Time Management

This just in from the tooth police: apples have juices that can harm your teeth. So, do not eat apples all day long a, bit at a time, but have one a day. Then, wait an hour and brush your teeth. The part of this that really resonates is ‘wait an hour’. So I need to set the alarm on my cell phone and clean my teeth sometime later on.

In the last six months I have been admonished to not only take better care of my fangs, but also, of all things, my vacuum cleaner! Yep, gotta wipe it gently with a soft cloth in and out after use. A soft cloth. And give it a new bag every two weeks. To suck up my dust and loose popcorn, plus stray oatmeal bits?

Ok, what else? There’s the lenses, which need 25 seconds of careful application of specialty cleaner before being treated to a refreshing stream of luke warm water and placed in a specialty storage solution.

And my clothes, those expensive H & M duds that do me proud: some are now coming with tags about a metre long detailing the care instructions! And of course, there’s the old standby, the car: this needs seasonal treats and treatments plus lots of expensive fuel, plus insurance and mais oui, roadside insurance too, for those times when my Dentster is not capable of performing.

God knows what I should be doing for my computer. Or maybe the keyboard? For my cell phone, the battery needs juicing up, but not too much and please remove the juice-giver from the wall socket, because, after all, we have to conserve the energy.

I figure I need about a 38 hour day to maintain my life in anything resembling tip top status. So for now, I’m sorry to say, I will continue with the 2x daily tooth hygiene. But I will try to eat my apples more judiciously. Or deliciously: for today at least.
