Hey!
I have a problem. Some people won’t think it’s a problem but to some extent it is. I’ve always had a tendancy to make lists, I can’t even think back to a time when I didn’t do it. Whether it was for items of clothing to pack before going on a holiday, what I have to do in the morning before I leave the house, things that pop into my head as I’m slowly drifting into a deep sleep that must be written down so I don’t forget to ‘Google’ them in the morning. Some of my lists are already engraved into my brain, the things I repeat day after day.
My day usually starts by the unbelievably loud and annoyingly happy tune my mobile alarm plays. I give myself no mercy, placing it on the other side of the room each night so that I am forced to jump out of bed, navigate my way out of the mosquito net and stumble over to the buzzing light which has just disturbed me from the dream that I have already forgotten.
By the time I get there, I kid myself in believing, I should be fully awake… However it’s always so easy to climb back into bed and fall asleep again with the silenced mobile phone in my hand. When I finally realise that I’ve lost half and hour *cough* to an hour *cough* [the coughing doesn't seem to disguise it as well as in speaking :/] and fallen into a slumber, it’s much easier to be wide awake now.
Sitting ontop of the duvet and folding the light sheet I had slept under, the morning list pops into my head and I get into action. If I am the first awake, I get up, I make my bed and open all of the shutters and let Gizmo out. Then I’ll make coffee for everyone, tidy what needs to be tidied in the kitchen and feed Gizmo and Gadget. Having a list makes it happen much faster.
My lists are just simple reminders but there comes a time once in a while, that I take so much longer than I had anticipated to come back to the list and I seem to have forgotten what the text was on about. For instance, after I finish a blog post, I make a list of possible stories that I can write for next time and save it as a draft so I can come back to it later – I was so flustered once when I actually published my list and had to get it off the site… It was funny afterwards.
Anyway, so I clicked onto ‘Posts’ and clicked into the draft which I had saved almost a whole month ago, so you can see why I wouldn’t understand the simple words ‘My foot’ in the least…
This is why lists are actually a problem. Of course, you wouldn’t have heard of the famous foot story because past-me wouldn’t have written to future-me which is now present-me to remind me about the happenings of my foot… but then again I wouldn’t be sitting here being really frustrated by trying to figure it out… I will eventually though!
However my lists will never stop, the constant babbling of rushed writting on a torn piece of paper will always be found around the house or the endless amounts of word documents that I’ve saved with forgotten to-do’s will always be wasting my laptop’s memory. I realised this as I just added another adventure to be written about onto my list, the reminder titled as ‘Those freaky dudes’… I guess I’ll just have to start making my lists more detailed 
.
By the way… I still haven’t got my music back from Venetia’s computer… I told you it would be a while

Anyway, hoping to hear from you guys soon!
