Dear Reader,
I never know what day it is anymore. I'm on deadline every day, but it's not for the day I'm on. See how confusing things can get?
I'm supposed to write my column at least two days before it's published at the book clubs, so it can get all tidied up and loaded into a software program, in time to show up in your email. So on Monday I'm writing Wednesday, on Wednesday I'm writing Friday, on Friday I'm already into next week. Sometimes things get even more confusing if I'm going on a business trip and I have to write further ahead. Then I'm not in this week, or next week, but in the week after that.
And that's probably why I showed up for a doctor's appointment, two weeks early. When the receptionist asked me what day my appointment was supposed to be on, I told her, "Today, Tuesday."
"No, it's Tuesday, two weeks from now," she pointed out, but I insisted that I'd already traveled through those days....
What day is it? When my husband first saw it in the magazine, a clock that doesn't tell time--it only displays the day of the week, he thought it was a stupid idea. Who in their right mind would need such a thing? (And then he thought of me.)
But I'm an old-fashioned kind of girl and I think I've found an old fashioned solution instead. When I was a kid, everybody wore them, "Day of the Week Underwear." Monday through Sunday, each pair came in a different pastel color and the day of the week was decoratively stitched on the outside left-hand corner.
It's perfect. I'll always know for sure what day of the week it is because my underwear goes everywhere I go.
Want to know what day it is? Hang on a second, let me check.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
