Do we all have unusual or quirky behaviors? Or is this normal?

Posted By on June 26, 2025

If we are to be honest … every once in a while we notice quirks in our own personalities and habits. I caught myself this past weekend while my son-in-law Drew and I were putting away the dishes from the dishwasher. He has been around long enough to know where we keep plates, bowls, glasses and cup and was busy helping me put them away while we chatted. I caught myself … TOO LATE … in correcting the exact shelf and location for one of the cupslike it really matters! 

Putting away an odd cup Stacked on the other cup

Yes, I recognize that I have a few eccentricities or perhaps an obsessive-compulsive trait that has me wanting something a certain way? I’ve never thought about it when asking Brenda to put my tools away or put the scissors back where we keep them (I’m convinced she purposely resists) … but when pointing the exact spot I keep a particular odd-ball cup I noticed it.

So sorry Drew, I’ll work on it and try not to be so OCD (although he just smiled and put the cup away where I pointed). 

Edit Add: Since I’m eating lunch and glancing at a few photo of my granddaughters since I’m missing them after last week — but I am getting more sleep.
