I decided to add a new Category to our dotnet list of Categories.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I called it .. “Another Senior Moment”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Back to Costco I went yesterday, September the 9th.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

As I promised to do yesterday, I counted the number of parking places in each aisle. 16 on each side. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So having two aisles closed meant sixty four (64) fewer parking places. Absolutely parking chaos!!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And the new paving construction continued!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, September the 9th, I went to the Costco Administrative Office to try to find and personally thank the young lady who tried to find the Red Grapes in my shopping cart. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

No luck.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I purchased, not one but two, packages of Red Grapes to replace the package I left in my shopping cart yesterday.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

COSTCO.. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

YET ANOTHER SENIOR MOMENT..<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

You must prove you are a Costco Member to enter the store. You do this at a Check In Kiosk at the entrance.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When you check out and pay for your groceries, again you\u00a0 must prove you are a Costco Member!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Having to do this is a bother but they have their rules!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

For convenience, I keep my Costco Membership Card and my credit card together in a separate plastic folder in my billfold.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So having finally gotten a parking place, into Costco I went. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I got to the check in kiosk and reached for my above plastic folder with my Costco Cards inside.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My.. Heart.. Stopped.. !<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Somehow, on the way from our truck into the store, I had lost my two Costco Cards! <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have absolutely, positively, no idea of how they had slipped out of my plastic folder!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Back out of the store “I raced”. There were my two Costco Cards on the pavement! No one had touched them!<\/span><\/p>\n

– – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I got Patti two cartons of Red Grapes. Yes, I got them home Yes, I also got my cane home!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

– – – –<\/span><\/p>\n

And?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I am getting sick and tired and discouraged with all of these Senior Moments.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
