Thread Name: BS: Womenz Amnesia Question???....
Subject: RE: BS: Womenz Amnesia Question???....
Ok, maybe a log is a good idea if the amnesia is the problem, but I'm getting confused: is it your amnesia, or as the thread title implies, Womenz amnesia, or both?

My Mum kept a little diary of fact-based stuff, e.g. went here, did that. There were only a few lines of space per day so it didn't allow for any more detail, but then she could look back and remember where they were, what they were doing etc. I think it jumped up and bit her later, when she was nearing the end of her life, because she would go back and re-read it and seemed to be living a little in the past, but she was always a reliable source of info about when things happened because she had it all written down.

I started, in my last posting, to write about the house renovating thing, which we have also been doing to a rental property for the past 8 months, and how it takes over your life, but I deleted it because I thought I was rambling a bit. But I know how that really chokes the life out of having time to go out & do fun things.

A calendar on the wall with a note about where you went each time would be a neat reminder of the fun times too.
