This is what I wake up to. I spend all day adding to it. I am also completely surrounded by a kook’s nest of piles: paper, bills, things to read, things to mail, bills, gadgets and CRAFTS. My jewelry project is currently spilling over the sides of our coffee table and I still average about… 0 completed pieces a day and when the magical window opens, writing occurs.
Maybe if I’d had kids, they’d simply push all this complexity off and out of my life. Maybe I could babysit a hyperactive child once a week. Cheaper than a housecleaner.
My fantasy is to have a personal assistant.
Here’s his listfor the day:
- Clean up my web sites.
- Make me lunch.
- Bring coffee.
- Assemble 25 necklaces according to a single design.
- Unload the dishwasher.
