I should've written a movie review about "Ordinary Love," a movie about a couple's life during the wife's breast cancer diagnosis starring Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville.

But life has other plans, or my brain just didn't do its job.

I'm the kind of person who plans my week. I write everything down in my planner, and I make event reminders on my cell phone's calendar. However, in the last few days my memory is failing me.

I walk into the theater on Wednesday night with my mom, ready to see the movie except I missed the screening two days ago. My face dropped into a humanized version of the shocked Pikachu face meme, but I wasn't really upset.

I was more upset on Valentine's Day when I mixed up a reservation time an hour later. So the restaurant understandably canceled our time, and felt so embarrassed I could've cried.

Luckily in both situations, my loved ones didn't fret, and it worked out for the better. My boyfriend and I ate at our favorite restaurant instead of a chain's new location. And on Wednesday, Mom and I shared a nice dinner together which we haven't done in a long time.

This past week is a great lesson to remember the positives in simple mistakes. Those who really care about you won't sweat the small stuff. But you can bet money that I will be triple-checking dates for months to come.
