My pettest peeve was . . .

My pettest peeve is the silverware drawer.  OMG how hard is it to put silverware in its own slot in the drawer insert obviously designed to do just that?  I can't tell you how many times I have had to rearrange that drawer because a dinner fork and a salad fork  are not interchangeable any more than soup spoon and a teaspoon are.  Finally . . . after many years of attempting to explain to all the misguided souls who believe a fork is a fork in any slot . . . I solved it for me.  One day I took out the insert and just dumped the dishwasher basket.  What I found to my surprise was, it's so much easier.  In my effort to holler, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," from my own intellectual or organizational superiority, I found my own reality.  When people remark about it, I tell them it saves so much time.  If my dishwasher was clean, I'd demonstrate.  Peace to the pieces . . .

There are moments, sometimes hours, as has been the case today, when birds talk to me.  That sounds so spiritual, so Zen.  It’s not what you might be thinking.  Today, 6:06 a.m., “cheater, cheater, cheater.”  It stays until another bird overpowers the sound with “Judy, Judy, Judy”, then, “save a seat, save a seat, save a seat.”  It is maddening and I cannot stop it.  Well, I can stop it if the docs would give me my preferred prescription**. That’ll stop everything.  The only thing past drugs that will stop this now is listening.  The birds are actually answering my questions.  I know that sounds ridiculous and it’s not.  My mind flies pictures in between their calls.  Now they are saying, “hello, hello, hello”.
