Debbie: When you are doing something and suddenly your wife tells you it is
a week later than you thought it is stress full. My children always did well
when that happened, but that makes you make plans that others don't think
about. You write down things just in case , you leave the garage door open
just in case, you tell others when you go out in winter, just in case.
Paul's leaving notes sounds quite normal. God bless you and your patient
love with him.
