This creates a dictionary whose keys are out of order in terms of dates.

{'Thu Apr 04': ['Weigh In'], 'Sat Apr 06': ['Collect NIC', 'Finish PTI
Video'], 'Wed Apr 10': ['Serum uric acid test'], 'Sun Apr 14': ['Download
Louis CK Oh My God', '4:00pm', 'UPS Guy'], 'Sat Apr 13': ['1:00pm', 'Get
flag from dhariwal']}

Sat Apr 13 is appearing after Sun Apr 14. How do you sort this?
