Nothing is riveting! :)

I have a hankerin' for a project that just grabs me and won't let go. I can't seem to come up with one.

I think I need to just revisit some of the things in the mill and discipline myself to get them finished. I have this bad habit of starting and then letting things fizzle. I really should make some submission goals on some of the stuff that's complete outside of tweaking. Editing can be a chore!

Spring is well and truly here. Not to say that winter won't poke a finger in every now and then in a last desperate plea to hold on. But things are early this year I think. The Bradford pears rival the clouds against the blue of the sky. The white didn't have sole sway for very long though. There are leaves on things! We didn't have a very long "moldy branches" season where the buds were popped just enough to make the naked trees look like a science experiment or a specimen from the back of my refrigerator. Sadly though, it will also mean that the redbuds--which are coming into full bloom as well, will be competing with leaves as well. The trees seem to lose a little something when they aren't covered just in their pink buds.

Yellow is everywhere--daffodils, jonquils, forsythia. I've seen some hyacinths (can't spell) and crocus of course. I'm not catching much of a gardening bug though. I want some flowers but I don't want them on the porch this year. I want a small Adirondack chair to sit in to enjoy morning coffee and the daily text. Or to sit in during the evenings and regroup.

I finally want to move again. Sort of. I have this idea that I should walk when I drop Abe off at work and before I pick him up. But then I think I need shoes to keep the knee from screaming at me. Is it an excuse or wisdom?

What an irritation today was. Every time I settled into a routine, here came something unavoidable to knock me off balance. March's goals are receding and I need to get started on next month's website already. The taxes are a must as is Abe's portfolio material. Sigh--if I could get out from underneath those two things I could breathe. Those and getting the writing room together before my dh loses it because of the mess. Justifiably so, I might add.

I need to get back to the routine that Abe's job introduced in the beginning. I am up early and the kitchen and LR seem to stay clean. There is time to do what I need to. I just have to maintain focus and reminders.

Give me a project!!! I would do so well with assignments from editors. I know I would. It's how I work best--tell me what you want and I can deliver.

Not long till the OWFI conference. I'm all signed up with banquet tickets ordered. Can't wait to have them on hand. Dad mentioned it at the wedding--he and Mom are looking forward to the evening. I have a ticket for Jill too. We'll see.

This is such drivel. But they're words. Who knows what can eventually come of them.....
