Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Today is going to be a Getting Things Done morning, followed by an afternoon interview. Part of the things had better involve some pre-interview research on the company and work they do....

I forgot my keys this morning, so I've got that going for me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's time for my monthly shakedown of Client #2 to get them to cough up my check now that it's been a week past 30 days. Bless Client #1 forever for turning around invoices in 10-14 days.

Yes, I am playing a video of a pet fountain as part of my research for a water dish for the cats. Don't judge me, I'm trying to figure out if it will be annoyingly noisy.

What I really want is one that will send an alarm to my smartphone if it runs out of water...

I am onerous tasking! Who's with me? I have paid bills, assembled documents to register Casper for high school (!!!) next week, called the pediatrician to request proof of immunization and schedule the 2nd HPV shot for her, and vaccuumed. And done two loads of laundry and one sink of dishes.

I am working really hard not to be overwhelmed by the stuff in my house, which I feel I should make steps towards dealing with today. And I forgot to send in the after-school activity registration forms that were due today, so I am not a total rock star.

Oh my goodness, that would be nice.

I should make an appointment with the vet, get the cat's checkups started. Not really onerous, but i forgot all last week, so maybe i'll get that done today. Also work, of course, which is full of onerous tasks.

Wait, what? Uh uh.

The passage of time gobsmacks me again.

I had the glimmer of an idea last night as I was trying to fall asleep. We know how fast we are moving through time, it's always one second per second, so if Heisenberg applies we can never know where we are temporally.

I don't know what to do with it, but I like it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I woke up early, am coffee'd, and getting ready for a full day of freelance work, then the gym this evening.

Oh, and a phone call to get some shit straightened out -- I've made one call and one in-store visit, and I never heard back from them, and it's been 4 weeks. I'm not going to be nice.
