I love that image of sitting in the foyer! I do the same thing. An appointment at 3pm? I therefore cannot start any new thing after 12pm. I can reason with myself to some extent, but what is this? Maybe it's because I hate being rushed. (Although i can be very efficient and productive, I just don't like the my hair's on fire feeling). The opposite of people who think they can finish EVERYTHING in one day. I have a friend who way over schedules, and when she tells me her day's agenda, I think, that's against the laws of physics!

Sounds like me with a list - if the Thing is on the list it must be done asap and be checked off. I actually avoid putting some things on a list so they won't haunt me.

None of these issues are mine. I'd rather be prone one day and have a 20-item checklist the next day. Adrenaline is probably my favorite drug.

Greetings all

Another warm day here. I went to the studio and not many were there. That's because on sunny days like this they are all at the beach. These are not swimming beaches as it's way too cold, but fun to walk on and look for rocks.

So I did a little glazing at the studio and thats about it. Seems like a couple of hours is enough for me. Pretty much everything is enough after two hours.

Yeah CC I get it. The "thing for the day" can be all consuming. My scrabble friend and I have discussed that one can only do one "thing" per day if it involves leaving the house. And yeah I used to have meetings and turn out documents and be on the phone with multiple matters every single day. No more. Today I got the gallery insurance paid over the phone which means spelling my name out and email and all kinds of other stuff and bank numbers and bla bla bla. Then I got the call from the cal tax department to help me figure out our status. Person was helpful and did get it straightened out. But geez how many numbers do we have to have? They gave me four contact phone numbers, transaction number, entity type number (which has changed from when we set up) and who knows how many other numbers. This was the response to me getting so angry that I called our state rep in Sacramento. But it worked and now thats done and tax is paid. I am just computer challenged to start with and crooked fingers make all this even harder.

DD glad school is going well. Hoping that this retirement year ends on a good note instead of last year's WTF.

I have not tried the Chikes drinks but hear good things. One thing I recall being pretty good is health wise protein tomato soup. Not a lot of calories and not sweet. I think I still have some circa 2008.

Liz that museum sounds cool. And a whole new island! I say go for it.

Somehow I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. Usually I feel like I got hit by a truck. Wish I knew why.

We have been watching Bad Monkey which is funy and weird. Also Sunny which is just weird.

Thanks for the Netflix tip Peps. We will check it out. Better than exploding aliens.

I despise having to make accounts and then the inevitable password. I just want to read the article, do the search, buy the shoes... stop making me make passwords.

And make sure the password makes no sense so it cannot be remembered AND do not write that nonsensical password down anywhere!

Ditto ditto ditto re all the login baloney.

We have been watching Bad Monkey too and have the same feelings about it. We started watching it because we saw a little bit of it being filmed in Key West. The tiny segment from that was in the first show.
