Me: The filmfest is over. Since I no longer have that distraction... 1.) I'm limiting myself to purchasing one suit a day. An Italian all-wool suit for $10 is far too tempting. Got one for my friend Nick. It's long in the seam and in the cuffs (too long for me, right for him?). It'll need to be adjusted. However... it'll still be Italian! I spoke to Nick over the weekend and he'll need a good suit for Law School. 2.) Nick and I will need to talk more about him taking over my place for awhile so I can travel. It's only two rooms but includes everything in the rent. Ideal for a student. Which leaves me wondering what I'll do... trip around the world? ...use Costa Rica as a base? ...visit friends? 3.) Tickets... still cannot make up my mind. Must make it up soon. If I snooze I lose. Kalin highly recommended Western Ireland and Cork. I may only have time for Cork. 4.) I have bank issues, postal box issues, issues... I a.v.o.i.d. Therefore, at times my life gets out-of-sync. Time to make checklists... again... 5.) Checklists for trip. Yeah, that too. Checklist to call/keep-in-touch with friends? So many lists. I wanted to send some of my chapbooks off to friends. Having gifts to send was one reason I made them. 6.) Nope. No #6. That would be breaking Scarlett's Law of 5. I hope to be able to report progress on the above this week. The weather has been white, windy, cold and glorious. It may warm up a bit in a couple days. Easier to get around on foot when it's above freezing. May you-all enjoy the last gasps of winter. |
