I'm behind on laundry. I'm behind on dishes. I'm behind on niggling little projects all over Chez Emerson.
I have too many junk drawers. I have a utility room where you wouldn't be able to find a utility if your ass was on fire. BTW - what the hell is a utility? Why does it need its own room?
These are the things that inhabit the space between my ears. Not useful things like, "Here is my plan for the day. Let's see how many check marks I can make against this list."
Nope.
I think about whys and why nots. I think about human nature and why women can be so mean to each other. I think about the love in families. And how, sometimes, it is goes badly. I think about how I know I would die for either one of my girls. I don't say that lightly. That love is so definite. No quibbling. It is a cement wall.
I think about how lucky I've been in my life. How I have had good people around me for much of it. How I have been able to jump in many many deep ends of pools with various degrees of success. The success isn't always the yardstick I measure with. The jumping is the thing. The jumping really is the thing.
Even now, at my geezerly age (AARP is stalking me peeps! WTH!) I am starting, yet again, a new thing. In the core of me I hate learning new things. At the core of me I love learning new things. CRAZY! lol
Trust me, working retail (a consignment store - working in it, not owning it) isn't rocket science. But already, I am liking the familiarity of it. I have just that kind of disorderly mind that loves making things orderly. It's a sickness really.
Although I could be cleaning my house.

Deb, sounds like you got the perfect job for you, right now. And to hell with a perfectly clean house. Tell me, has any person ever said ..upon their deathbed... Why didn't I DUST more often?
OMG! You'll be working in your house of worship! lol!
I started cleaning my place because I was getting a new desk and needed the room for it. Now that it's in place, my place is going to pot. And I don't care. : )
