I shall begin by stating for the record that I didn’t REALLY miss blogging yesterday. I wrote a placeholder where this blog used to reside, but because I didn’t re-import the entries, I lost that one (yes, okay, it still wasn’t a real entry, but that’s so not the point) and one comment.
I have spent the last couple of days (when I’ve had a bit of time at my desk) fiddling around and trying to streamline my whole site and all its extensions. I don’t do this to drive you crazy, truly. (I do, however, wind up driving myself crazy!) I just want everything to be easier to manage and find – for me and for you.
This time next week, it looks like I’ll be full swing into my second job. Yes, to a certain degree Miss Cashier will return. I’m just not sure yet how much. Or if it will even be public**. I might just horde everything to use for fiction. No clue. Right now, caffeine is doing the typing for me, so I can’t fully commit to anything on the screen.
Every time I’m about to start something new, I do this nesting thing that soon-to-be moms do. I run around like crazy with tons of energy trying to clean and organize and finish the BIG To Do list that’s been hanging over my head for a while and I get up early and I make more lists and I devise plans to make everything work and I panic a little and wonder what I was thinking and then sometimes I stop to insert commas into my life (and sometimes full stops!).
I imagine my family looks forward to this kind of behavior, especially since it often involves the always-fun family meetings, wherein I go into great detail to explain why I need their help, and then they agree, and then I still try to do everything myself anyway because that’s just the kind of lunatic mother/wife I am. (It’s not a bad reflection on them – it’s me.)
Anyway, anyway, anyway…something about ducks. In a row. For some reason, all I can think of to wrap this up is “Quack!” Think what you wish with that.
*I didn’t have any ducks to put in a row, so you’ll have to settle for cars. Same thing, right? (Cadillac Ranch, Texas – 2006)
**On this blog, I mean to say.
