Out of Sorts

Out of Sorts

Sorting through the dried clothes the other day I was matching socks in pairs. When I reached the last two socks I found they didn’t match. I went back through the socks I had put together and they were all correct. So, the next thing was to reexamine the sock pairs in the sock drawer. I pulled out every pair and examined them twice but to no avail. I could not find the missing pair. With a sigh I gave up assuming some day in the future those two socks might find their mates.

Did you ever have a day like that when things just didn’t come out quite right? Over the Christmas holidays with all of the rush and so many events to attend I found one or two days were like that. I got to the end of the day and things just didn’t match up quite right. My grandmother used to call it being discombobulated. I had to sigh and move forward but was left wondering why I was out of sorts.

Something on your mind? Spout about it!
