calendar

I’ve been trying to combat my increasinly unreliable memory by recording events in my cell phone’s calendar after they happen.

meaning that on the night of May 26th, I went to HEB with Laura, where she bought a puzzle (of a Lionel model train catalogue cover), which we then assembled at her house until around 1:30.

Sometimes I forget to put things in for a few days, until I’m sitting in the autoclave room at work, bored, playing with my phone, and I see that there’s a gap for, say, the weekend of the 5th, so I start at 8am on the 4th and put in: 8, 3, 4, 5:30, 6:30, 7:30, 9:30 then driving, Fort Inglish, Sam Rayburn, Oklahoma, Eiffel tower, cowboy Jesus, Toco, then I45-75-180, Bonham, Bonham, Hugo, Paris, Paris with their times. Maybe later I’ll find a business card from the restaurant and put it in for 8:15.

Eventually I suspect I’ll run out of room or get a new phone and lose all of these things (if I can’t figure out how to transfer them to my computer), but for now, if I want to know what I was doing at 4pm last Saturday, I can check, and find out: Lone Star, tater tots, grilled cheese; Alison, Jefe, Kevin (Lone Star Float House porch).
