She thought she had
She thought she did Nursing flu like symptoms Spending the day in bed Drinking a ton of water Cuddled under warm blankets Comforting her chills Head spinning round and round Achy back and sore joints She thought she had She thought she did She’d somehow commented Using her ipad in bed when awake On slices that made her smile But, alas, she surprisingly notices on Monday morning Sunday, Day 7 had been skipped How did this happen? She had been so careful Methodical jotting “yes” for each completed day On the tiny standing calendar by her desktop computer She pondered the thought, “Should I cheat?” She thought she had She thought she did But, she didn’t She wondered who would really care? Should she just pretend that she hadn’t forgotten? NO! She decided she’d be honest She’d accept her forgetfulness and neglect And she’d move on And write a new slice today And every day this March

A cautionary tale with a happy, poetic ending -- and every slicer's nightnare. I was about to add "especially Late Night Slicers and Pantser" but paused. Could fear of forgetting be part of what drives early bird slicers and Plannners?

Oh the pain! Glad you are staying with it anyway. I thought I had missed a day...jotting ideas in WordPress draft form creates a draft and keeps a time stamp. One of my posts went live and looked a couple days old. Freaked me out for a second! Back to my notebook for ideas.
