Sunday

Twice I ran around the house frantically getting the garbage ready to take out to the curb before the truck got here thinking it was Monday and it was actually Sunday. Last Tuesday, I thought it was Sunday. Once I thought it was Friday and it was Tuesday. Those are just a few examples.

Since I retired, I'm not really sure what day it is anymore. Oh well, there are worse things I could forget.
