Anyway, my to-do list has several repeating scheduled items like this contr= ived example:

***** TODO [#B] Lunch date with Sarah at 12pm
=A0 =A0 SCHEDULED: <2009-12-08 Tue +1w>

Or, in English, I meet with Sarah for lunch once a week on Tuesdays.

Now, let's say that Sarah calls on Monday afternoon and says, "Can= we do lunch on Wednesday this week?" and I say "Sure thing."= ;

Now I have a problem. =A0I could shift the date to Wednesday like this:

***** TODO [#B] Lunch date with Sarah at 12pm
=A0 =A0 SCHEDULED: <2009-12-09 Wed +1w>

But that will mean that the following week it will *still* be scheduled for= Wednesdays (specifically Dec 16 instead of Dec 15). =A0I miss my regular l= unch date with Sarah and catch ire for standing her up.

How do I handle situations like this?
It seems like I either need a time stamp "stack" or I need a temp= orary flag that "self destructs" after a prescribed time.
