I want to mark a particular event which happens every couple of

I don't want to have to do it with pencil and paper (because I'd
lose it).

Excel (or any other spreadsheet - does Google have an online one?)

Col. A = date
Col. B = event (put a 1 in for event otherwise leave blank)

Then you can get a graph of dates along the bottom axis and value 0-1
along the side axis, with bars of value 1 for each time the event
happens.

As a further refinement - if she was recording, for example, every time
she was ravished by 'spouse' then, instead of using a '1' she could use a
variable number which reflected the quality of the event. g

I don't need a graph for that, there wouldn't be enough cells.

If you really want to know (it's boring) it's about a medical condition I
have and I want to record incidents as a graph so that I can see if they are
increasing or decreasing over time.
