Jumbled.
It seems like all my pre-crash plans got jumbled up when my brains got scrambled. I’ve had minor head injuries before - like the time I fell on the floor a few years back - but never hit it with any great force. The doc says we were hit with anywhere from 3-6 G’s (meaning my 10-lb head hit gained 30-60lbs as it hit the van!).
I did a little bit of reading yesterday on methods for coping with short-term memory loss. Most of the methods involve list-making. I like lists. Really, I do. I just have to remember to write things down. Then I have to remember to look at it, when I need to remember!!
There are a couple of broad areas that I need to address in the upcoming weeks:
1) Garden Planning
2) I owe a long letter to Donna
3) Need to organize and inventory the freezers
4) Blog Re-Design (that’ll have to wait til unscrambling comes. php currently makes my headache worse)
5) Meal Planning
6) Better management of our bills and the payment thereof. I want to switch to two bank accounts - one being our “slush fund” for everyday purchases, the other being bills-only. Then I want to set up auto-pay on most of the bills, so that I don’t even have to think about them any more. That’ll have to wait til I’m a bit more unscrambled too.
7) Organization of the tool/junk shelf in the kitchen. We’ve got two shelves over top of the washer/dryer. The night before the wreck, one of the shelves came crashing down. We’ve NO idea why - it’s been there with that amount of weight on it forever - we suspect a cat climbed up and was the straw that broke the camel’s back so to speak. We were going to buy the necessaries for repair the afternoon the wreck happened. Now it’s on hold til one of us can lift more than a pound or two - plus be able to climb up on the washer. Fortunately though the shelf has fallen, I can still get in there to wash clothes!
Several blog posts of a serious nature - witchcraft & the church being primary. I think there was something else that came up and I said I’d write about it… will have to go back and see.
Now - what did I miss?

“I think there was something else that came up and I said I’d write about it… will have to go back and see.”
I think it was about the commies putting fluoride in the water….

Kathi - I’ll email you my garden and freezer/meal-planning spreadsheets so you can see what works for me. Might give you some ideas.
