I find that I approach live one day at a time.  As  a result I have inadvertently forgotten things that need to be done until the last minute.

Take today for instance.  I have a PET scan scheduled for Friday.  I vaguely recall the scheduler telling me that I needed to follow a low carb and low sugar diet for the 24 hours prior to the procedure.

Today is Wednesday.  I decided to try to find out exactly WHAT comprises a low carb and low sugar diet.  I found it on a web site (I forget which school, but it was a medical school in California.)

Now I have to buy food for me to eat tomorrow, because there’s very little suitable at the house or at the workplace.  At least I checked today and not tomorrow.
