Lists!

 

Staying organized has always been a challenge for me.  Sometimes I tell myself that a creative mind is messy, but truth is, I'm just messy, period.

I've been making lots of lists here:  shopping lists, to-do lists for me, to-do lists for others who come over to give me some respite time, wish lists...  The lists are old-school, that is, written down on a piece of paper and crossed off (hopefully!) when task is completed.

Even so, I always take a photo of the shopping list before heading to the grocery store.  Those kind of lists are always disappearing once you get to the store!

The most important list:  

Taking care of Dad, there are important things that need to be done throughout the day.  The "Pops Care" daily checklist is segmented into portions of the day to make sure nothing gets forgotten.  It also acts as a record of blood glucose levels, body temperature, and blood pressure readings, and is a helpful reminder of the minutiae of daily TLC.
