Pack up my dissertation papers for storage
Got the boxes today

and will do this by Sunday night before I go to sleep. I would like to finish it earlier than that so I can put it in storage by Sunday night before I go to sleep.



Declutter as if I were moving 3000 miles across country - what would I spend time, money and energy on to take with me? (read all 90 entries…)
No bankers boxes needed

I thought I would have to spend money on some, but boxes have appeared where I work and I was able to take them. There are about a dozen, and I think they’ll be enough to box up all my dissertation data, drafts, reference materials, committee correspondence, and etc., so I can move it out of my office and into storage. With that done, I’ll be able to get to the other things I need to do for my conversion of a very messy office into a clean and tidy guest room/office.



Write a Western novel. (read all 5 entries…)
The story is in my head

Okay, I’ve done a bit of a shift so that the novel is a vampire Western novel. It came into my head, and I apologize to all the traditional Western afficionados, but I just have to write what’s there. They show up and start living their lives in my mind, and I have to admit – it’s good stuff! Once it’s written, then it will be out of my mind and I can focus on something else. Currently I am consumed by my characters and their actions.
