I get so frustrated, it hurts
This getting old stuff is very tiring.
I tend to get confused with dates and times to begin with, so throw that in with the aging process and you get an accident waiting to happen.
Today, for instance.
I had a physical therapy appointment. I get up, dust the floors, do some chores, tell wifey that my appointment for pt is 12 noon.
Now to be sure I don't miss an appointment, I write them down on the house calendar. (Which is a Rotary Cash Giveaway calendar...great for winning money and writing down important events. It can even be used to track the days of the week! I have some for sale...only $20. Let me know.) I also write them down in my appointment book. This week, because of multiple activities on multiple days, I have also written all my appointments and must do items in a small notebook, under the day. So today, Friday, I wrote down all my appointments.
When I got a call from a museum staffer asking if I could help at a program, I said it all depended on what time because I had pt Friday.
At 12 noon. Which means I need to finish up, clean up and get going. As I am walking to my bedroom I glance at the house calender.
Very clearly it is marked: PT 10:30. It is now 11:15.
I looked at the hospital issued schedule. 10:30. I looked at my appointment book. 10:30. I look at the list of daily activities. 10:30.
There was only one place it was 12 noon, and that was in my mind.
And when I met the museum people, they were glad the program was in the afternoon because I could go since my pt appointment was.....10:30, cause that's what I told them!
I wrote it down 4 times and still got it wrong! Holy smokin' firewood! How many times do I have to write it down?
I know now that after I write it down everywhere, I have to check in the morning. I didn't do that.
Lesson learned. Again.
All this was after I broke the candle holder from Volterra I got for Jackie last year in Tuscany.
Not exactly a good start to the day, but it ended great with a wonderful dinner and time spent among friends.
Now if I could be like Frozen, and let it go, I'd be much happier.
