My brain is like jello, or oatmeal, or something else squishy that isn’t good for a whole lot. I’ve spent most of the last two days just bouncing from one idea to the next, though bouncing implies energy and I have none of that shit. Maybe more like if you were mean and stuck a match under a snail’s ass.
Anyway, here are some random tidbits I’ve come up with…
Now that I’m about to be done with school, it is essential that I completely redo my entire at-home working area. My desk, which has served me quite admirably for more than 20 years, has got to GTFO, like now. Getting a new desk is going to require completely rearranging everything in the southern half of the basement and quite likely the utility room. Hey, I don’t make the rules here.
While I’m at it, I should really probably do a massive purge of damn near everything. The clothes, shoes, nick-knacks, file drawer, random shit stuck in the cupboards – all of it. I know I’ve done all of that within the last 6 months or so, but I need to do it again, like now. Seriously, not my rules.
My friend Wendy came up with this idea for “5 Anythings” that I think is just fab. The idea is that on a regular basis you write down a list of 5 things you would do if time/money/space/etc. were no object. It kind of gets you thinking more creatively about possibilities and it should be interesting to see how the list changes over time. I’m trying to decide if I should make this a regular post/feature thingy here or what.
And then on the FB today I saw this picture and that kind of tied into something I had said to her a few days ago about if you’re carrying too much crap around you won’t have strength when something comes along that you really need.
The good news is that my big project for class is almost done and actually should be done tomorrow. I’ve also got the rest of the assignments pulled out of our manual so that I can get working on them. I want to turn in as much of this shit as possible by next Tuesday. My portfolio has to be done by Friday. YEA!!!
