In which trek has déjà vu

I was seriously thinking that something was not quite kosher in the space-time continuum this week. There was that strange sense of déjà vu. Perhaps it was just a glitch in The Matrix. Whatever it was, I am trying to get a handle on it and a Wednesday Night Bullet Post seems the only way to fly.

If, indeed, today is Wednesday.

• On Monday morning, I checked the monitoring schedule document emailed to me by the Administrator in Charge of Monitoring Intervals. The ACMI informed me that the monitoring interval would end on Tuesday, March 23rd and that I needed to enter the appropriate monitoring codes before midnight so that warning notices could be generated on Wednesday, March 24th.



• My desk calendar clearly stated that Monday was March 23rd.



• Remembering that the Computer Science Department secretary emailed an updated version of the monitoring schedule, I rooted around in my inbox for a while. Soon, I unearthed the correct email, opened the attachment and learned that the monitoring interval was to end on Tuesday, March 23rd.



• Would you believe that I then consulted another calendar?



• Yeah, I really did.



• The second calendar clearly concurred with the first calendar: March 23rd, was Monday.



• So what happened when I logged in to Blogger tonight to make this blog post? Blogger has a note up at the top of my screen telling me there is a
  
  


• Does this mean that tomorrow is also March 25th?



• Please tell me that I am not the only one who finds this just a wee bit confusing.



• Yes, I checked my calendar again. It told me that today is Wednesday, March 25th and that I should not be taken in my Blogger's inability to add one to the current date in order to come up with tomorrow's date.



• Of course, what with the time change and Mother Nature ignoring the scheduled onset of spring, who can blame anyone for losing their grip on that pesky little numbering scheme known as the calendar?



• I decided this afternoon that I would do something more useful than worrying about the date. I answered Obsidian Kitten's call for a test knitter.



• The Easter Egg Dishcloth is half done.



• If not for scheduling a playdate for this afternoon, Wednesday, March 25th, the Easter Egg Dishcloth would clearly be finished and I would have taken pictures.



• I am not complaining, though: playdates are good and healthy for the Neatnik.



• They are good for Mommies, too, because we get to talk to other grown-up, adult-type human beings for the duration.



• Sometimes, we can even talk about grown-up stuff like philosophy and religion instead of child-stuff like potty training and manners development.



• The kids decorated cookies and cupcakes today and ran around outside for a good hour.



• It was too cold outside for knitting but the kids treated us Mommies to an inpromtptu circus and I wouldn't have been able to applaud properly if I was knitting, now would I?

Well, even if I can't figure out what the date is come morning, I still should finish the test knit some time tomorrow. There might even be photographic evidence.
