When I was just starting school, Mom had me lay out what I was going to wear, and what I needed to take to school the night before. It worked very well, with the exception of when I forgot to tell her I needed something.
Ahem. Oops.
It has been a habit that I have continued. (Both the laying things out, and sometimes the forgetting.) But I am beginning to wonder if I need to put a fridge in the car.
Seriously.
I go to work on Tuesday, and I put out the stuff to take to Mom. I put my clothes out, to change, once I finish feeding. I have all the foodstuffs for a snack space at the sub.
Hat, vest, purse...
Oop, need to make lunch. Which, I put mayo on. Well, don't need to leave for a bit yet, so I better keep this in the fridge...
This happens nearly every time I make a lunch with a perishable! I get half way to town...

Oh... Crap.
Now, most days I do bring 'emergency money', but that isn't the point. I really need to get some way to have the things in the fridge, unlike Vegas, not STAY in the fridge when I leave. This occasionally happens with eggs that a gal orders, who lives in town.
Now, I put up a note for the eggs, but have occasionally forgotten them still. I have had people tell me that I need to put a string on my finger, rubber band on my wrist, etc., to remind me.
Nope, I remember it's there, oh, when it catches on something at work... Sigh.
I know I can do this, it's not rocket science, (or rocket surgery, as I read on a t-shirt recently), but if I remember one thing, I seem to forget something else...
I am highly tempted to store apples, and granola bars at the sub.
If they didn't get eaten... By someone who is not me.
Meh. I think a brain cell or three are in the back of my brain, just waiting to see if I remember, then when it's too late/far to go back, they spring the trap.
Darn cells, anyway. Maybe a pre "flight" checklist.
If I don't misplace the list...
Do what i do, and what i have trained Brother-in-Law to do -- put your keys in the fridge on a lanyard tied around whatever it is you don't want to forget. You can't leave without your keys, and so cannot leave without opening and looking in the fridge, and finding what you wanted to bring along.
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy. I got you. If I need to remember to bring something with me, I put my car keys under it or in the bag with it. When I'm cursing that I can't find my keys, I remember that I hid them from myself with that object. So, sandwich in the fridge? Put your car keys in the fridge with the sandwich. Need to bring eggs? Put your car keys in or behind the eggs. Before you can leave, you have to remember what you needed to bring and actually go get it because that's where your car keys are. Works for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but I still have this thought of the whole shelf in the fridge with all of my "to go" items set there... eep...
