I, also, sometimes, have this other thing that interferes with accomplishing things: I make plans to do something, know the date it has to be done by, think about it three weeks before and know I have plenty of time to accomplish it. Then two weeks, one week before, and maybe five days before, I note that I have I plenty of time to accomplish it — and then it is the day before, the day of, or in a worst case scenario, the day after — before the thought crosses my mind again.
It most often happens with birthdays and anniversaries. This time it happened with something I needed to do before the end of the business year. Luck still being somewhere around me, Leon remembered first thing this morning. Of course, that means, the blog posts I had started a week ago for this week, the extra day of lazing about, the other project for work I had planned to do while dog sitting, well, bye bye to those, and hello business accounting items one, two, and three. Thank goodness they won’t take too long! But then I probably should start the other ones due before the 15th. I mean it will be here before you know it, I mean, before I know it.
Perhaps y’all may want to double check your calendars, too. There’s something to be said, at times, about doing things as you remember than, drop what else you are doing and do them, well, in my case anyway.
I understand completely. I write things on a calendar and then forget to look at the calendar. What a cute doggy picture in your boxing day post.

I’m right there with you. If I don’t do something the instant I’m thinking about it, I most likely won’t think of it again until it’s too late.
I was trying to catch a favorite old movie on TCM over the holidays. Their website has a reminder service where they send you a reminder email the day before the program is supposed to air. That was really of no use to me. I need a reminder service about five minutes before it’s time to do something
