Mooving On

Several weeks ago I finished getting my new computer system up and running and since then have spent considerable time reconstructing my image, graphic and affiliate resources.  I also decided to take on refurbishing a website for a dear friend of mine, Christine11.   Generally I don't take on outside work.  Prefering to devote my time exclusively to my own projects and web sites.		a very kewl virtual meeting place.
Today was not such a good day for moving on though.

It has been raining here in Ohio for an interminably long time. Not unexpected.   One of the first things I learned when coming to Ohio 16 years ago was that 245 days a year are either rainy or overcast. Not a happy thing discovery for a boy who grew up in St. Petersburg, on the sunny Gulf Coast of Florida.   and I'm not even gonna get started on how much I hate the winters.

First Things

Wed. May 12th

Every so often a person has to stop for a moment and think to themselves, "What is important?"  so to gauge how most effectively to use currently available time and resources.  and a whole slew of complicatedly complex cranial cracking calculations can come into play during this process.  But; for me at least,
 

Wednesday mornings are easy. 

 
Wednesday mornings I take take out the freaking garbage.
 
I get eight 30-gal, 29 mils thick, black plastic trash bags ( eight is the maximum number of garbage bags I can put out without having to pay an extra dollar a piece to have them hauled away ) out of the back of an old chevy window van that sits rusting in the back yard of my late 19th century, two-story victorian fixer-upper and haul them to front yard where I stack them under the second of three stately maple trees which grow there.
 
I like those trees. They shelter the house from the hot afternoon summer sun.

 
Sat. May 15th
 

The house is in need of work.
Home maintenance and repair aren't first things though.
Not yet. Not this year.
 
Later home maintenance will be a first thing.
I'll drag out the paint brushes and the hammer.
Nails and a ladder. A radio for music maybe. And then I'll spend some hot summer days working on the house.
 
Not yet though.
 
Right now I have bigger problems.
 
I am working at bringing up my new computer system.
Very important to me. A first thing.
 
I am a webmaster. Without my computer
I have no access. Without access:
I have no voice.

 
Sat. May 19th
 

Another Wednesday has come.
Another load of garbage has been hauled out front.
 
Funny that life should be like this:
measured in trash days.
