Later always disappears before you get there.   No more.  No more Later.   And part of that today,  begin finishing Cloths.  The ones kept till later,  waiting to decide.  Time to finish and get them in to the Shop.  There are many things that need Doing.

one of the mornings at the Fairgrounds Overflow Field,  i woke to knowing how i could make a design wall.  Big Enough.  I bought what i needed today,  eye screws,  heavy string.  I look forward to making it tomorrow.

This morning i woke,  filled the kettle.  Lit the stove and made Tea.  All the while being INSIDE a place where i can stand and move about.  Where Tay sprawls on the floor.  I walked some feet and peed in a toilet instead of walking through the field to the far away portaJohn.     Just a few steps and Inside.  No rain.  Opened the door,  let Tay out.  Let her back in.  No leash.

    That’s a big part of it, any event that reminds us how fragile life is, there is no promise of later…only now.

    Welcome Home! I am not a creature of routine, but finding I can accomplish much more if I have deadlines.. so each day I make deadlines, sometimes every hour has a deadline.. because tomorrow never comes. I am glad you will get your design wall.

    oh, one more thing.. I learn so much from this Internet.. just went to look at the weather and found a little icon I didnt know what for, and being so very icon illiterate, it took me to more info, and past info, and showed me about how the bees in Florida were so horribly affected by a hurricane, and how Rescue people brought in food for bees!! Sugar syrup and Pollen!! how great is that!!! after being amazed at how the animals were taken care of in the Fires near you, to think people go as far as remembering the insects too in times of disaster.
