Coat, gloves, hat, scarf,
Well shit
Take off scarf
Try to put mask
Take off gloves
Put on mask.
Put scarf back on
Put gloves back on.
Well, shit
Take off gloves
Unzip coat and get keys out of pants pocket.
Zip coat
Put gloves back on
Well shit
Stand there deciding if that urge to pee can wait.
Take it all off.
Barely make it to the pot in time.
Come back to put all this back on
Sneeze inside the mask.
Take off scarf and mask.
Hearing aid pops off with the mask and flies off somewhere
Sneezefest ensues but I can't go find the tissues for fear of stepping on a hearing aid.
Decide to use the mask as a hankie.
Take off gloves
Search for hearing aid.
End up on hands and knees with a flashlight and kitchen spoon to get way back by the baseboard under the hall chest.
put hearing aid back in.
Go blow nose good.
Wash mask and hang up.
Get new mask.
Put gloves back on.
Well shit.
Where did my purse go
Wander all over the house looking for purse.
Find it inside the closet where the flashlight is.
Go out the door.
Where the hell are my keys?
Forget it. I can live without milk.
