Despite having an atomic clock next to my computer that tells me the date, day of the week, phase of the moon and even the time, and despite the day, date and time being displayed in the lower right hand corner on my computer monitor, I very seldom know what day it is.
I get a clue from my pill minder, a plastic compartmentalized gizmo that helps me keep track of the colorful array of pills and capsules that I'm supposed to take every day. It's clearly marked M T W T F S S, but usually I ignore that information and just take the pills in the compartment next to the empty one.
I also get a clue when I walk out to the mailbox, (usually in the rain,) and there isn't even any junk mail. That's likely Sunday, but not always.
Doctor's appointments are carefully marked on our desk calendar but when I ask Carol about them she usually says, “I don't know, what day is it today?” This causes me to go in the den to check the computer and find out.
Paying bills by check also makes me ask, “What's the date today?”
Most of the time though, I really don't care!
