Sunday morning -- French press coffee, yogurt, sleeping dogs and CBS Sunday Morning News and later the two crosswords in the newspaper. Perfection or well pretty dang close in my list of wonderful days. Relaxation and some brain twisting as the crosswords puzzle me! Then a good book ( dresden? hard choices? Evanovich?) but I have to choose . Some knitting might happen and some writing for sure.
This is going to be a run run week. Monday laundry and house chores loom. Tuesday will be grading ,preparation and teaching my class. Wednesday plans include packing and delivering dogs to west fifth to be boarded. Thursday I will drive half way to SD and a brief visit to family. Friday get to Hermosa and Windbreak house. Then drop off the map and concentrate on writing until the 30th and my road home begins.
It might have been wiser to plan this for October---less heat and snakes are denning for the winter, but I also have more time now. Also in SD October can mean SNOW in capitals and bucketfuls. So a summer retreat it is. The mind can be enriched in any weather. So I may be simmering in the heat of creation as well as in physical heat. Here is hoping the creative heat is the hottest of the two.
At the moment there lists to make--- things to pack, groceries to take, papers to fill out and send back( just got to them yesterday) ,laundry to do and meetings to go to. Plans to make for the memoir workshop, shopping to do and of course things that pop up have to be taken care of, and is that not true of life everyday. plans are made and things pop up that alter them. Living is a constant adjustment of what is to what is planned or dreamed.
Time to put some plans in action.
