In the wake of those computer problems, I am trying to catch up. I would like to think that I am working as fast as I can, but truth be told I’m distracted and derailed and jumbled, as if my internal modem is trying to transmit and receive on too many channels and my internal processor is handling too many tasks. My baud rate is not so adjustable as that of a machine, and although some respect me for my processing power, that’s got its limits also.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I managed to finish Monday’s work; today I am hoping to complete what I should have done yesterday, and maybe get started on the e-mail for today. However, I’m not certain I will accomplish any of that, and I’ve got to make dinner as well (and come to think if it, I don’t think I have a clean roasting pan suitable for the pork loin I just put in the microwave, so I have some dishwashing to do as well). We do what we can of what we must, though, so I’ll be getting to that quickly.
