I got my days mixed up. I knew it was the 9th but for some reason I thought it was Wednesday. I didn't meet up with my NT friend because of this and I missed out on the video game gathering I was going to go to. I feel stupid for this but my parents said that happens to everyone once in a while and it happens.

I am going to be more careful and pay more attention to my days. I tend to lose track because I don't work and I don't have a schedule anymore. I sleep whenever I want.

But luckily my friend understood and wasn't mad at me. I told her I was upset I had forgot what today it is and she said it was okay and we'll try again next time. But I still can't stop feeling pissed.

It does happen, today I knew something was going down but I did not know what. So I went down to the food bank so I could talk to the other volunteers and they said, "where were you? you were supposed to be here for the USDA delivery!" Glad I missed it though, I got quite a bit done today.

Don't be so hard on yourself LG. I have done that many times in my life. I am not working either, so I try to make it a habit to look at my BlackBerry to check the day, date and time off and on throughout the day. It helps me stay grounded. I also set the clock throughout the day to take Rx, go to the store, pay a bill... lists and calendars are my friends. I write in a journal too. It helps me to remember so many different things. Remember LG, tomorrow is another day.

When I had worked for fast food and retail from 2005 to 2007, I actually had the opposite problem. They basically required me to work every day of the week with randomly scheduled hours made for the convenience of the other workers and for the store's benefit only... and because of this, all of the weekdays seemed identical to me then. I felt like I slept whenever I accidentally wasn't schedule at one of my two jobs, oh wait, that's how it was....

That happened to me too this same week! :lol: I thought it was Thursday when it was actually Wednesday. So I didn't pack my school lunch because I thought it was pizza for lunch. Then I was really mad at myself when the lunch was actually turkey alfredo (I'm a vegetarian.). So I just ordered a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But it happens sometimes. :)
