Okay, I got that correct. So very much commiserate with your dilemmas. My problem is dates, not days of the week, I'm a scheduler/coordinator for the local office of a homecare network. I'm constantly on a different date, actually multiple dates, than what is the actual date. I'm always asking for the date when I write a check at my doctor's office.

Added to that, our pickup alternates biweekly for recycle/garden waste. Hilarious when we looked up and down our street....some cans out, others not, some cans out with blue containers, others out with green. Which is it? Out today or out tomorrow?

I retired from 25 years of teaching in May of this year. Now I'm completely lost. Sunday is my touch point.

Since my sister-in-law was sick on Christmas Day, we just celebrated this Monday. So, yea, it is confusing. I usually go to the grocery store Wednesday and I did today. Next week is Farm Show week so that will change things up.

I do know the date because it's down there at the bottom of the screen, at least as long as I am on the computer, which is no more than an hour or so in the morning.<br /><br />So I'm glad to know all the rest of you are having the same experience, or do we have a mass dementia happening here?<br /><br />Speaking of dementia, we've been worried about our dog, Toby, who will be 13 in April, not that old for a poodle pom mix tho. Our neighbor walks him every morning, long story. For the past few days he has hidden when she comes to get him and Pennylane. We were afraid he was getting confused, as this daily walk has heretofore been the highlight of his existence. This morning I figured it out. He hates wearing his coat. The neighbor thinks he should have his coat on if she has hers on! From now on he can go coatless if it's above zero.<br /><br />This is so simple, Occam's Razor and all that.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187856103924954287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-76809519185947126962019-01-02T10:17:47.858-05:002019-01-02T10:17:47.858-05:00Nooooooooo that is way too complicated!
