Implementing HIGBAST

Besides being a flickr junkie, now after only 3 months, I'm addicted to blogging too!

I know you understand: first check the e-mail to see who's commented,
check your counter to see all the details. [Hmmm, from Starbuck's in Seattle —I'm honoured, somebody's paying for public Internet use and reading my blog!
....I should know who that is from Reston, Virginia.... Hello, Reykjavík!
An acute care hospital in San Mateo — he-he, I hope you're on a break 'cause
I'll feel guilty if I'm taking you away from your work!]

Then you have to see what's new on your favourite blogs — that's worth an hour. [Anybody added me to their links this week? There's one...thank you!] Take a look at ideas that have popped up for new posts and crop some photos to go with them. Still know nothing about RSS feeds. Gee, soon it will be time to think about what's for dinner.

This has got to STOP! A little better time management is necessary. If I assign one job or activity to each day of the week, starting with Mondays.....
and stick to it.

House – general cleaning, odd jobs, finish filling those old holes in the stairwell from when the handrail was replaced and re-paint the wall, paint the sewing room and move those stupid corbels up, clean the studio

sewing roomGarden – 4 new hostas must go in, clean the birdbath, re-wire the up-light for the rusty shot-full-of-holes found object 'garden sculpture' (it was moved last year), the usual weeding, etc, etc

woodland garden with rusty found object sculpture
'Tea' – the day to do all the downtown things: bills, banking, library, recycling, and tea with Ute (she'll be phoning , "We should go for tea this week.") Thank goodness for Ute.

Sewing
– piles of fabric, some with patterns pinned on, some cut out (last year!) to fill the empty hangers in the closet. Ute must be getting tired of my wardrobe, too.

fabric pile
Internet – no real website yet after hanging on to 2 names for the past couple of years, no Etsy stuff up for sale on the account I created....get ON with it!

collaged item of great mystery
Art – the Land of a Million Projects. Will start after studio clean-up day under 'House', above. (This gives me an extra day here, doesn't?)

collaged note holder
Blog – hah! that must be today.

Now, in which order?
