IN EVERYDAY LIFE
- Putting the wrong clothes away in the wrong drawers.
- Leaving the shopping list at home.
- Forgetting to even write a list.
- Writing a list, then leaving it at home.
- Taking the list, but still forgetting to buy essential items written on it.
- Getting the dodgy trolley at the supermarket.
- Choosing the slowest check out.
- Forgetting to replace the loo roll (I gather this is generally more of a dude thing, but I'm special...)
- Buying/borrowing more books before I've read the ones I've got... No wait. This is NEVER a mistake!
- Forgetting the pizza that was in the oven... (on the plus side that means I burned a bazillion calories in just half an hour! BOOM TISH)
- Picking up the wrong kind of schnitzels at the supermarket (the ones with corn instead of plain), an act of vile, callous and unforgivable EVIL as far as Mr 8 is concerned.
- Forgetting where I put my glasses/keys/phone five minutes ago....
You get the picture. This list could go on and on and ON.
And that list hasn't even covered other past mistakes, such as my infamous mullet-perm of 1987, and the time I thought wearing shirts that looked like table cloths was attractive. See below. What was I thinking?

| BIG MISTAKE |
However, the biggest mistake I am currently making is this:
Not getting enough exercise. Followed closely by eating too much. OOPS.
This in turn causes me to a) gain weight, and b) become more prone to anxiety.
This is also after choosing the word MOVE as my one word for this year. Oh dear.
So, yesterday I was at the shops and I had a big, wobbly, stupid, batshit crazy panic attack. Not fun. I haven't had one for ages, so it's very disconcerting when that bastard pops up. Well, it can go f#*k itself. I am making myself move again. I've always found exercise is one of the best strategies to combat it.

As 'Anne' says, tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it.
Or you know, fresh with no CAKES in it. Since my mistakes often seem to feature baked goods. Ahem.

Now I am signing off, because I really and truly need to get up and MOVE.
What mistakes do you make? Do you learn from them?
I'm world famous for leaving shopping lists at home. I also forget what just happened days or hours before at work. But I can remember stuff that happened 20 years ago. It's a good parlor trick, but not worth much else. Another mistake I made was aging. Regretting that one daily.
ReplyDeleteI just use my phone now for shopping lists. As for exercise, well, I kickstarted my journey some years ago after learning of a family history of heart disease. I do love my food which is why I need to exercise. Having said that, thanks to winter, I've slacked off a bit!
ReplyDeleteSince you've listed so many of my mistakes here, I think I should just copy past this in my blog! But jokes aside, I enjoyed reading this. Love the humour that laces the post!
ReplyDeleteCan relate to so many mistakes on your lists and it made me laugh at my desk and brightened my Monday!
ReplyDeleteRegarding buying/borrowing books - I've bought a couple over the years, thought the story sounded familiar, got home and saw it in my bookcase.
Now that was a mistake!
