I always get a little distracted during the holiday season!

Whew! My mind raced ahead and I thought you were going to say there was the trash bag but your purse was gone!
I have been known to toss silverware into the trash and put the paper plate in the sink, so I would have understood such folly.
I hope the rest of your trip was uneventful and now you are stocked and ready for the holidays. I ventured out yesterday because our weather is supposed to start turning nasty.
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

Oh I completely understand the silverware and paper plate thing, Mrsjoe! One time I was heading into a store, carrying a used disposable paper cup and an important letter. On the way to the door there was a trash barrel and a mailbox. For the life of me once I got into the store I could not definitively say that I put each of the items into their intended receptacles! Fortunately I guess I did because the letter was received. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas too!

Thanks, Archer. Yes, I missed the crowds. I live in a seasonal area so it's pretty easy to avoid crowds off season. I think I was one of only 5 or 6 shoppers in the store! Happy holidays to you too!

Next time put a ribbon around the top of the bag. Someone will steal it and save you the trouble.

I did something similar yesterday I had plans to drive one of the seniors to the local food pantry. I was thinking it was at noon. I ran into my new neighbor. Who said that she thought it was 4:30. I would cheerfully transport her there. When we got there at noon, it was closed. No big deal, we'll head back As we were heading back, the new neighbor was walking toward it but I was not able to stop and ask her. When we arrived there at 4:30, there was she was. She had plans to carry two bags plus a Turkey about a mile to our abode. I told her that she needed to put her stuff in the car. I would take her home. I felt bad about giving her bad directions and she walked an unnecessary trip. When she got in the car, she wanted us to all wear masks and have the windows down. The other neighbor carried her groceries to her doorstep. Afterwards, I had plans to drive over to my step-son's place of work to give him a gift certificate. I left my purse at home.

Abracadabra

"Afterwards, I had plans to drive over to my step-son's place of work to give him a gift certificate. I left my purse at home." ... So sorry to hear but after the day you had it's totally understandable to forget one thing while focusing so hard on others. Hope everything turned out OK with the gift certificate. Wishing you peace and joy!

We are women and our minds go lots of different directions! Thinking what to fix for the next meal, what to buy at the store, chasing the kids or grandkids, did I forget something and run back to get it, etc. Men on the other hand just leave it to us........aaarrrggghhh

Back about 1987 I would often get advertising letters with my company name on fake checks viewable through the window envelope.
I decided to quit wasting time opening them so I would throw all with out of state address into the trash because all customers were local pay at that time.
One fake looking check letter came in from New Jersey or somewhere up there so i immediately chunked it and went back to other things.
That night I happened to remember when I delivered the parts we had made for a company here in Texas ---the guy who signed receipt for the parts said rumor was they might close that branch of the company.
Next day I took the letter out of the trash and there was payment for invoice # that I can't remember today. LOL
But I may still have the $1200 that the check was made out for. LOL

I've often wondered how things would have turned out if it went into the next days trash pickup.
I have a few really wild stories on bill collection . LOL
When people forget they they must be reminded of the fact. LOL
But I never got arrested!
Party On!

While on holiday in Italy with my late husband, I threw our passports in the trash by mistake with some rubbish. Very long story short , by some miracle we did get them back, thankfully.

Lol, describes my ex husband to a tea, Abelle! Nobody ever wants to have to go through a divorce, but the bright side of mine was discovering that there are actually men out there who prefer things to be more equal! Wishing you joyful holidays!

So glad you were able to get those passports back ... could have turned into a real ordeal I think! Wishing you peace and joy this holiday season!
