monday monday.
when was last time these dogs had a bath?
the issue is always, what to do next.
that's a process, that's a recursive process.
10 do first thing on list.
20 figure out what to do next.
30 if not sure, make new list, go to 10.
40 else do next thing on list.
50 if no more items on list, go to 30.
right now, what to do next is drink coffee, write lists, write metadata about writing lists,
as part of planning process, or is it timewasting.
daily task list
get small claims info
mzw copies
gallahue, dentist and midtown
post office
email rock the vote guy
to do list - this week
letter to disciplinary commission
draft mzw update
make to do list for caudill
nake list of stuff to write. go thru old lists, see what's still undone.

post office

this is not a public blog, just a place hwere i can leave myself notes. nothing to see here folks, move along.

But, with the cocounseling model, there's no authority, just a fair trade of advice for advice, and i get to work on my issues too.Those mostly have to do with organization.I have goals, I make plans, I encounter obstacles, I get frustrated, I sink into learned helplessnessand stop planning, just coast through life on the path of least resistance, which right now is a downward spiral.I think the step i'm skipping is the daily revision of the plan, reworking the plan to pursue the goals when unforseen obstacles make the previous plan unworkable, instead of just giving up.Because i have this pattern of giving up when i meet obstacles, I forgot to get married, have kids, get a job, the stuff normal people do.Normal people set the alarm, take a shower, get dressed, drive to work, work, come home, kiss the wife, yell at the kids, watch a little tv, get to bed at a reasonable hour. At least that was the script for dad, and ward cleaver.Me, i wake up when i wake up, wearing the same cutoffs i wore yesterday, have coffee, get online, heat water for the bath, answer a few emails, have more coffee, and it's 9 am, but sometimes this goes on till 9 pm, cuz i don't really have a plan for the day.I have a written to do list some where, [i actually have a whole to do list blog] but i don't have the daily discipline of going through it,checking off item after item, or adding items i'm missing.- get a job.- get paperwork or work under the table.- try to order birth certificate. look for supporting paperwork. in front room at old house.- get a real job. - should i give up my money losing law practice, or try again to make it work?- get married- well at least with gay marriage coming along, my chances are doubled, but so are my chances for rejection, which is the frustration that tends to make me stop planning.- idea: start mail order husband company. cherry pick the best ones.- obstacle - that's silly.- comeback- sure but i'm good at silly. it's an aardvark attribute.- idea: start dating again. ease into it. ask people to coffee. use weirdness factor to scare away the incompatible ones.-idea. get roommates. gradually seduce them into marriage-like arrangement.-objection: no wonder you don't have any friends, loser.-restated objection: that could violate being a good roommate. use caution.- buy a house.- sell old house. - email realtor again- avoid certain neighborhoods. look into rent to buys.- get input from spousal unit if any.- put house in nonprofit trust so they can't take it from me.- live out in the country?-obstacle - rednecks. comeback - choose area with hippies.- live in the city. obstacle - police and thieves in the street.- suburbs. obstacle too expensive, need a car. resolution: stay here for now. look into rent to buys. form housing co-op.if i have any readers, sorry for boring you. this was an example of a litle thinking out loud about goals, plans, obstacles, comebacks.see, this is one of those mornings where, not having a plan, i get up, have coffee, and write, whereever the muse leads. in "the artists way" it teaches to do three pages of this every morning,"the morning pages" as a way of getting past writing blocks and unleashing inner creativity.i crtainly didn't know this post was headed this way - it just built on itself, starting fromive decided i dont like who i am. and i wish i were a better person."I'm gonna go have that bath now - the water is hot - and then i'll either make a list and get stuff done, or waste more time online, not sure yet.later edit:i felt really good after the bath. i'd been sinking into depression for the past few days.i ran around and did a few little projects - i completely forgot till just now i have the hallway blocked off with a stuck bedframe i'm trying to put in the basement. laundry is soaking in the tub.i'm making to do lists. i made my bed - a once ayear actvity.last night i went to the metro and had one drink, exactly one, first since may 15. i'm not sure exactly why, i think it was to deal with the depression.yesterday was good.late as usual to bread not bombs.there was a labor history movie at 3 at iupui, about the textile strike of 1934, i got to sit next to this cute communist boy i've been getting to know.and afterwards got into a great conversation with the guy who put the film on,about doing prison support. he's a rock the vote staffer and has access to a lot of resources.before and after the movie i went hunter gathering around mass ave, got a carload of stuff, shared some with turtle's kids who i ran into.for myself i got a nice velcro watch.for right now i need to - unblock the hallway [X], work on my list, have more coffee [ ], do the first item on the list [x], figure out which 3 to definately do today.
