It feels like major chunks of my life are spinning totally out of control. Farpoint is coming closer, and I'm not through even sending invites, much less roughing out the schedule. My job disappears at the end of December (Merry Christmas!) My big research project has nothing to show for it except a bundle of unread books. The fan club I'd once confidently hoped to take official has lost its website and is on the verge of dying from general neglect.
Because much time spent on any one of these problems only makes me feel like I'm trying to avoid the rest of them, I've been doing a lot of little jobs instead - cleaning off shelves, going through papers, dealing with the little "I'll do that someday" piles that have grown, grown dusty, and now reside under a layer of good intentions and cobwebs.
None of this is particularly solving the big problems in my life, but I do feel like I'm getting *something* done by dealing with the little ones. It's at least giving me some bit of courage to deal with the big stuff a problem at a time.
