Speaking of organizing, made it out to barn, studio the other day, couldn’t find project wanted to work on (a “forged passports” turned collaborative secret diary) which initiated a bit of a tidy up for whatever is next / space is super versatile, and everythings on casters
When you have so many pills to sort, you buy the pills sorter in the hardware department not the pharmacy (and the other bins are filled with packets of traditional Chinese medicines)
I quite like organizing things, but in this case, kind of done with it / just a little exhausting and overwhelming / trying to stay on the program though
Up and about a little bit today in my carport workbench making fire starters (use in the wood stove, one light and you’re good to go)
Put one of these nuggets in with some kindling, nestled between split logs, add one spark & you got a nice fire.
“But Dave, where will you get the kindling?” asks no one in particular (regardless, a snapshot)
Here’s my little work area in the carport. Basically make signs, fire starters, and wash, jars, parts & pots. Oh, and bird houses (but is it really a birdhouse if a bird doesn’t live in it?)
Don’t know who if anyone needs to see this, but this is the easy smart way for bundling up a big stack of cardboard without having to do the whole “flip over make a mess” maneuver / start by making a big “4” on the ground with your string, and the rest just happens #Recycling
It’s really satisfying when you slip the rope through the “4” and give a little tug and the whole thing cinches & snugs together.
Anything I can do to make life 2% easier makes it 5% better / so many little tiny routines, being streamlined, nuanced and improved makes a huge difference
While im stalling from dishes & laundry:
my darling entrepreneur wife with a somewhat rare business is at a city-sponsored event for business-owning-women. Even have child care on-site. For those outside of Japan, this is kind of unusual and a positive step, I guess. #proud

Q: “So Dave, how do you make all this cough content when you’re in bed all the time?”
A: “Dictation, C&P, sortganizing-fu, shortcuts, and practising since I was a little dude making ditto machine newsletters”
