I’ve been thinking about what to post. I want to make up for the debacle that was yesterday by posting something long and interesting today. The fact is, I am so drained by the events of the last month that there is little to publish at all. Still, the events of the past month have reminded me of my mortality. I know I cannot merely wait to tomorrow, because there are not an infinite number of tomorrows left.
Today I had 2 hrs to myself for the first time since mid july. You’d think I’d cash the time in on writing and video games. Instead I channel surfed, walked around the house, played with the dog, all the things I don’t ever get to do. I did all the things that didn’t take a lot of brain juice to accomplish. If there is a lesson here it is that the body needs time to recharge. I mean my goal this semester was to be whelmed. I’m overwhelmed–largely due to pushing one thing to the backburner to focus on the next, etc.
So, short of making a resolution I will make an observation. People are more effective when they recognize priorities.
One priority has been dreaming up new story ideas. I have a few stored up and I am close to putting up a wall board where I can show each chapter plotted out and ready to be written. That means I can begin principle writing by mid october. Very nice. Once the other projects are drafted, it is on to the novel work.
Some Thoughts:
- A predominate number of the designers on HGTV fit the gay stereotype. I am not sure why that is. Perhaps being gay, at least in the TV sense means you are fashionable and can put a room together. I guess I am not TV gay.
- Living with an ADHD kid is manageable, so long as you manage their moods and your moods effectively. Easier said than done.
