Ok, it’s the last day of June, and I’m finally (and somewhat ironically) getting around to the June Monkey.
\nThis time, blork<\/a> and Martine<\/a> wanted to know about “the monkeys on your back… you know, those tasks or chores or one of these days items on your “to do” list that you can never quite get to even though you feel like it’s holding you back.”
\nThis post notwithstanding, I do have a few things that have lingered, some to the point of actually festering, on my to do list. Alors, somewhat thematically:
\n– review my short stories and select one or two to rework
\n– look into publication of same
\n– ditto my play, ‘Brawling Women in a Wide House.’
\n– finish (ten years later) stripping the mouldings in the upstairs hallway
\n– finish (as above) the giprock in the bathroom
\n– paint the bathroom
\n– finally convince Dr. T. that he no longer needs his extremely large amp\/PA thingie, or at least propose that if he knows exactly where it is, without looking, he can keep it another year.
\n– student loan
\n– mortgage
\n– find a job slightly closer to home, or get a jet pack for the commute.
\nI’m sure there are many more monkeys back there, but I’m ignoring them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
