DISCLAIMER: Okay, I know this is insane, but I'm really anal and want to give my DOC all this information. Obviously a 5 minute deviation here or there is OK, but I need to make sure these things get done and sort of in this order

Am I missing anything????
ETA: I've edited the original list after talking to Mama and a potential DOC. Here's the new one.
