What I Do instead of Cleaning Up Squalor, Part 2

Just to give you an idea of what surrounds me:

On the left of my computer monitor screen:  the card for Stern Grove Sundays because I was just writing to Beth about the program for Sunday, July 20, when I may reserve a seat for Annie and friends.  Before I put this back on the (cluttered) refrigerator door:  It's Pupu y los que Son Son and Vieux Farka Toure.

10:59:  I'm walking to the refrigerator now to put it back where it belongs.

10:59 (Still!)  The front page article from the Business Report of teh San Francisco Chronicle "HP's work in Israel could lead to political pressure.  I've already read and highlighted salient parts to share with the cousin who is upset about Presbyterian dis-investment in companies Israel uses in occupying Palestinian lands.

11:03: Something I printed out from TruthOut:   Dahr Jamail:  "What's Happening in Iraq Is the Legacy of the US Invasion and Occupation,"  which includes an interview with Rania Khalek and Kevin Gosztola, and "William Rivers Pitt, "Iraq, Two Bullets and the Long Arc of History."  I'll read them as part of my two-hour reading with tea in the morning before I go to the Y.

11:08:  My to-do list

11:09  A Summer Concert Series 2014 handout I used to write on in Fremont when I couldn't find any paper.  On it I jotted down my dream about my sister and the thoughts, "Everyone is on somebody's else's wave length, never mine"  and "My body is no longer fertile field, and yet the hoeing does seem to go on" and "My queen mother ead instead of cleaning."  That last one was probably prompted by what I was reading in Fremont, Alan Bennet's An Uncommon Reader.  I also did some math--$435 + $38=$473, the amount I should take to my sister on July 5, when we celebrate July 4 with our brother.  (You should have heard our very intelligent friends looking for a calculator so they could figure out what 30% of  $540 was earlier today.  Javier did it in his head.  I did it on paper.)

11:15 PM  A check book I had out to pay the gardeners, who said they'd send me a bill instead.  Hay, I just put it back in the drawer!  Another giant step forward.

11:16  Recipes I printed out from the Internet for "Tangy, Delicisou Vegan Potato Salad" and "A Homemade vegan Mayo Recipe that Will Blow Your Mind."

The lavender soap a friend brought back from France.  I just put it in my top chest drawer.

11:19  My to-do list for this week and next with the World Cup games written in by hand.  Now I need to put them in my computer print out list.  I'll be back...
