Jamie's Corner: What Day Is It?

What is Jamie’s Corner? 

Jamie's Corner is a humorous look at life, in particular my life. 

In the movies, I am not the elegant lady that walks down the stairs and charms her guests with grace and beauty. I am the one that trips on her gown, spills wine on her new dress and tries to carry on a conversation with spinach stuck in between her teeth. Years ago, it used to affect my sense of self and make my depression worse. But I no longer see it that way. A writer once told me anything that does not go smoothly in life makes for a good story. I agree. And I have lots of stories.

My story this week is Jamie and What Day Is It?

I play a fun little game called: What DAY is it?

I tend to play this game more around the holidays when my schedule changes due to get-togethers, holiday preparations or the holiday itself.

I wake up in the morning and check the day, the date, and my schedule for the day- like most people. 

Later is when the game begins. 

I might get a phone call, or someone will ask me a question involving the date. 

OTHER PERSON: Are you available Monday at 3pm? 

ME: I don’t know. What day is Monday?

OTHER PERSON: The day after Sunday.

ME: But how many days AWAY is it?

OTHER PERSON: Four days away- the same as every Thursday.

ME: Let me check my calendar. Ok, but which Monday IS it?

OTHER PERSON: The one that says the 8th. 

ME: Are we in March or April?

OTHER PERSON: We are in May.

ME: Well, you could have let me know that.

OTHER PERSON: Are you available Monday May 8th for lunch or not?

ME: For lunch? 

OTHER PERSON: Ugg…Yes, for lunch.

ME: Well, why didn’t you say food was involved? Of course, I’m available.
