A Very Full Plate

The universe is a marvelous thing. I picked up two new clients while I was in Florida and may have a third new client by Monday. I am approaching full employment at the exact time it becomes more of a necessity. Sadly it seems, my sabbatical is really about to end.



There are a few items left to attend to in the cozy cabin. I accosted the AT&T guy at his phone line command center at the bottom of the mountain this morning and acquired the name and number of the boss man whose go ahead is needed to run a new section of buried cable so I can have a working phone. Tomorrow I will go harass the gas company before heading to work. I'll work on the plumbing repairs on my day off. An electrician and a surveyor need to be called.

That's how things may be for the near future. The cozy cabin will get squeezed in somehow or come last on the list.



My duties as assistant gardener, resident handyman and house boy are now etched in stone and more needed than ever. I have one house still struggling to come to life and a second house where constant vigilance is needed to keep it alive. My plate is full.



I tell myself nothing has really changed. There will be something that needs doing seven days a week just like it has always been, only for more people in more locations. No need to panic. Just do what's in front of you and keep moving forward.



I'll need lists. Quite a few lists perhaps.
