It is a beautiful day. I did not settle on today's topic last night. So far this morning I have straightened the desk a bit more, packed away summer socks, put in a load of laundry. I called Reusch, but no one answered; I will try later. Today's goal is to orient myself in the plan of this paper & set up tomorrow's topic. Writing is not that big a deal: I could put together a sentence or two today. |

I did not organize my work space last night, but I did today. It is tedious to look at papers I don't know what to do with. Since I have not yet written for two hours, I have not looked at the news online, although I did listen to most of a Terri Gross interview on the crisis in Republican leadership. However, I certainly found alternate means of procrastination--a shower, dish washing, laundry, lunch. On the positive side, I complete an antibiotic program today, circumstances beyond our control will prevent Bob and I from going to California in November, and I feel less useless and more focused that two days ago. I just remembered that a daily, two-hours-in-the-trenches plan plays to my weaknesses. Instead, I will complete a discrete part of the plan each day. Today is not over, I still have time to straighten a bit more, read my outline, and review what I have put together already. Today will be a success when I determine what topic to address tomorrow. |

Tonight I will clear a little work space in my office, review my outline, and look at what has been done before. Tomorrow I will write for two hours, which means that I am moving. I will read no news until the two hours writing are finished. Writing two hours a day for nine days will get part I in draft form. I will have finished Part I on Oct 23, Creation Day, which will be fun. |
