relative normalcy
Funny how things are easier now than they were with Stacey home from work and all the company we had were here. Though Zachary has changed the routine, life is - still - back to a routine. Already, my productivity level is way up again. Woohoo! Simply, it's just easier to get stuff done when you're not trying to accommodate the schedules and random needs of others in the house...especially of house guests.
I FINALLY got my yard mowed today. Ah, the joy of mowing the lawn in 92 degree heat...twice, because it had gotten so long I had to mow at two different settings to get the grass short without having the mower bog down. Good grief. Fortunately, the experience seemed to be allergy-free (this time).
Well, crap. This stuff is already barely blog-worthy. Wish I had something more substantial to blog about. Maybe...
- Might have an opportunity in August to play at a beach retreat for Chad's church in Baton Rouge (retreat in Gulf Shores). That could be fun if I can work out the details.
- The .mp3 player I ordered on 5/17 (which was supposed to be delivered on 5/19) is STILL not here. Apparently, some major ordering snafu actually let me order a backordered item without letting me know that. I'm only holding out because - after rebates - I get a quality 30GB player for only $140. Assuming I ever get it that is...
- Maybe it's Alabama. Maybe it's Decatur. Maybe it's frustration with the status quo, but I find myself becoming more and more 'liberal' about things (by 'liberal,' I mean wanting to see things change in my town, my country, my world, etc.). "Conservative" used to feel like a badge of courage and honor in the past, but now - even when well-intended - seems to be synonymous with out-dated, irrelevant, judgmental, etc. Maybe it's just an issue of linguistics. Maybe it's this book I'm still reading that's just opening my mind a lot.
Maybe I just want to be neither liberal nor conservative, and instead just focus on the mission and actually making a difference in the world...
