Question Have Your Days Been Running Together?

Today I looked at the calendar thinking that it was Friday, but it's Sunday? How could I have lost a whole day? This has been happening a lot lately. How could I have lost a WHOLE day??? Actually two. Where do they go?

Are you sure this is not called "aging"?

Maybe I misunderstood you.

Is something shocking about saying it could be "aging"?

It happens to me from time to time. I lose track of a day here and there. I don't forget what I did, it's just that the day names are less significant lately. If you were working to a schedule or had appointments or needed to know what day it was I'm sure you would.

If I lost track of what I was doing for a day or two then I'd worry more.

Do you remember what you did on Saturday???

Wiix, I think that I am with Lara on this one.

I am semi-retired though am still active in science, nurturing, (ghastly word) members of my ex-research group and reading most of the serious literature.

However days go by when I just work in my garden, enjoy the company of the birds and possums, including giving them food handouts and reading for pleasure - nothing of substance in a conventional sense.

It is easy to lose track of the days when I am doing this but it does not worry me .

I lose track of what day it is quite often.

I use the TV guide to give me hints! Certain things only come on during the week and certain things on Saturday/Sunday.

When I was able to work I saw the date frequently throughout the day. Didn't have to think about it. But now.......I find myself looking at the computer screen (lower right corner ) to remind myself what the date is.

Wednesday is an easy day......the garbage and recycling is picked up. My neighbors all put their garbage cans and recycling bins out on Tuesday night so that helps to remind me.

Tuesday is delivery day for my groceries from Nature's Garden Express. It's a great site and delivers fresh fruit and veggies along with milk/eggs/bread.

There are lots of ways to remember the date. You just have to find what works best for you! And pray nothing changes!!

Lara -
I don't lose track of days but have to wear a "day / date" watch and log past and future activities on my cell just to keep track. I carry 3x5 index cards to so I can log everything later. Similar to old school "Journaling"
. I hope that this is anyway helpful for your situation,
Briley
