They say things like 'fire' and 'garbage' and 'appointment @ ----' The shopping list is there, which I add to as I go. Sadly, I don't know if this can even be blamed on chemo any more, having finished with <i>that</i> last February.<br /><br />It is a plan that works, for the most part, however. I always stop and read them on the way out. I remember to take the garbage to the curb, and to keep the wood boiler filled. I don't miss appointments either.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395301831609983730.post-74539803890494215822009-10-24T19:24:53.652-07:002009-10-24T19:24:53.652-07:00Glad you're back.

Aren't those long walks great? Here in our part of Michigan, we have the peak fall colors, very pretty. I went for a long run today (I didn't run at all in Italy-no time but the walks up the mountains made my heart pound).
