Don't do what I did today! Woke up at 7.30 am, too early to get up with nothing to do so stayed in bed. Next thing, phone went, my son calling just for a chat, he lives over 100 miles away so I've not seen him since Christmas, I looked at the clock, 10.10am, perfect . Chatted for ages, decided to make a coffee then get dressed. Looked at clock. 12.30pm! I had misread the time, slept until almost 12 and missed a Zoom call with a church group - I was the host and scheduled the meeting so it did not take place and when they phoned me, my phone was engaged!
I was so embarrassed when the doorbell went and it was a friend worried about me because I had not opened the meeting - they thought I might be ill or worse!
I'll now be setting an alarm and checking my diary more often! Better to be double booked than forget something altogether!
My son was very sweet though and asked if he could have a couple of things from my Mums house when we clear it as he wants something to remember her.. I did point out that she was not dead, just moved to a Care Home but I was still touched.
