Ok, I am a curser. Not excessively so as far as I can tell but still–I would like to impress people with intelligent vocabulary if at all possible.
So I have been trying to adopt benign curse words: firetruck and mother trucker are two current favorites supplied by my helpful co-workers. It’s all part of the continuous improvement regimen for 2012. It’s going about as well as (end)Procrastination Wednesday which is to say: not bad, could be better.
Holy geez. 
Moving

Accumulations of life,

Moving: can’t recommend it. In some cases it becomes necessary and even desirable to move on. Some wax poetic about the cleansing benefits.
Hah!
We have a lot interests and therefore, a lot of stuff. After watching the Story of Stuff, I have become very careful about what I buy and how I get rid of things. But the Chez Haiku equilibrium point of stuff is really something to behold–especially when you are schlepping boxes.
It took 10 days for us to move and clean out the old place. That did include moving about 150 plants and a compost bin full of compost. (Please note the “interests” disclaimer above.)
You know you are loved when your beloved willing moves compost for you. Hey, it is the good stuff! Black as night!
The furry family is adjusting. The new yard is apparently pawsome.

Why, you never know what you can make hurt with a little extra work. Okay, in this case it’s more than a little (moving). You would think by now that I would have reduced my positions down to a much more manageable size, but no, … instead I fall into a blissful state of disremembering.

I received 85 emails today. I believe that is this century’s all-time low, aided by a 24 hour+ email outage at work.
It was really an odd day–it seemed like many people were unprepared to function in a non-email environment. I am “lucky” to have so much to do that I barely noticed.
I ordered 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done. It struck me that it’s a lot easier to manage distractions when email is down.
