Memories... not

[susandennis]

This morning I had two things on my list.  I wanted something at Grocery Outlet and something at Cash and Carry - both of them are just down the street.  I figured once I got all my work finished, I'd pop out and do the deeds.

Only when it came time, I could only remember the Cash and Carry piece.  I went into Grocery Outlet and scored a few good deals but I'll be damned it I can remember what I wanted in there.  On the bright side, I remembered to get toothpaste which I always forget to get.

I would not like to see a picture of my brain - it's probably littered with signs that read "good stuff used to be here".

Sheri and the electrician decided that my juice issue can be fixed with LEDs.  Which is great news as far as I am concerned.  I wanted LED's in the first place but I thought they would be too expensive and too complicated and too, ah, hell, I don't know.   I had zero lights in my ceiling.  Now I have 6 and while I love being able to see, I don't love the heat (which is probably way less than I imagine it is, but still...)

The LED's do turn out to be expensive.  But, we're thinking we can get the same amount of light in the room, with LEDs that work on a dimmer, for about $45 a bulb.  Plus, I'll probably do the two in the kitchen, too.  Sheri's coming back next Monday with bulbs and with the carpenter who need so fix a bit on the desk that's driving me crazy.

Game tonight at 7 and bear knitting coming up.

I have to make lists or I forget shit at the store all of the time...and I'm 35, so I'm afraid of what my brain will be like when I'm your age. ;)

[susandennis]

So... when you get my age, you'll forget to make your list!!! :)

[viridescence13]

Ha, good point! I sometimes still forget things even when they're on my list...

Oh, the stuff is there -- it's just that the retrieval pathways have fallen into disrepair.

Last night on the way home, jwg suddenly realized that he had forgotten to get something he had intended to get while he was in Cambridge during the day. Me: "I saw you write it down." Him: "Yeah, but I couldn't find the piece of paper."

Yep... writing down where you put the list must be the very definition of key indicator.

It doesn't keep me from forgetting to make a list, or looking at the list once I've made it, but it does help:
Evernote

As for LEDs, I'll be looking forward to hearing whether or not they are bright enough.

My 'evernote' is http://catch.com - it's the evernote for lightweights. I usually use it when the number of things on the list gets to 3. Now I know to drop it to 2.

And yep on the LEDs. I told Sheri and the electrician yesterday, I don't care if the lights are cold or warm or whatever as long as they are as bright as the ones they replace. The electrician said that he thought we could even get brighter. Sheri sent a note last night that she'll be bringing a set to try next Monday. Stay tuned.

catch looks pretty good. When I first started using Evernote, it was simple, but they keep adding "features" and it is getting to be a dinosaur. I only use the easy part.

[susandennis]

Catch is dirt simple. I have it on every computer, the Fire and my phone. There is really no excuse for my ever not making a list...

And, even though, they keep adding stuff to it, I still can't come up with even the vaguest reason why I need a pro account.
