Vignettes & Lists / tying dangling ends

[Oh, I should be more clear: these are things done recently, a few things I might do today, and things that might happen in the next couple weeks, possibly… I move very very slowly and have to nibble at life in tiny pieces but, I often make lists as a sort of diary & brain-offload]

Vignettes:

  • ordered 5 white 15mm buttons for an Ichiro Japan baseball shirt (made in China)
  • ordered various sawtooth frame hangers and related hooks
  • some family photos framed + 2 more underway with mat board
  • investigated buying own mat board cutter
  • roasted pumpkin seeds

Also:

  • making soy milk
  • ordering supplies for making 4kg of miso
  • wrote aerogramme to a poet in a car crash (he’s ok but…)
  • wild boar rampaged the compost bins (again, as is their privilege and routine)
  • now made oatmeal and coffee
  • today is grocery order/delivery from co-op

Hoping today/tmrw/etc to:

  • put kura desk on swivel casters
  • assemble packet for Gary Snyder
  • finish a few more Kerouac in Kobe dossiers
  • try a new power adapter on an external harddrive
  • move a speaker to higher shelf
  • maybe a few more mix cassettes
  • book reviews for Amy C & Marc Z

also on list:

  • set up a mic to record “logistical announcements” for 2 podcasts to “reclaim ownership” on itunes (added in 2005 and worried about losing the feed)
  • charge a typewriter-style keyboard for poetry assembly
  • back to hospital on Thurs.
  • schedule a visit with shodo artist

[update]:

  • Mailed aerogram(me)
  • Casters on desk
  • started to clear out a bunch of empty boxes
  • plugged in hard drive and it works (so many back ups from 2015) 
  • Moved the speaker
  • Now filtering soy milk
  • Bit of lunch and the grocery order is next

Yes, I’m doing too much but I hate being stuck in bed so when I’m able to get up and about, I always overdo it and never learn the lesson.

Am I reminding myself? Maybe, I don’t know I’m not very good at this 😞
