It has been a strange but also normal couple of days. I have been trying to get things done, and I have been but everything feels a little out of focus. I guess this is in part because I&#8217;m (regretfully) not working at present. For those who don&#8217;t know, you will need to ask or wait until I tell the tale again. As usual I have over done it during my &#8216;on&#8217; periods but I think that&#8217;s unavoidable when there are things I want to get done but don&#8217;t or can&#8217;t always finish things. I must be getting some things done to completion because I have cleared some things off my to do list and onto my done list. It never feels enough. I&#8217;m told it is and I&#8217;m warned about over doing it but unsurprisingly I don&#8217;t listen. The strange thing is I felt this way before (many times, over the years) but now I can&#8217;t always collect my thoughts. Maybe I should try one of those non-linear to do list tools. If I do, setting it up will be another distraction from what I should be doing. Part of me thinks this post makes as much sense as any one of my other posts and part of me thinks this is less coherent and too open and so I should keep it private.<\/p>\n<p>Update, Saturday AM: Reading it again now a few hours later, what harm can it do.
