Oatmeal Overdose

Today started out like any other day…wake up-go back to sleep, wake up- go back to sleep, etc until I finally rolled out of bed. I was going to tell you how I work-out on my Gazelle, take a few pills, make my bed, take a shower, take more pills, turn on the computer, and make breakfast, but I realized that is more information than you need to know, or I want to give out.
However, everything went well until then.
Then it happened!
I lost my mind…I’m Out Of It! Completely BONKERS! Possibly forever? I’ll know for sure tomorrow, when I reach the same moment in time and see if I do the same thing?
I was making my oatmeal and did not realize what I had done until I added water. It was dry and clumpy. I was beyond confused. This was something new to me.
In my mind I redid what I had done, (I think I still had it then?)
It was like reading the previous dialog, then It hit me…
My Betty Crocker Measuring Cup set was sitting on the counter. I examined it. The One Cup cup had crumbs of oatmeal in it.
OH the degradation! Oh the humility! Oh the frustration!
I had put a full cup of oatmeal in the bow, instead of half a cup…two servings instead of one.
I tried to manually remove half of it, but I had already added the water. Oh, what a mess that was.
I concluded I had to use the two servings, then concluded I could not eat that much.
I looked for someone to share it with, but nobody knocked on my door?
I am not sure if I went out of my mind yet, or yet to be?
Suddenly there was a knock!
I looked out through the peep hole and saw several of my students from The University.
I did not have enough for all of them and could not open the door for just one, so I pretended not to be home.
They asked if I was home, expecting me to answer…a trick they used before, that I fell for nomore.
They attempted to break in, but I had the house wired and they all got electrocuted. Just 12 volts, didn’t want to kill them. Actually, I did but it is not allowed where I live.
So here I sit forcing down a double order of oatmeal. It is not as bad as I thought.
