Calendar

I'm old school, and I keep a calendar on my kitchen wall. I was just turning mine over for the Start of a new month, and every square was blank, no appointments, lunch dates, or get togethers. Nothing, that's a first. Better luck next month. 🤞🤞🤞

Mine is on my iPad, but is empty too. Just a dental cleaning that either they or I will cancel.

I thought the same thing when I flipped to May. As of today the only item on my calendar is to have Otto (dog) groomed. Not even the usual doctor appointments. Here's to June.

@QVCkitty1 I'm old school too. I keep a large calendar on the inside of a pantry door. Just looked at mine today...and only have 2 dates marked...one for my daughter's birthday and one for my sister-in-law's birthday. I won't be able to celebrate with either of them as we have done in the past....Sad.
We might just postpone until a better time......

I can't wait for my eye doctor to re-open so I'll have a place to wear my new top.

Old school with a wall calendar? I keep two plus a desk calendar with plenty of room to write appointments, bill due dates, bank info, important phone conversations, etc. I would be lost without the deskbook. I absolutely abhor electronic recordkeeping which is odd for someone who worked for years in the computer industry.

I hated to flip the calendar to May -- it is full of wonderful family celebrations. The biggest one is my GD bday which I usually travel home for 2 weeks. Of course, that's not happening☹️

Just told my son when I flipped that calendar it was the biggest "disappointment" thru this pandemic. He told me to realize this is gonna be my we normal for a long time...no visits or family time ...boo hoo😢.

I know I'm not the only one ...

I feel the same way when I look at my calendar, as all the birthdays I have missed so far just makes me so sad. I haven't even been able to go out and buy special cards but luckily I have some extras I can send, so nobody is forgotten. And I'm old school too, I sure need my calendar, or for sure I would forget something!!

I love my wall calender. I get one every year but mine for 2020 is my favorite of them all.

For me, who is old school, it wouldn't be a new year without the ball dropping at Times Square and a new a wall calender. I don't mark on my calendars though; I still keep an old school appointment book and write in that. I do have quite a few notations in May -- when the film Yesterday will be on HBO. Nothing else though.

@QVCkitty1 Funny you said that because I was thinking the same thing. Even April was pretty empty though. I also keep a wall calendar on the inside of the pantry door in addition to my phone's calendar. It's easier in that my husband can see everything listed, and I don't always have my phone on me.
