I can't keep track of holidays at all. Last year I sent out a meeting invite for January 1.

Thank god for Outlook, is what. I try to make sure to block off the holidays, because I too have sent out meeting invites for days when the office is closed. "Wow! Everyone is available that day!" Yeah, no.

Birthdays now are Facebook or nothing for me. Although I am trying really hard to remember to order my mother flowers for when I'm out of town on her bday next week. I just tried to call the shop, but there was no answer.

You need a wife, Brenda.

I have to remind DH of sibling and his mother's birthday and all holidays too. Um, that is what calendaring software is for. I wouldn't remember otherwise either. With my memory issues I have always kept everything in one tool or another.

I also would like a wife.

eta: spell check

I highlight holidays on my various calendars (both those that work is closed for, and that I just want to know when they are) which works okay except I seem to have trouble knowing what day TODAY is. It just slips my mind, over and over again so I am almost constantly surprised by thinking "Good lord, it's April?", "Seriously, it's Thursday?", or "Third week of the month? Oops" that sort of thing.

Oh, sure. "That's not until the end of the month. What do you mean, that's next week?????"

Also my calendar just informed me I'm on PTO today and tomorrow? I wonder what that was for. Not gonna happen, regardless.

I refused very early on to remember my husband's parents' birthdays. He can do that himself if he wants to. He is also responsible for Christmas shopping for his family (which means he places an Amazon order on Dec. 20, but that is his problem.)

But we've been talking about the Easter thing for a while. He saw his sister last Saturday and they talked about it. And he STILL didn't realize it was this weekend?

My irregular work schedule makes a lot of stuff really complicated, so I am always double and triple checking 2 calendars and still get screwed up sometimes. I put on holidays (federal + my work, which are not the same) and the kids' school calendars (OMG the complicated) a year in advance (or when they become available, whichever comes first).

Shit, I've ordered Christmas flowers for my grandmother on 12/23. They still get there!

Sometimes I do not understand your life, brenda. Scheduled PTO that you are not taking is incomprehensible to me.

We probably will close the office early today. After work I need to remember to go to the drugstore and also buy some coffee somewhere (probably not at the drugstore, I am too much of a coffee snob for that, although I am also lazy, so we'll see), I think that's all? I hope so.

I'm the scheduler for the family which is a job I resent most of the time. I keep three paper calendars and I'm trying to remember putting stuff in my phone.

That being said, today Grace's nurse isn't coming into work (death in her family and a funeral), the cable guy is coming to install cable, she has a brace fitting at 1:00 and I promised Noah we'd go bowling at 4. Complicated!
