So far, so good.
Here is my plan. No, not to take over the world. (That one is Sekrit.) Right now I have a few hundred assorted emails that need answering, or maybe tossing if I can convince myself that no, people are NOT still hanging on my words, waiting for a year or so just to hear my sparkling opinion on whatever it was.
1. I am going to TRY to answer today's messages today, and not let them add to the backlog. Sounds crazy, but it just might work!
2. My goal is to catch up this month. So each day I will divide the total of messages to be answered by the days left in the month, and try to answer that many backlogged ones. It's only a few a day, I can surely do that!
3. If I am a good little correspondent, then I will reward myself by posting something new on the blog!
And therefore here I am!
I got up a little later than I meant to today. I had packages to mail, and the PO is only open from 11-1 on Saturday. So the late start means I didn't get them all packaged up, just the easy stuff like books and videos.
Mike went with me to town, and after the mailing was done, we went to the Oktoberfest and walked around trying to hand out voter registration forms. We had done this earlier in the week, at one of the apartment complexes, but I am very sorry to say my flesh is WAY weak, especially in one knee, and climbing up a whole bunch of flights of stairs turned out to be a kind of bad idea. Caro just plain refused to shoot me and put me out of my misery, too! So walking around on the flat was a much more do-able idea, and once again I found a few people who had been MEANING to get registered and just not done it yet, so that was worthwhile.
Damaris and family came by later in the day and invited Mike to go to the rodeo, meaning Caro and I had a sudden child-free night! We decided to take advantage by catching up on some entertainment we weren't quite sure was suitable for Mike. Heh. Yes, we FINALLY watched Pirates of the Caribbean!!
Now I can finally go catch up on the fic my various friends have been writing in that universe!
