Morning Musings
6:20 am Rain. I doubt that the markets will be open today. The cup of coffee feels good this morning.
The first task is to set up a timetable for the coming week. My table for the last week indicated that I was a bit optimistic in my scheduled goals. I was premature in adding items for Exercise and Drawing as I failed to even begin either of these activities. Rather than make a stronger commitment to these, I will drop them for the coming week as I feel that I am still strongly committed to Mathematics and Technology with History and Literature providing a nice respite from this. I am pleased that the Food item is beginning to show.
I have changed my mind and added the Exercise item back into the schedule. Now to work on updating my Food web site. I have added a substantial number of blocks for reading Literature. My primary qualm is that I have not added enough time for either Mathematics or Technology. I consider the table a gudeline and will add additional cells as the mood suits me. 7:10 am
7:20 am I am now working on the Food site. I discovered an efficient way to transfer images to the site from Zoombrowser. Excellent. Done. I have finished the first scheduled item for the day, but am running about a half hour behind. I still have 2 hours for Literature and another 2 for Technology to complete today. (The Technology is scheduled because I have an appointment on Wednesday. But I am going to take a break and have some breakfast before continuing. 8:30 am
3:20 PM I have just completed a solid two hours revising my notes for "The Story of the Stone". I am delighted with the new format. It captures both the structure of the story as well as aiding in keeping track of the numerous characters. Now for another break. It has been raining much of the day. 3:30 PM
