Keeping Track

Hey all. I was wondering how all of you keep track of your months. Do you go by every 30 or 31 days, or do you say, OK, I stopped on the 1st, so the 1st is 1 month, 2 months, etc. The last makes sense to me, but I am getting close to that point and wanted to know for sure. It is day 23 right now. Thanks for the input.

That's funny that you ask. Toxictome and I are on the same day and we use the day itself. We had a long discussion about how to calculate it and what day to use and that is what we came up with.

I keep track because it was Feb 1st the day they finally took me to court for my DUI and put me on a years probation.  Mark it on your calendar that will help.  HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ thanks for being part of the forum and part of my life
