Playing catch-up right now on all the (in no particular order):

1. emails sent to me over the last month
2. friends’ photos on Flickr that I haven’t commented on
3. bills that need attention (mostly good on these)
4. laundry. Oh lord, the laundry.
5. Dog fur. We have three dogs and a vacuum that hasn’t been turned on in three weeks. You do the math.
6. work stuff related to Christmas – supplying shops, doing inventory, filling special orders, contacting avenues for sale that I encountered during the fair, revising literature and finishing up photography
7. updating website. Yes, I am actually doing this. Will announce it when I get it done.
8. reducing the cumulative junk in this house. Things are not where they should be and there are too many of them…..
9. tidying the basement. Katherine and I have our typhoid shots and are going in there!
10. Papers. There are too many papers of all sorts around here. Most are not needed.
11. Phone calls. Finally got this list whittled down.
12. Making things for Christmas – i.e. baking, presents, etc. – haven’t started, really.
13. Volunteer stuff I was supposed to do but haven’t had time to even think about.

If anyone out there is thinking I’ve forgotten about them, please be patient. I’m churning through my backlogged life as quickly as I can. I haven’t forgotten any of you – I’m just swamped!
