Patience may be a virtue, but.....

Maybe it is an overrated one. Patience escapes me. I've been waiting to hear feedback on a flurry of job interviews this week, waiting for test results to see if the lymes levels dropped in my system, very eagerly awaiting a delivery of new rubber stamps from my favorite source and most of all, waiting to hear what I'm supposed to do next with my life.


Early this morning, I had the thought of pulling out a tarot deck and reading for myself. It's been quite some time. Generally, if I'm in full out ADD mode I can't even shuffle a deck. It takes focus to read. I don't use tarot cards in my bedroom- opens too many channels for thought and that keeps me from resting at night.

Also had a thought to do some cleaning, but I got over it quickly. Right now, I'm watching from the bedroom window to pounce as soon as the mail hits the box. If the stamps arrive today, I can finish my project. That would be a wonderful feeling- and once the project is done, I'll feel like getting organized.

The tempo of my days lately seems to be presto and adagio- hurry up and wait. Not my favorite song, but for now, I have to learn how to stay with the orchestra.

Chaos 10, Order 0

If I could find the digital camera, I'd take photos to show the current state of my hovel. Lordy, it is getting the best of me for sure. Hello TLC? Please send out the hoarder's intervention team.

Last trip to Borders, I was browsing through the Fly Lady's books. I like the idea of 15 minute segments. May be just the right ticket- since I have ADD and the attention span of a flea lately. I think I can stick with one task for 15 minutes. Maybe.


In keeping with the upheaval theme, I have a cable company dude crawling on the roof, half my living room torn apart and now, I may have to empty the closet to give him access to a cable wire. The cable company made me switch to digital cable, and since then, the tv is having hissy fits. Yes, I need to clean out the closet. Yes, it is time to find my summer clothes. No, I have absolutely no desire to do this. I just lucked out- no need to empty the closet. And, no need to replace my television set. Huge relief on all sides. I don't have the money to replace the tv set and lack the energy to tackle my closet.

Now, if those wonderful little pile blasting house-elves would come home, I'd be all set.
