Wrong pair of cufflinks ruined my plans for Sunday service today

(Edited)

I woke up today with a mind to run a quick errand for my mom, as the power supply has been unstable for some days at the family house. It has been a ritual for me to come to my family's house for the weekend, and I make it a habit to also come within the week.

Basically, I come home to check on their health and welfare, and I use the opportunity to run some errands to relieve them of the stress due to their age.

Today, I needed to get iced water for the freezer to keep the items chilled. I actually took public transportation back to my apartment, which is some twenty minutes away, as I did not bring my car home, hoping to conserve fuel and limit my movements. In summary, I had to go pick up the car I intentionally left behind at my own apartment to run the errand this morning.

I usually bring my church clothes to my family's house so I can dress for church there, and this weekend was no exception. However, last week I bought an extra pair of cufflinks to add to those I already had. The one I bought had a similar shape to those I had before, which I did not consider.

This morning, after I was done with house chores and set to run out to church with my clothes already worn, I realized I had picked up by mistake two rioting cufflinks. My mood immediately dampened as I would need to go to my apartment, which was some distance away, and return to this environment to attend church service. That would cost me nothing less than 40 minutes of lateness from the two hours of church and, equally, worsen the fuel I was trying to conserve.

I checked round the house and instead of seeing a pair of cufflinks, i saw just one and seaeced for the other to no end. I had to stay home and engage in virtual church service with some unavoidable distractions

I know this won’t repeat itself as "once bitten, twice shy."

I have to be more observant and less in a hurry to avoid such reoccurrence.

I hope our weekends have been good.

Thank you for reading. I would love your comments and contributions 🤗

I will definitely be.
Mistakes do not happen all the time and I have the eyes to see one happens.
It will show us some zeal for his presence rather than overbearing over how we look...

For gods sake you were not wearing some obvious different pairs of outfits or slippers...

Lemme again catch you with flimsy excuse.
Straight spanking.

That sucks man but you should have just gone with them awry! It’s more important to be there than to be perfectly presentable I think!
