A “Senior” Moment

Look at how meticulous these three trees are pruned -

I’ve been walking by this house for weeks now and noticed early on how meticulous the yard is maintained. A big fenced in veggie garden, well manicured lawn, nice shrubs and flower beds and oodles of bird houses and other lawn decorations carefully placed throughout, not gaudy looking. 

So, I was not surprised to see an elderly man atop a step ladder trimming these trees the other morning. He certainly has an eye for details, as the three trees look identical, evenly trimmed without a branch out of place -

I was further convinced of his meticulous eye yesterday, when I watched him fetch his trash barrel from the curb and proceed to wash and rinse out the inside. I mean c’mon, NOT many people do this, there’s just a handful of US 😉

He could very well be my doppelgänger!

I asked if he needed any help but he politely declined but I made sure to compliment his work…

Perforations My Arse!

I'm not gonna ask if it's me, as I'm well aware that it's me!

Who gets annoyed and frustrated and has the same issues with the perforation on tissue boxes when attempting to open a new box, see above?!  This happens to me every single time, GRRR

Call it OCD or whatever you'd like but this drives me bonkers.  You can't leave the box looking like that, with the unsightly brown cardboard showing and in the way, Lovey please!

Naturally, since the perforations fail to begin with, removing the brown cardboard is not as simple as you'd like to think, no.  It comes off in bits and pieces and inevitably small pieces of brown cardboard remains.

It's not easy being me sometimes.

I've got a good mind to write the company a stern letter...

Yeah, I've Got Issues...

There's plenty of evidence of my OCD!  Sadly, it everywhere and this is just one example, the chickens and rabbits water jugs all filled and aligned neatly by cap color in the basement by the back door.

OCD Hell

I struggle with messy butter containers like this...

Car Remotes Quirks

Tell me if you do this too or is it just another one of my OCD type quirks:

As you're walking to your vehicle do you repeatedly check your cars remote (key fob) to make sure you have your finger on the correct button to lock or unlock the doors?

My remote has only two buttons - lock & unlock and they're in the same location EVERY TIME. Yet, when I have the keys in hand and I'm making my way to the car, I check the buttons again and again and again. each time positioning my finger on the button I'm gonna use.

Weird huh?! Do you do this? C'mon help me out here and tell me you all do the same thing too, please...
