My daughter called at 4:07 to ask where I was. I was standing outside Walmart trying to find my truck. Last Saturday started with my daughter asking whether I could pick up my granddaughter from dance at 4:30. She had a work thing she couldn't move, and I told her I was happy to do it. I love getting those extra twenty minutes in the car with my granddaughter, when she tells me everything that happened that day before she remembers to look at her phone. Then my husband mentioned we were out of the groceries we needed for dinner. The bathroom light had been flickering all week, so I added bulbs to the list. There was a birthday card I needed to mail, a prescription to collect, and the small pile of Saturday jobs that seems to appear every time I think I have an empty afternoon. I went to Walmart just after three. I remember parking near the far end of the lot because the spaces closer to the entrance were full. I remember thinking I had enough time. Inside, I got the groceries first. Then the light bulbs. Then I picked up the prescription, found the card aisle, and stopped to answer a message from my daughter about a change to the dance pickup entrance. By the time I had paid and walked outside, it had started to rain. I looked toward the row where I thought I had parked. My truck wasn't there. I walked the next row, then the one after that. I pressed the key fob, but the rain and the cars coming through the lot made it impossible to hear anything. At first I thought I had just come out through the wrong side of the store. Then I checked the time. It was 4:07. My daughter called and asked where I was. I told her I was leaving Walmart now, because I didn't want to make her worry before I'd worked out what had happened. The truth was that I was standing there with a cart full of groceries, looking at rows of cars that all seemed to belong to someone else. I had remembered the prescription, groceries, bulbs, card, pickup time, and the message about the entrance. The one detail I could not bring back was the one I needed right then. I found my truck twenty-seven minutes later, four rows beyond where I had started looking. My daughter had to leave work early to get my granddaughter, and I drove home with the groceries in the back, more upset than I could explain over something that seemed so small. The rain, wasted time, and being late all made it worse. What stayed with me was realising that I had spent the whole day making sure nothing fell through the cracks for everyone else, yet I had let the one thing that would get me home disappear from my own head. A few days later, I was telling my sister about it. She is the person in our family who always has a spare umbrella and a phone charger in her purse, so I should have known she would have an answer. She opened the Find My app on her phone and showed me a card she keeps in the glove compartment of her car. She said it had nothing to do with being organised or disorganised. It was simply a backup for the small details that are easy to miss when life is asking you to hold onto ten other things. The card she uses is a Spotminders Tracking Card. It's thin enough to sit flat in the glove compartment, recharges wirelessly, and works with the Find My app already on my iPhone. There isn't another app to download or a monthly subscription to add. I put one in my truck the next week. Spotminders had a Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer running, so I ordered enough for my husband's car and the travel bag we both depend on too. I'm still the person who remembers what everyone needs. But I don't expect myself to carry every small but important detail of a full day in my head anymore. P.S. I want to be clear about what the card does. It isn't a live GPS feed, and it doesn't show the card moving in real time. It shows the card's last known location when a nearby iPhone updates it. In a busy car park, that can be the difference between having a place to start and walking rows at random. P.P.S. The Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer is why I didn't stop with my truck. A full day doesn't only happen in one car, and I wanted the same backup in the places our family relies on most. If you are the person everyone calls when something needs remembering, you may want to see what I put in mine. 👉 https://www.spotminders.com/products/spotminders-tracking-cards
