Fashionably Late

The refined art of being just late enough (5 minutes or so) to give the impression that you are a busy, popular person that was held up with other business.

She arrived at the party fashionably late.

More Anti-D’s

So I went to see my head doctor this morning. She bumped up my head meds 50% then she said she’s really concerned that I might , I dunno, shoot myself or something. LOL! Ok, maybe not in those words but I really don’t think she’s got anything to worry about. I don’t like guns.

I took the day off to go to my daughter’s Pre-K graduation. They were so cute in their navy blue cap and gowns. They sang 2 songs, then got their little rolled up diplomas. Jada can sing waaay better on her own than with 14 other kids singing off key. After the ceremonies, they had a little party with cake and juice boxes. I sat Maya down next to J and she had cake too. We got the whole thing on video and pictures. :)

I’ll post a couple pics later, in a post without mention of head problems to bring it down. lol.

The hurrier I go, the behinder I get

So… mastering this GTD stuff is going to take longer for me than a week it seems. I finally got the email organization down about 90%. (I still tend to leave things in my inbox that I need to get back to instead of just flagging, moving them to @action, or tasking them, but as long as I keep correcting myself, it’s only a matter of time.)

Now, it seems that I have a ton of action and task items and projects, but no working method of getting a clear view of what I have to work on next. It’s all in one big unorganized list of todo’s, red flags, alerts and lists. but there’s too much input for me figure out what’s next. Too much input short circuits my brain. So that’s not a good situation.

Eventually I want to get to the point where I think about these details less, I work out the kinks, it becomes second nature, and I can let all of my brain turmoil go.

attention spam

A condition resulting in a failure to process basic facts or comprehend common knowledge, due largely to having a mind full of useless information.

Kali’s numerous typos were a result of her suffering from attention spam.

On The Laugh Rag

A term used to describe those rare days where everything you say is funny.

Jane was at that special time of the month where everything she said was just hilarious. She was so on the laugh rag.

staycation

A vacation that is spent at one’s home enjoying all that home and one’s home environs have to offer.

Even though I live and work in New York, I don’t always get to enjoy all it has to offer, what with my work commitments, but I sure did have an awesome time here during my spring staycation.
