Write about preparing
This one is because I’m preparing to head on my trip.
I need to stuff some clothes in the suitcase, but I think I’m pretty close. Weather is sitll supposed to pop into the eighties while I’m there. Comfortable nights.
(An aside, this predictive text stuff that’s in Edge now; I think Safari does it, too, is annoying as hell. Yes, I often type not looking at the screen, but seeing the word it thinks I should type is bothersome. You think you know what I’m going to say, but you have no idea; okay, Computer? Might be the same in Chrome, but, aside from the email where I’ve paid them not to spy on me, I still tend to eschew products from that totes-used-to-care-about-not-doing-evil company)
But more on preparations other than just travel, I’m trying to work through what I might need to figure out:
Absentee ballot completion, mailing- What I need to do immediately on the house
- What I need to retrieve from it
- How I should approach long-term relocation/storage
- Paying my protection racket for the sheet of paper that lets me keep working
- What to do when I stop working
- Medical stuff for the rest of the year (Neurologists want three MRIs later this month instead of the routine one; I should ask for some something that’ll keep me from twitching; make me sleep)
- Life insurance (I think I can keep paying on the supplemental policy I have with work after I leave…the primary one goes away, but the extra stuff I can keep paying on)
Still, I’m not obsessing about preparing. Everything’s going to work okay. I’m not going to die. I’m not going to go broke.
I don’t know, but maybe I owe a lot of my approach to many things to Bob Zubrin/The Case For Mars.
(Aside: The search results on the book yielded this video. I’ve never done any psychedelics, but I wonder if that’s what it’d be like…)
In that situation, people might well die. With what I’m doing, almost certainly not.
Just Do it. Git ‘er done. Whatever your chosen catchphrase….
