Diane, as soon as I write a paper list, I take a photo of it with my phone. Until COVID, I kept all lists on my phone, but then went back to paper when I didn't want to touch my phone in public.

Temperature fluctuations like that are difficult to deal with. Overheated one day and cold the next. Yuck!

I put my lists on my phone, including packing lists for various trips which I keep and copy for trips of a similar length and type. DH is a paper list maker and often loses them LOL. The advantage of a list is so things aren't forgotten, but for me the disadvantage is that once I write it down it is as if my mind purges the information and I can't recall it without the list (so recreating it would be very difficult).

Good luck with that meeting. Wine afterwards may be needed.

It was a great mini-trip and exactly the right length of time with the nice weather. That hotel really pleased us. Sitting on the lawn in the early evening, listening to music and watching young families with their children running around and rolling down the lawn was just precious.

On the thought of going through the whole house and purging stuff: That's what I had to do last year first to get it ready to sell, then for the final purging/packing. It was a bear to do and I felt like I should have been doing it on an ongoing basis 1-2 closets/cabinets at a time over the years so it would have been more manageable. But am I doing that now in Florida? No, of course not LOL.

And I had a Belgium waffle maker too! I think we bought it with some of our wedding funds in 1981. My younger daughter has it now after the house sale last year. She has nice memories of her Dad and I cooking waffles on weekend mornings or sometimes for dinner.

We used walking sticks in grad school. Did studies on them! They really increase your workout! More similar to cross country skiing with the arm movements!
