I've maxed out. Closed this blog.

This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         I'm going to start making a weekly goals chart, like we do here for WDC. Only this will be everything, not just writing, organizing, reading, and thinking. I consider clutter and reading/researching writing related, as well as attending arts events.

         The other things I need to list include phone calls, letters, bill paying, bank balancing, insurance matters, car repairs, lawn work, etc. My mind is more scattered and I have more things to remember than ever. Having more flexible time does not solve time organization problems. A calendar keeps the appointments. But I need to list things like "Go to post office", "call bank (1/2 hr minimum) to do transfer". check beneficiaries on life insurance, etc. At this point I can't even keep track of when I changed the sheets. I have to list that, too.

         It's not aging alone. It's the absence of stress. I've been operating under heavy stress for so many years, that now when I'm relatively stress-free, I can't function. With some weekly physical or tangible goals maybe I can focus. Then I cab have some loftier, less tangible things in there, too.
