Bag is packed and ready for the off, in about an hour's time. Apart from the last documents for reading through. Which are churning their way out of the printer as I type, and I'm also praying the printer is not going to chose now to die on me, as it's sounding horribly terminally sick. (It heard me! It's trying to fool me it's not sick, as it's now sounding a bit hoarse and breathless, but not death-rattly at the moment.)
But, being organised, well before time to go out? Must be important! Well, it is really. This is Most Humungous Discussion So Far Day. With Major Decision Confirmation Day being soon. So, I did have to make sure I had everything with me, and all carefully organised.
On to more interesting matters for now...
It was very reassuring to read, in my comments on the last post, that I'm not the only one with on-line identity issues! Thanks Ian, and Jack, that was helpful. Can't resolve the Twitter issue for you, though, as it's not something I can see any point me getting into, certainly at the moment. But, I can see why you might want a different name there, too.
I, somehow, in my vast music collection seem to have acquired far more copies of Joseph and the Amazing Techicolour Dream coat that even I can use or need! Same with King James Versions of the Bible. I never, ever use it. But, for some reason, whenever an aged member of the family dies, and no-one can think what to do with their Bible, it gets sent to me... Now, I know I'm also the family historian, and I love getting any other bits and pieces that I get sent for the tree, but there is a limit to how many KJV Bibles any one NRSV reading woman can use. (With occasional forays off into the Message, or the Youth Bible, or other translations as they present themselves to me! but, for everyday purposes, NRSV.) There are ten KJVs on my Bibles shelf!
This week coming, after the Bank Holiday as well as being a week where I am not required at any of my regular commitments and where I've mostly got the house to myself, is to be devoted to a Grand Shredding, Clearing, Finishing Up Admin Tasks, All Purpose Sort Out kind of set of activities.
I may well drown in a sea of paper work, and books, and old clothes. Lifeboats may be required. Definitely coffee, cake and chocolate, if nothing else. So, if I'm Missing in Action, that's where I'll be.
