Pop-ups in Outlook. That is how I surmount many, many little memory challenges...like giving the Boo her Claritin every day, changing the air conditioner filter, charging my phone. I put everything, even the most mundane things, even things that I want to do for fun, into my Outlook calendar with pop-up reminders. I was quite distressed when my computer crashed and I didn't have them for a month.

I do the same thing at work. And people just can't believe how good a memory I have. heh, heh....I don't. I have a terrible memory. But with my little friends to help me, no one has to suffer for it.
