Thx for the update. I haven't followed Sher's legacy and never paid for anything she offered except for a book or 2 along the way. I might have paid something for the support forum as they ever asked.
Looked at Patty's site. She's been busy, and a success. Cool. As you've learned, social media takes a lot of attention, skills, and even luck. The past 3 days I've kept a very slow and slow profile. Mostly runny nose; COVID negative. And a cough every once and a while. My immune system enforcing a time out to allow itself to reset after so many years of nearly unbearable stressors. Using the time to scan the upcoming annual film festival. 100s of films in lots of genres. I've picked out a set and my partner has hers. Thinking of getting an annual membership to lower the prices, plus I get 5 bags of popcorn as a benefit. Yum. __________________ |

A transcription machine from more than 30 years ago! I'm just sitting here pondering that.

Lots poppin about the place. Finally ultimatumed our handyguy to come and patch and paint our walls. I said, if you're too busy and need to pass, let us know. He wanted the check, but even then he inserted a couple of errands for other projects on the day he was supposed to be here. Good worker, nice guy, and as gently as I could I hinted this is not ideal for his reputation. People think because I will grant a delay or nod when they say something more important is afoot I am not seeing what's going on.
A friend is out of town for a few days so I offered to stay at her place to keep it occupied. She said yes, and today is the start of my stay (till Sunday). Laundry, some dusting, packing, and a [raw] milk run and I'll be all set to take a nap! Tonight I'm at a personal story event then a movie till late. Lots for a single day. __________________ |

Teeth issues persist, but I'm going a cheaper route. I was going to do implants, with the endodontist replacing all the upper teeth in my mouth. I got nervous when I felt that the the dentist resembled a snake oil salesman, and I got a second opinion. The second opinion made more sense to me. One of the issues was that the first dentist wanted to do the surgery while I was awake, six hours with valium and Novocain shots for pain relief. There were others.

I am having a terrible attack of lazies. Today, I'll get my paperwork done. (been putting it off.) Also, yard work - enough to count as exercise - laundry, and start working on the final proof of second edition of Unfamiliar Waters. Does that really sound like a lot of work? It doesn't to me.
Me, signing off. |

I've been doing laundry before I start work on my Work From Home days (when I get up extra early). I was up today at 5:40am, so I got the whites done.
And now I dosing off as I type. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |

Somehow, I managed to volunteer for way too many things. It's not that I don't have time to do them all. It's that I tend to forget stuff when I have to much to do. Like making phone calls. or bringing things I need to bring. Wish me luck.

Hey teamsters. Ms. D. keep at it. I find sometimes its requires 2 or 3 runs at getting something done before I recall everything I need and have it ready when needed. Yes, I do remember to take my memory pill.
I also find that too much of a relaxed attitude lets things slip my mind. This is a true puzzler, because being calm and relaxed feels great, and getting annoyed because I forgot or misplaced something feels horrible. So, self, what's smallest level of attention that feels both relaxed AND tracks the tiniest of details? Lists are a kind of common ground tween the two selves, so I build 1 or 2, sometimes 3 every day. I've been making spaces and it's going great. Just 1 something a day ... a corner, our collection of paper and plastic bags, a box of collected books from the free libraries, or even clean a shelf in the fridge. Every random while I let a day pass with no advances, but I only allow 1 day breaks. When I passed that mysterious line where progress became apparent, my partner got into the spirit of it and we got rid of lots of stuff we'd been contemplating letting go for years. __________________ |
