Chemo brain strikes again

I decided to make some chicken and rice for dinner like my grandma use to make. She would boil the chicken but I took a shortcut and browned it, then baked it while I worked on the rice. Since I did't boil the chicken I needed to use bouillion for the broth. I measured out 3 teaspoons of what I thought was chicken and one teaspoon which was chicken with tomato for a little extra flavor. As I stirred the broth it was dark. I thought the chicken with tomato must have made the difference. I added the saffrom which usually turns the broth and rice yellow. I knew it wouldn't because my broth was dark. I was kind of puzzled until a little light went on. Sure enough when I checked the cupboard I had picked up the beef bouillion. Geez, I guess it didn't occur to me to read the label.

I hope grandma forgives me.

    Aaahhhh yes chemo brain...
    Aaahhhh yes chemo brain... Very entertaining. Sometimes I feel like a total ding bat. My biggest oops was on the last day of my chemo. My husband and kids and I went out to dinner with friends and I felt like a light drink. Well I was looking at the drink menu at their cocktails and nothing appealed so I ended up with raspberry lemonade (probably best lol). My best friend looks at me and says I thought you were going to order a drink and my response was "yeah I was but they all have 3 olives in them?. She burst out laughing. It was 3 olives brand vodka and I thought each drink had 3 olives. Well... The waiter stood there looking at me like i was a total idiot until my friends hubby broke him out of his stare. LOL. He walked away and we all burst into laughter... Oh I have lost my hair too... When I am home I take my hair off and I have set my wig in some wierd places. Nothing like running around saying where is my hair.......
