Progress since the previous has included acquiring an outside “can” to add to the mesh network and make service at the other house (was my mother’s house)\u00a0 (will be installed on a pole today.)\u00a0 Clearing up software glitches\/inconsistencies in the new hardware, double-checking that new security software is actually installed, not just ‘on the list,” (my fault),\u00a0 recovering function on the old netbook (memory can’t be TOO faulty since I remembered its password!), moving the red table from my study into the middle BR, getting nearly all the yarn into two 45 gal. bins, a lot of T-shirts, winter shirts, etc. into another bin, filling up yet more feed sacks and finally big heavy black sacks with Stuff Not Worth It,\u00a0 thus clearing {some} floor space in three rooms and converting unsorted piles\u00a0 into sorted boxes, for later fine-sorting (IOW, everything in one box is in one category.)\u00a0\u00a0 The closet in the study is now accessible (nothing in front of it or impeding the sliding doors.\u00a0 Closets in both bedrooms are 1\/4 clear.\u00a0 One is pretty clear but one door is off its track AGAIN (it’s always had a tendency to jump off), and the other is still impeded by stuff on the floor.\u00a0 K-\u00a0 leaves next Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0 With Sunday off, and next Wed. off to pack and rest up, we have three days left to work together and a lot of the planned stuff to do.\u00a0 Once she’s gone it’s up to me to keep at the Grand Plan.\u00a0 Sort, discard, package, etc.\u00a0 It’s about time to call in the library that signed up to have my papers later and dump the drafts and dead manuscripts on them, as I really do not have the space for that much paper stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 Until the “manuscript” pile came together in the living room, I had no real idea what those\u00a0 novels in all their developmental forms added up to in cubic feet….they were scattered here and there among other things.<\/p>\n
So I’d better get to it ASAP.\u00a0 Our work schedules overlap, rather than match (innate stuff: I wake with daylight, for instance.\u00a0 No one else in the houses does.)\u00a0 I need breakfast EARLY and am then at peak energy until shortly after noon, when I crash.\u00a0 Pushing for afternoon work time (K is going strong then) is very difficult for me and everything disappears about 4 pm in this season.\u00a0\u00a0 I have used the early hours to mess with the current story about an hour\/day and that’s been coming along nicely now, after being smacked into shape several days ago.\u00a0 Writing euphoria then powers the early afternoon a little.\u00a0 Off to move the car so the new outdoor thingie\u00a0 can be plugged into the other house carport outlet….see y’all on the far side of Kate’s visit and *immense* help, both on the tech side and on the organizational side.<\/p>\n
