25 - Buy Calendar

I really wanted to get a calendar like x3 the size on this one but when I measured the available spaces to hang it I scratched that idea and went with this moterately sized one.  I think I will also buy a week one to track meal planning so maybe I will remember to start the soup at lunch or whatever it is I have been slacking with.  It’s difficult with lots of midweek happenings to fix meals.
