when in doubt...

...make a list.  Or even if you're not in doubt.  Lists clear the mind, use up paper, and are very calming, when they're not unsettling. Right now, I'm unsettled.  Too many disparate things to do, remember, and neglect.  Anyone who is a list-maker will understand that.  I must do a few- several - blogs about lists.  Right now I am bogging down in them.  BLOG now goes from list to list and day to day.  I think I've already said that a day without a blog is like a day without sunshine.   Almost. It's getting there.  Yesterday was blogless, but the sun still shone, because my daughter was with me.  She's gone now and it's getting murky. Too many things, off the charts.  The nice thing about my blog now is that it's so personal and banal, private and invisible,  that  no one notices or cares whether or not I check in, except me.  I'm on a countdown now and if I'm not careful, I'm going to miss the train.  That's next Saturday, actually, this Saturday.  I am going on a retreat, to write.  I know, I know, I write all the time but for the next month, my writing will have a specific focus, most of it.  I'll still keep writing of course, other things. And that includes my blog.  You know what they say about travel, that wherever you go, you take you with you. So me and my blog, we're joined at the hip now. We'll both be there.
