The News From Here

Well now, that didn’t go quite like I thought. At least that’s consistent. Nothing dramatic, just life and not even bad. I DID get started on the shed – about 3:30 so as you might can imagine it isn’t near finished. The upside is that isn’t as bad as I expected. It’ll take a couple of hours. What I should do is take all the questionable (how I draw that line I don’t know) stuff out of the shed and examine it. Then consider its value carefully. That usually means very little will end up in the dumpster. Yeah I’ll admit to “hoarder tendencies” I guess. I’d describe it slightly different though. I’d describe it as being prepared to deal with things with whatever is on hand. One side says “you won’t need that for a long time or maybe never.” The other side (probably should say one of the outer sides) says “what if I need it and can’t find or buy it.” By the time I sort out all my different perspectives - its break time. You see why I should get everything in question outside to examine it? Yeah / No (what on earth are you talking about). The shed is about 5’ tall at the door and even at the peak of the roof I can’t stand up. I don’t make good decisions stooped over. As the period of time required extends, the quality of decision degenerates rapidly. Oh right! That’s how it gets in such a mess to begin with. “I’ll just put it here for now and get the heck out of here” is what happens. At one time I considered raising the shed with a row or two of blocks but, well you understand, I didn’t have the block and mortar, plus emptying the shed and raising it is a significant undertaking. See good decisions based on bad data. Who’d have ever thought I still be here and re-fighting all those battles. Certainly not the folks who were living in that old shed when we came along. I think that perspective might put things in a different light. I don’t think that Light is self generated. I think I tackle that shed again in the morning.
