Morning mix-ups

This morning, for example, I grabbed a can of hairspray when I meant to grab a can of deodorant. I didn't notice what I'd done until I was spraying my right underarm and wondered why there was no floral scent. On the up side the stubble under my right arm held its shape all day. ;)

Stubble, is that kosher?

Yesterday I realized I should no longer try driving after having had no sleep the previous night. Lots of close calls. Although had it been a manual I think I would've done better. More activity equals more focus.
 
I once put on beaten old tennis shoes to get ready for church and didn't realize it until I was almost to the car. I had a pair of my really nice dress shoes sitting there just waiting to be put on and in my daze of still being half-asleep I grabbed one of my more battered pair of tennis shoes instead.

I wouldn't have even noticed had I not seen flashes of white and gray coming from my feet. Ugh. Without a huge breakfast and caffeine in me it's a wonder I can even function before 9:00 in the morning.
 
More than once I've gotten to work, went to use the bathroom (the urinal) only to find I put my boxers on backwards. The weird thing is that, aside from maybe feeling a little odd, it never fully bothers me until I get to the bathroom. Once I know they're wrong, all of a sudden, it feels totally wrong and I have to change them right then.
 
When I was in the third grade I went to school one day without underwear on, by accident. I was wearing pants so it was no problem and it didn't bother me at all. I thought it was interesting and it made me question why underwear was even necessary. When I got home I told my mother and she was APPALLED, just BEYOND APPALLED. I was suddenly deeply embarrassed and could hardly bear to remember this awful shame for quite a few years afterward.

What a balls up while trying to get to the service. Still, you do have an advantage: God is love. He'll give you a bye and then you're all set again... see my point? Looking at it net, the baseline situation is that you should be OK. It's not like it's a matter for the courts, or that Church operates as a protection racket...

(Ace wordplay, right? :shifty: )
 
I hope you appreciated that even the smilie is looking from one side to the other, as a spectator does in a tennis match. I was inordinately proud of that little extra icing on the already over-egged cake... :D
