I'm the family scheduler. We have a calendar but every day Jim asks "do we have any plans today honey"? Who's the scheduler in YOUR life?

He plays tennis every Wednesday and golf every Saturday so I never schedule anything for those days. Elsewise I have Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday to knock myself out scheduling. It's good to have a routine and framework within which to plan things.

    I have some skeletons in the closet Durdle. Jim is a retired hairstylist and when he retired he still had a few folks who'd make appointments and come to our apartment. Of course I'd write it down on the calendar. One day there is a knock at the door and who is on the other side? Someone showing up for a haircut! I looked at the calendar and it was right there! Jim was gone and so I apologized profusely. He was quite good-natured about it. When Jim came home and I told him he was as shocked as I was. Anyway he called the guy, made an appointment and gave him a free haircut! A couple of times we almost missed the ball or dropped the ball. So sometimes I think we get a brain freeze or something. I can't explain it. SIGH. Thank you for your reply. Why do you think you're not good at it? Have you screwed up as bigly badly as I have? Once Jim was napping and we get a knock at the door. Another haircut appointment showed up! Usually Jim will set things up and be ready. I woke him up and he set up while the man was watching with amusement. He is a very good long-time friend so he did not feel insulted. Once again it was right there on the calendar! We check it every day so it's not like we ignore it. Some things just don't click/stick.
