Unstructured Time and the Project Queue
As I waver between having nothing to do and too much to do (really, too much to choose from), I'm starting to make lists. All I know now is that I'm not working on the house; I'm taking this summer off from home repair.
Things I Need for Some Potential Projects
There are other things that I've been meaning to work on, too. But there's just so many of them, and it's so hard to choose. Instead I've been spending my time dealing with administrivia (weekdays), shopping for used books and ridiculous clothing (weekends), and fussing around on the internet (always). Maybe next year I'll teach summer school (shudder!) as contractors swarm my house.
