Time space continuums and just not enough time in the day

We watched the new Star Trek movie last night, and it was so fun! Loved it! Very retro, very good work establishing all of the ties to the old story line. Highly entertaining and enjoyable!

As I was watching it I realized I was also trying to figure out how,  at this point in time, I might be able to miraculously tap into that whole 'time folds and stretches and it's possible (hello, Mr. Spock) to be in more than one place at a time in time'...concept.

Wouldn't that be cool?

Or am I just sucking at the whole life balance pursuit right now?

That may be the case. I'm looking at what needs to happen before this week can end, (500 real work deadlines to meet, none of which can be dropped or heads will roll...ok, my head will roll). Then entertaining Saturday night. Then tons of prep/nesting before Daughter has her surgery next week. I'll be trying to get as much done as possible to ensure she's guaranteed healthy, yummy snacks while she recovers, that the house is clean and comfy, that the freezer is stocked with fast, nutritious meal stuff, that any Thanksgiving prep work is done that can be done. And so on.

I'm whining. I'll stop.

But I really, really could use a mini me right now. An S2. A fiercely organized, very focused ever-energetic slightly smaller (ok a lot smaller) version of moi to pick up the pieces and guarantee nobody is let down or disappointed by me. Ever.

Wouldn't that be cool?

Hello there 48

And where on earth did 35-47 go??? But I'm being overly dramatic. Again. See, four dozen? Not such a bad place to be when you're me. I've done a lot, I've seen a lot, I've raised a family and landed airplanes and docked yachts and landed (then released of course!) a marlin and climbed mountains and run a LOT of miles and loved deeply and long and hard and felt..so much that, surprisingly did not kill me..that I feel stronger and more centered and energized than in a long time. And I'm blessed with more than one person can ever rightly expect in one lifetime. And I now possess the wisdom to observe a nanosecond longer than I would have 20 years ago before jumping headlong into a new adventure. Which means many less mistakes but still the desire to stretch and grow and be better and more open and generally less judgemental and overall more accepting and mostly, mostly, knowing that this gift of life is precious and special and mine to experience any way ...

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

More angst on the unfinished book

Bear with me here, as I'm nearly at a decision point with this project. Really, I am. As I've reread and contemplated writing the finish, then going back and scrubbing and editing like crazy and generally attempting to update a piece I began so long ago, I've become exhausted. Repeatedly. Last night, in a text exchange with Daughter, I explained I'd picked up the manuscript again and was seriously thinking of finishing it. And she replied, 'Mom, you should just start something new. That thing is almost 20 years old now, and you're a completely different person than you were when you started it. Just know that I look forward to a finished project out of you one day, and really, why not go for something more current and stop wasting time on the old stuff you'll practically have to rewrite anyway? ' Out of the mouths of babes, right?
