The Art for the Day is: Keeping Flexible
If I were a rabbit with a pocket watch in my waistcoat, I might look at the watch and say "Oh, dear! Oh, dear!"
I've been preparing to have my house painted (inside), because the ceiling is too high for me to manage by myself. I have spent most of the week cleaning off surfaces, and quasi packing, in order to facilitate the painter (so he can get at the walls without having to spend too much time moving things). My house is now a different kind of mess than it ordinarily is, and my painter's mom is in the hospital. My ungenerous side is thinking he's blowing me off, and about to rip me off. My better inclinations are hoping that his mom is OK, and of course an illness in the family supersedes wall paint. So, I'm uncomfortable, and trying to arrange my schedule to be flexible enough to be here if/when he comes, and to have plan B's, because I don't want to waste time. I don't think I'm being altogether successful. Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your

it's who you do best - Every problem has

Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.

How crummy is that! Breathe--the universe probably isn't against--yet. Let me know how it goes.
