Lots of thoughts this morning about anticipation.
My vintage comes out with the earworms.
But the anticipation surrounds flying, how this new arrangement is going to work out.
I’m not waiting my whole damn life to take the flight, but….
I’m hoping this new arrangements will work well.. Eying a Sunday through the next Tuesday trip. Comfortable ride from DC to NOLA, then a nice ride from NOLA to Biloxi.
But if you never look forward to anything, you’re never disappointed, Sport.
So Gen X it’s painful sometimes. Whatever.
But on all this, I should look harder, too, into how much the fancier rides from MSY would be..
Hmm. Yeah, it’d all come out in the wash if you consider time saved, stress, etc.
A certain phrase circles my scarred brain; “just do it.”
There I go again.
Other things swirling around my thoughts. This from Kat Rosefield over at TheFP. Yes, I made her the Jewish “Rosenfeld” at first draft. Unintentional. Or was it?
Interesting intersections with my own experience.
Also following the Iran stuff. I guess a tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz.
But to keep it from happening again, we should totally make a deal with the people who set the mine after killing a ton of their own people. Not doing that makes it a War of Choice.

I’m sorry, but channeling mainstream Democrat talking points on this is almost impossile.
I include JDVP there, too, but he would have been a Democrat in 2006.
I was supposed to free-write today, but I did that yesterday. So new prompts scanned…
What practices help me stay connected to a sense of purpose?
Um. Considering that I’m feeding one of the few compulsions I have in my case of OCD, I don’t know that there’s anything in particular that helps. I’ve been encouraged, and “encouraged” might not be a good word for it, to try to do things that deviate from usual “practices.”
Even this, which I’m not supposed to be doing, tends to fall into a predictable pattern. It’s not good for me, but it’s something to which I become quickly accustomed.
How can I make more space for them in my life?
See above. I’ve been encouraged to do something different, yet here I am.
*checks calendar*
Yeah, I might get bitched atchided. I also do bite my nails from time to time; something else I’m not supposed to be doing.
More tomorrow.
