Out of Step

You have been there, I am sure.  You have a day that just does not feel right.  You can't quite put your finger on it.  You can't quite remember the date, because it feels wrong. Or the day feels wrong. Or things are just out of sorts.  And you forget what you did early in the morning because too much happened all day.

I had a day like that today.  Work was not especially busy. But I had a meeting after work, and I forgot to send out the reminder earlier this week, so I sent it out at the last minute this morning before I went to work. By the time I got home from work, I forgot all about the meeting until I opened my email.  I did not even remember sending out the reminder this morning.  More to the point, what possessed me to remember this morning that the meeting was going to happen.  

Well, I sort of remember my train of thought.  Next week is book club, and I remembered that I had this meeting this month, and it did not conflict with book club, so I was thinking it was next week, some other day.  Just by luck, I checked this morning.  And  sadly, of 6 people who were supposed to be at the meeting, only one remembered before the reminder.  Is that bad?  Yes it is. 

The meeting went okay.  

I think the reason I feel so out of step is because we had a Wednesday holiday, and while having time off was wonderful, today felt more like a Monday than a Thursday, yet we were following Thursday's schedule.
