A senior moment! by happypat

A senior moment!

I had a serious senior moment today when I drove for a fifty mile round trip to meet a friend for lunch & discovered it was next week!

This is my view as I looked towards the door expecting her to walk in any minute!

Three good things:
1. The friend has no idea that I got the days muddled up!
2. Pork casserole in the oven.
3. A Christmas card from @julzmaioro Thank you Julz!
Oh I am pleased it arrived.. and good it was on a day you had a bit of a mix up.. does not look like anyone was there.. have a nice catch it next week..

I agree with @boxplayer.

ah! poor Pat you should have joined us I was out to lunch today. I think we all have these special moments!

It's a wonderful image of your expectation, Pat. Don't feel bad...a few years ago I drove from Charlotte to Athens, GA for our annual sisters weekend with my sister and sisters-in-law only to find out it was the following weekend. A six hour round trip for naught. :(

Well that's a lovely space to wait and great light. .....and I wonder if you will tell her next week about your interesting experience!
January 4th, 2017  
Oh dear, but it looks like a nice place. I like the expectant open door and the reflections on that lovely shiny table. I wonder if you'll sit in the same spot next week?! Lol!

Uh oh!! Our bins have been out for two nights - not because I misread the complicated instructions but because I thought it was Thursday today... I hope you had lunch anyway.
January 4th, 2017  
Hahaah not senior-- just busy!!! So glad it's not just me that does such things. A beautifully shiny floor and lovely light.
January 4th, 2017  
A super shot. You're not alone in having senior moments
January 4th, 2017  
Looks an interesting and quality place - I'm sure you just wanted to check out the place for next week! And I'm not telling the friend!
January 4th, 2017  
At least you didn't find it the other way round and think it was the week after and miss your friend! Looks a cosy and welcoming place to have lunch!

@julzmaioro There were a few eating but it wasn't busy, I looked round the massive shop while I was waiting. I asked fir a flat white coffee, the worst one I have ever had, doesn't bode well for next week! Lovely card thank you again, I should have sent you one, sorry but I was so disorganised with my cards this year, too much gadding & too much enjoying visitors!

@bulldog @gijsje Thank goodness I'm not alone!!😟

@brennieb Yes easy to forget what day it is when you have no structure to your week, should have checked the diary, I rely too much on my memory! @carolmw

@peggysirk Oh dear Peggy that must have been so annoying! I bet you slunk home feeling foolish! I expect it comes up in conversation now & again!!
January 4th, 2017  
@sarah19 I think I probably will Sallie!
January 4th, 2017  
@jesperani Ha ha I think the lady behind the counter will probably remember me! At least I know where it is now, I had to ask today!
January 4th, 2017  
@judithg No lunch, I am on a careful eating plan, well that's what I call it! I deliberately only had fruit to eat for breakfast, didn't fancy lunch on my own so have done really well today on my less food intake! The buns are a mystery over Christmas, remembering when to put them out & what colour, I leave that to Harry!
January 4th, 2017  
😫bins!

@ruthmouch @carolmw
Have to laugh really, mustn't complain as I like driving & it was an area I didn't know, a beautiful day & I gave a heated car seat! What's to mind!!
January 4th, 2017  
@maggiemae Yes I sussed the place out Maggie, a lousy Flat White coffee! Took me a while to find it so,I will time myself much better next week!
January 4th, 2017  
@jackie8 Very true Jackie, I didn't think of that, I was blaming my friend for forgetting. Good we have smart phones & I could log on & read our correspondence again!
January 4th, 2017  
Oh dear, we have all had moments like this. Not only when a 'senior' in my case. It is such a busy time and days get mixed up. At the moment I keep saying to David, "What day is it". So much going on here. Hope the meal next week is better than the coffee.

@onewing Well I can't blame that I'm too busy Babs, things are pretty quiet at the moment. Trouble is I make arrangements then don't check the calendar before I think I should be doing stuff! I do get days confused though & have to ask myself what day it is, that's why this project is good for me so I can keep track!

Just look at it as an extra outing.
January 5th, 2017  
Nice spot to wait. I hope you had a fun date with yourself
January 5th, 2017  
Great shot Pat and an easy mistake to make at this time of the year. So many bank holidays it all gets very confusing!
January 5th, 2017  
Oops I hope it was at least a pleasant drive
January 5th, 2017  
Oh my I can only imagine how you must have felt, but I do hope you took advantage and did some shopping
