A Tale of Two Tissue Boxes

This morning I have an idea that makes me laugh. Mentality, how thinking has moods like the phases of the Moon, tidal schedules, low and high pressure systems, aging.

Especially fun to explore is the why we didn’t think of that sooner.

Tissue. I used one box of tissue at a time. On the sofa, the box is on the coffee table. In the recliner, I move the box to the side table. 

Why? I buy two boxes of tissue at a time. I have no fear of two boxes being opened at the same time. Common sense says one box belongs on the coffee table and the other belongs on the side table. Two boxes. Two places. 

No more getting up to go over and grab the tissue box adds a feeling of luxury to my life. If I had half a dozen reading glasses stationed around my home, then I’d be near delirious with happiness.

  1. I just counted and we have 6 boxes on the go at any given time...one on the end table that sits between us in the living room, one on the dining room table, one on top of the refrigerator, one in my sewing room, one in the bathroom and another in the bedroom. Excessive, maybe, but at least there's always one readily available.
    As for having multiple pairs of reading glasses - the RC used to do that and then STILL never could find his glasses (mainly because there were usually a couple pairs perched on the top of his head and another couple hanging from his shirt neckline). Now he wears them all the time which solved that issue.

      I’m buying more tissue. 😂
      Thank you for the tip on glasses. That saves me some money buying extras.
