I hear tell there are people who don’t use a calendar. MADNESS, I SAY. Do people’s brains retain all the details of…what shall we call it…every damn thing?! Seriously??

My calendar contains multitudes.

It tracks medical appointments and vet appointments and every other appointment under the sun. It’s also where I track meal planning because I’m less than reliable when it comes to knowing how many times I’ve made chicken in a week.

I’ll list chores on there — boring ones like change the air filters, do litter boxes, or vacuuming. I’ll add random To Do lists on the day calendar and take a certain amount of pleasure in deleting those items off as I finish them. On the flip side I get kind of bummed when I bump a list from one day to the next if 9pm rolls around and I didn’t knock it all out.

The calendar also tracks travel. Do people actually plan trips or visits without having a main system for wrangling it? We were recently reminded how things can unravel when stuff doesn’t get put on the calendar. I just…I mean…I cannot with this. Just put it down!!

I also have Home notes which are often things that make my kids roll their eyes. The beginning of April is marked with a big bold Hummingbird Arrivals so yeah, sometimes my calendar looks like that. It’s the document that dances with work and play and everything in between.

Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “calendar.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
