And The Answer Is.......Thursday!

I've been totally lost today - all day. Not that I've developed much of a routine since we moved into the apartment, but what little there's been went out the window this week. We enjoyed that visit with Older Daughter and her kids on Tuesday, as well as our shopping trip yesterday. What tripped my brain into some alternate universe was doing our laundry yesterday when I have been doing it on Thursday.

As a result, I've been totally discombobulated today! I'm not sure how many times I've had to stop and check what day it is. I finally set the timer to remind me to go to my haircut appointment. But the problem was that I set it for the wrong time. I have to at least partly blame Hubby. Normally he's very good at helping me. This morning he mentioned my appointment and said something about it being at 1:30.

And what he said stayed in my befuddled brain. We enjoyed our lunch, I washed up the dishes, and then relaxed with my favorite TV show. I knew the timer should go off about ten minutes before I needed to leave, so I wasn't paying much attention to the clock. I decided to use a commercial break to powder my nose and brush my teeth. I glanced at the clock as I got up, and luckily everything clicked back into place - my haircut appointment was in ten minutes.

Oops. I grabbed some shoes and my purse and headed to the vehicle. The shop is close enough that I can walk to it, if I give myself enough time. I walked in the door at one minute before one. Talk about cutting it close. I'd like to think that my brain will straighten itself out before the day is over. But the end of my afternoon will most likely derail itself too......Younger Daughter left work at noon and is working from home this afternoon so their air conditioner can be checked for the season. She called as usual on her way home from work - except she called at noon instead of 5 pm.

It's getting later in the afternoon, so I think I'll just throw in the towel. Instead of worry about what day it really is, I'll just forge ahead in blissful ignorance and enjoy the rest of the day. I know not to worry about whether or not I'm showing signs of aging. What I'm showing is signs of retirement - and not in that day-to-day work world where I had to adhere to a strict schedule.  Nobody ever said relaxation would be easy!
