It's probably a good thing I'm used to constant flux, it has on occasion
driven me mad but I think I need it, considering several attempts to
have anything above the most basic of basic routines results in more
chaos and me actually going mad. Considering the amount of Stuff going
on in my head I've decided to relegate logging of the banal crap and
reminders to do Stuff to djinn (my iPhone, yes it and both my computers
and my car have names and personalities) which seems to have left the
part of my brain I'm aware of using more room to do some really weird
stuff.
We were recently in Jurien Bay camping over Easter, and at
omg o'clock in the morning I half roused to the sound of rain on the
roof of the tent, and was thinking in Lojban. I have no idea how
accurate it was, I didn't even recognise half the words (actually the
only thing I remember recognising was lo klama, so maybe I was doing a
commentary about getting there. We'll ignore the fact I don't actually
know how to construct sentences in Lojban yet). More recently I had a
fairly vivid dream where I was reading a history book on my fictional
universe. I guess that means AR is coming along really well.
My weeks have been a serious case of Not Working so with the help of Home Routines and Home&Work and
a metric buttload of trial and error and fine tuning and adjustments
I'm currently in a state of Closer to There (which is slightly further
along thab Getting There) and hoping to reach that stage of Mostly
Working sooner rather than later.
Writing everything out really
helped a lot, after looking at what I tend to get up to each week had me
deciding that I honestly do not give a rat's if the house is not
spotless coz I do a hell of a lot! And it makes me happy whereas the
effort required to maintain showroom house is depressing so other people
can get bent.
Having said that my current efforts and rejig (one
of the major ones being allocating a work day in which the kids can run
rampant til my mother in law is at a state where she can take them for a
day, as trying to scramble the required 2-4 hours was either not
happening or resulting in too many late nights depending on the day) is
resulting in both workwork and projectwork getting done and the house
being cleaner.
One of the things I actually put on the
Homeroutines thing was !school blog every Sunday. Which I will need to
kick my sister about, now that I think about it. So while I'm still
stuck on the livejournal, here we go, week just gone, oldest to
youngest, and quite vaguely as the last two nights sleeping late working
on client websites has left my memory currently a bit lacking.
