not quite relaxed

Monday I'm out socialising. And practising my no-driving transport. Uber there, walk home. I enjoy the walk more than the uber, it's more relaxing.

Tuesday, socialising again. I take the easier option -- get a lift there with Deb, Deb picks me up after. As a reward, we have coffee and cake :-)

Each of my friends offers to give me a lift. Thank you!  I decide that I need the practice of independent travel... though a lift with Deb is cheating a little :-)

After a week of blaahhh it's great to get out and chat with friends. I notice that my chat is just a little bit manic. I may not be quite as relaxed as I should be. Not worried about the next surgery but still apprehensive about the results.

Meanwhile, I'm adding bits and pieces to my "life story". Deb suggests I write it "for the kids". Not for our kids, we agree. Perhaps for some future generation... far future. Deb says that she won't read it. Which is good, I don't need to censor what I write. (Of course, I believe Deb :-)

After a few false starts I've found a writing method that works: I think of something worth adding to the book, I write it as an email, post it to a "secret" email address and the email becomes a post on a blog. On that blog, it is posted as an unpublished draft.

Later, I get all those draft posts and add them -- wherever they fit -- into the book. Not many pages yet, but at least it's started.

That approach -- email to blog -- is what I use for *this* blog. Except that emails to this blog are published immediately.

So I'm emailing to this blog and emailing to my life story blog. A very similar approach.. I just hope that I don't select the wrong email address. I'm currently covering -- for the book -- topics such as women I have known and how I feel about them. (Some great memories :-)

If a post appears on this blog... talking about Platonic relationships... or largely unrequited lusts... oops, wrong blog! Though if you like it, perhaps I'm writing about you :-)

And another thing: My failed eyesight is a reminder: there is something nasty in my brain. It's had an interesting effect -- I've finally started to do some of those thing that I should be doing in preparation for death. Writing my life story, for example.

Three years' of saying, thank goodness I have plenty of time to prepare... and now, finally doing some of that preparation!

It's quite satisfying. (Though getting my app written is still... not happening.) Anyway, I'm doing a lot of stuff -- organising -- which is worth doing -- no matter what. And that's something to be glad about :-)
