Good morning. 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
27 June 2026
I’ve been pretty lax when it comes to keeping up with important dates. I suppose I should finally figure out how to set up my phone to remind me of recurring events like birthdays. They start stacking up fast once your grandchildren start having children. I was thinking about that this morning because I’m pretty sure I may have missed a birthday this month. Anyway, macht nichts — it’ll all come out in the wash.
Speaking of forgetting things, I think I forgot to feed Charlie yesterday morning. When I went to the refrigerator that afternoon to grab his food, there was no can waiting for me. I usually give him half a can in the morning and half in the afternoon. Fortunately, Charlie is very forgiving. I gave him a full can yesterday afternoon and sang, “Hurray, hurray, it’s a full‑can day,” hoping to fool him into thinking it was something special.
I’m not that forgetful of a person, though I do often forget to turn off the water in the kitchen sink. It usually happens when I’m rinsing out the coffee pot — I start multitasking, drift into something else, and since I don’t hear well, I don’t notice the sound of running water. Sometimes it runs for a long time. Most of the time I catch it myself and do a quick look around to make sure nobody saw what happened except me and Charlie. If I don’t catch it, my wife eventually does and asks how long the water has been running. At that point, I just give her the classic deer‑in‑the‑headlights look because I know I’ve done it again. Maybe I’m just getting caught by the doorway effect.

I can totally relate to this 👣🌱👻
