Getting Through Tuesday

Very late, last night, I decided to look for another document that had been listed on the retirement papers.  Strictly speaking, I was not required to produce it, as it was just one of several items I could submit as proof of identity.  I don't know what made me decide that I needed to look for that document at 2:00 a.m.  Except, it seemed urgent that I did so.  So, I looked in the folder with the documents and I couldn't locate it! Oh, no!  Where else could it be?  When did I become this disorganized?  Finally, I had to admit defeat - that document wasn't in the file folder, I must have put it somewhere else, but I will look for it later, because I needed to get some sleep! 

This morning, I woke up when the alarm went off, had my coffee, texted with daughter, and made a salad to take for my lunch:

Salad for Lunch

Two types of lettuce (1 red, 1 green), one Mediterranean cucumber sliced, one carrot grated, a handful of grapes, some strawberries cut up, and a handful of raw cashews.  I took the dressing separately and poured it on just before eating. 

I brought the large trash cans in before I went to the office and my neighbor T's daughter saw me and came over to chat for a bit.  The company she works for does business with the office where I work, and she was asking me if I had moved to the new building and so forth. 

I had a fairly busy day at the office and the day went by quickly.

After I came home, I put away the dried laundry from yesterday and did another load of laundry.

Then, I looked through that folder of documents, again, and, guess what?  The document I was looking for and couldn't find last night was right there!  I guess I must have overlooked it when I checked earlier!  I wasn't so disorganized after all!  Probably need better reading glasses, that's all!

Later in the evening, I cooked dinner.  I made a curry with a package of frozen meatballs, sauteed  green beans, and rice, of course, and had it with some of my homemade tomato chutney:

Dinner: Rice, Meatball Curry, Green Beans, Tomato Chutney

Cousin P called in the evening.  The aunt whose husband died last month, suffered a stroke earlier today and underwent surgery to remove a blood clot.  She is recovering, but unable to talk, although the doctors think there's a 50-50 chance that she will talk again.  My cousin said one of our other cousins had spoken to this aunt's younger daughter, earlier in the evening.  She and her siblings are going through so much, right now!

Later, I spoke with one of my friends (she had called while I was on the phone with my cousin, so I called her back) and video chatted with my daughter, although the screens froze, so it was more of an audio chat than a video chat!

Today, I am grateful for:
- Finding my document, after all!
- A sunny, warm day
- A safe commute to the office and back
- Chatting with daughter
- Family and friends

How was your Tuesday?  Do you sometimes look for things and can't find them then, but later, realize it was there, all along?  Or, is it just me?
