I need to keep a Christmas decoration detail book
That would help me a lot.
For instance, I put lights on our outside bushes. (Although I think outside is a totally unnecessary word, because who has bushes inside? Unless your name is George.) But this year I ran out of lights with five bushes to go!
What gives?
So I opened some new lights and put them on the bushes. (The outside ones, not the ones named George.)
As I got the decoration tub out for the upstairs tree, I grabbed the container of lights I was 100 percent sure went on that tree.
Except, they don't. They go on the bushes. (No more George Bush jokes. Getting old.)(And I apologize for the reference, which was not funny to start with.)
I remembered that as I was looking at the lights. I then realized why I was short so many.
Plus I keep finding bags of lights. 1 gallon storage bags, filled with lights. Colored lights, white lights.....I don't know why I put them in bags. Maybe they are not LED lights? Or maybe they are LED lights that we did not like? Sigh.......
I need to write stuff down so I remember it next year. And I need to label bags. But where to write it? Create a file on the computer and do it there, then forget the name of the file?
I did not buy paperwhites before Thanksgiving. I have done that for years, but this year I forgot. Need to make a note of that for next year.
By the way, I did buy some today. Lady said they should bloom by Christmas if I plant them right away. I will do it tomorrow. If I remember.
I wish I had saved my annual Christmas letters. The first one I did created quite a stir, but I did not save a copy. That was over 20 years ago, but it was a good letter.
I realize there is just too much for me to remember. I can't do it. Notes don't help, making a note in the phone has not worked, and if I can't remember something from this morning then how can I remember it a year from now?
So maybe a notebook will be my guide. It has to be better than doing what I am doing now.
Peace and Love
