It slipped my mind yesterday that I had accomplished something, of a sort. I have been making practice cuts of the Collision repertoire, and I finished a song (I Use to Think) and forwarded it to the drummer last night; I finished another, Free, this afternoon, partly because I’d started it before I I [...]

My day was shot to bits with errands–drive this person here, take this to that person there, go buy these things, and so on. It ended with me driving the girl who came to fix the shower home, half an hour away. I wish I could say it started with me being rousted [...]

Our Christmas Tree came down last night.
Actually, that’s inaccurate. It did not come down last night; I was pulling lights off it until after four this morning, and the bare tree itself, with bits of tinsel still clinging to it, did not come off the stand and leave the house until late this afternoon. [...]

None of us were fully functional today. Sometime late this afternoon, while I was still trying to get myself moving, I mentioned to my wife that I was a bit fuzzy today, and she said she had the same problem–and my son missed the bus going in and coming home, so apparently he wasn’t [...]

For no really good reasons at all, I did not get to bed early on Friday night; in fact, I was so late getting to bed that I did not get up for church, either.
This was probably for the best, though. I had promised my little brother that I would drive out to the [...]

We had company last night. My wife’s crazy schedule means that finding nights when people can visit is weird, and when they come, they always stay late.
For reasons I do not care to detail, it cut my sleep in tiny bits. I lay down around three thirty, was rousted briefly at four, woke [...]

Sometime yesterday we got a call from a state agency who needed to visit with us in connection with one of our houseguests. We informed them that we had one open time this month when everyone involved at this end would be available, and that was four thirty this afternoon. They said it [...]

It happens sometimes–something hits me early in the day that throws me off balance and derails everything I’m trying to do, so I can’t get started. It just happens that today was a rather bad day for it to happen. I had a half rehearsal for Collision this evening–Brittany can’t make it tomorrow, [...]

I got kids on buses this morning, and although I forgot one thing I was supposed to remember (and sat on the sofa trying to think of what it was), the affected kid remembered it.
I’ve also got my ground beef mostly defrosted, I think, in preparation for making meat loaf, which I will do probably [...]

Yesterday was Sunday. You knew that. At the time, I knew it. I was behind on everything, but pressing toward completion, and then I was, I thought, finished. The problem is, my Sunday workload includes file backup and system maintenance, and I’d retired to my room without doing either.
I remembered the [...]
