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...
Click...
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...
