Charmed, I'm sure

 I was scrolling down YouTube and saw a video title that I thought was “charming mistakes you may be making.” Intrigued, I looked closer and saw it really was “cleaning mistakes you may be making.” Shucks.

But it reminded me of an interior conversation I had yesterday. I had made a nice cup of coffee, and put it on my desk and then went to quickly do something—I forget what. I got distracted and much later I remembered my coffee and realized it had probably gone cold.

“Oh, Jan,” I said to myself, “you are so”—I paused—“cute. What delightfully amusing things you do.” That was not where I was originally headed, but I wanted to be kind to myself.

Good decision. I like the word "charming." It makes me think of when I saw Bette Davis on Johnny Carson and she said "Cha-a-a-a-rming." At least it feels like I watched it and saw it, but I suppose it's possible I saw it later in videos. Anyway, it's quite funny. https://www.tiktok.com/@rickskye/video/6894677140067978502
