Subject: RE: Summer 2014 Exercise the right to declutter!
Have been too busy to get to the squares, but I HAVE to today to have something in hand tomorrow with my friend.

My handyman is here today finishing several projects -- kitchen lighting, back door repair, bathtub surround and bedroom built-in bookcase repair so I can get all those books OFF THE FLOOR!

Finally got the Biolet set up yesterday and in use. All I had to do was put in the initial amount of special mulch and plug it in and get the mulch levelled, etc., but I just didn't have any time until yesterday after I got home from my memoir writers group and some errands.

Sunday I worked on PMFF flyers, handouts, and badges (initial) and got the bios and Welcome text written for the program. Plus laundry and kitchen cleaning and miscellaneous dreary tasks (including transferring a bunch of stuff from the old computer to the computer that will soon BE my old computer...) instead of going to the festivities at the John Paul Jones House in Portsmouth. I just had way too much stuff that needed to be done and I needed to DO it instead of having fun.

Friday's session turned out to be an amazing session. I'd contacted a lot of people to who hadn't been for awhile to remind them of the session because a lot of my stronger singers had gigs or were out of town. Then I got an email from Andy Lamy who is with the New Jersey Symphony and plays Celtic clarinet. He was going to be in town and was planning on coming. I had been afraid it was going to be a sparse session but it turned out to be a fairly highly populated and high energy session. Andy is amazing!

I finally realized about 1:30 on Thursday that it was a grief day. Duh! Sometimes it takes me awhile to figure it out.

Have to keep moving ahead...or at least not going backwards.
