I’ve never mastered shopping -

Holy Cow. This from you two?
You can spell, know grammar, and can write.
T-C, you are raising and teaching 8 humans. Face, you remember recipes, understand math etc., and where you last put things.

I can't do any of that, but I do a great job shopping. Somehow I make comprehensive lists with long term needs in mind, remember to bring the list, and am usually get everything on it. We hardly ever run out of anything.

Rats! I'd rather understand grammar, math, and have a working memory!

LOL!

And I’d rather shop comprehensively! There was a day when I never ran out of anything. I would make a list and my mind was so good that even if I forgot the list, I could still get everything on it. Without fail.

Then a got CFIDS, and I had to learn how to function all over again. Oddly enough, the things I learned to do at a younger age are the things I can recall at will, now. It is a source of great frustration for me that I can’t even keep a checkbook properly, now, and I used to be a cashier and even filled out tax returns for folks on a small scale.

But thanks for the compliment! I appreciate you!

I understand your missing the puppies. I still miss Ash, after almost two years.

I had to send James and Vlad outside because they were insanely yammering. I’m too tired for that! I think I’ll heat up some leftover coffee: someone swiped my last diet cola.
