Thursday Thirteen ~ February 11th

It has been so long since I have done a Thursday Thirteen that I thought I would sit down and write about my morning. Because, in the end, It made me laugh.

1. I was putting the dishes away while unloading the dishwasher, and I noted that one of my Pampered Chef Air Fryer racks was missing.
2. This was concerning because Jack has been helping me by unloading the dishwasher in the morning before I get up. This is something new, and I appreciate the help, but now I was worried about where he might have put the rack.
3. I didn’t want to hurt Jack’s feelings by asking him and if I do, usually an argument will happen afterward.
4. So I started my hunt. I checked out where I store my wire baking cooling racks. No, go.
5. Then I went through all the pots and pans and did not find it there either.
6. I checked the bottom of my range where I store cookie sheets. I went through each sheet checking for it.
7. I looked under the cabinet drawers and in the bottom of the drawers. I also checked the towel drawer.
8. I was starting to worry that Jack may have put it somewhere only to never see the light of day again!
9. I decided to check crazy places, like the liquor cabinet, the heavy mix-master cabinet, and even the cabinet with the wine glasses and beer glasses. I even used a super flashlight to check every nook and cranny!
10. As much as I hated to, I knew I needed to ask Jack and see if he remembered where he had placed them.
11. He said he had never seen the rack and when he comes across something he is unsure of where it belongs, he leaves it on our center island.
12. I decided not to argue. I would order a new shelf for $13.00 and just let it go.
13. I turned with the one rack I did have and went over to the Air Fryer and opened the door and placed the rack inside. That was when I glanced to my right and saw the blasted rack sitting in the bar sink, right where I’d placed it a few days ago!  I’d removed that rack after preheating the air fryer, and it was hot and I tossed the rack in the sink, then set about cooking the meal!

I was full of true heartfelt apologies to Jack! I felt terrible about the entire thing! So, I am now 62 and losing my mind. Actually, I think I have just had so much on my mind, that putting the rack in the sink simply slipped my mind! A Senior Moment? Perhaps.

At least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
