I suppose I should get into the habit of being more proactive - five minutes before I go for a shower, set the timer to sweep the bathroom floor, lay out what I am going to wear, and so forth. <br /><br />I never know how much I should tell about myself to strangers or how much I should engage in conversation with them. But it was nice to be complimented on my hair. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-59152015283952530542018-03-07T16:23:25.287-08:002018-03-07T16:23:25.287-08:00I use a timer to keep me on track or I get lost in...I use a timer to keep me on track or I get lost in a world of "but firsts". However, you had a very productive day and I think your "but firsts" helped keep you on track for the big picture. How nice that you got the compliment on your hair from the stranger. I think he would have appreciated hearing how important that compliment was to you. But it's hard to know for sure how people are going to react.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-23364800097321696542018-03-07T11:19:28.345-08:002018-03-07T11:19:28.345-08:00Anne, I hope the "but, first"s aren'...Anne, I hope the "but, first"s aren't too onerous and you get through them quickly.<br /><br />The compliment did boost my morale, I must admit. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28658243561843232252018-03-07T11:16:25.310-08:002018-03-07T11:16:25.310-08:00Yes, some days, the "but, first"s can le...Yes, some days, the "but, first"s can lead to a lot of productivity; but, other days, it can be very frustrating! <br /><br />Yes, I did have a good day, yesterday, didn't I? The compliment really lifted up my spirits! And, thank you!<br /><br />Yes, I told daughter about her secret admirer. She is so oblivious to these things.

It's just a chain of events, isn't it?<br /><br />Thank you! Yes, it was very kind of him to have complimented me. I was tempted to tell him how I had lost my hair due to the chemo, but then, I thought that would be too much! The poor man didn't have to listen to all that! LOL!

Thank you, I am so thankful my hair grew back! Those "but, first"s can be very frustrating, can't they? Especially when they make you forget what you had intended to do!

You betcha. It seems to happen a lot to me. Sometimes it is a good thing because you end up accomplishing far more than you planned, as seems to be the case for you today. Other times it just seems to overwhelm and frustrate you to the point that you never seem to get anything accomplished. <br /><br />It sounds like you had a perfectly wonderful day. You had a good shop at the Dollar Store and getting a compliment from a stranger happens so rarely, you will remember that for a good long time. Your hair is lovely BTW. Great news for your daughter about her "free" internet, and does she know she has a secret admirer at the Pharmacy?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631937559197478236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-81638459112182341282018-03-07T05:49:42.247-08:002018-03-07T05:49:42.247-08:00Your question "Do you, too, experience those ...Your question "Do you, too, experience those "but, first"s made me think of "begat"commonly spelled as beget, refers to an event, action or thing that caused something else to happen and the answer is yes indeed.<br /><br />You do have beautiful hair and I love that a stranger told you so.
