Special Note

Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. I meant to mention it in a special note just like I did my mom, my wife, and my brother this month. (Yes, February is a busy month for birthdays in my family.) I didn’t forget — I knew what day and date it was. I just . . .  missed. I didn’t even realize I didn’t do it until I sat down to write today’s post and saw yesterday’s post. Damn, I hate it when I do that. I can remember something all day long, all week long, all month long, but then I can just miss it at the time I’m supposed to do it.

I can plan to do something at 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday, and I’ll remember it at 1:00 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I’ll think of it every hour from 6:00 a.m. until 12:00. And then I’ll think of it again at 2:00.

Mentioning my dad’s birthday in this blog is like that. I remembered everyone else’s, at the proper time, but then the last one, pfffftt. I miss it. Very sorry, Dad. Happy birthday.

Cowgrit has suggested many times that I should make a note about things to remember. I’ve done that just as many times. The problem is that I forget to check the note and so I still miss. Do I need to make a note to check my note to remember to do something?
