Nancy and I have been running together
on the same three days
for..um...22 years? 23? More?
Long enough that
though I know we first shed our shoes,
for a block or so,
in 2010,
the doing is just...what we do.

The rhythms of yarn-making are also so fully integrated
that though I am trying to buy the odd skein these days

With such a habit driven life
I've got to be super careful about introducing new things

and the days are a little shorter,
the weeks packed just a tiny bit tighter.

But having a structure
even a somewhat fluid one,
provides underlying balance,
so the things I want to do,
generally get done
and it feels good.

Until they don't --and all at once there are too many idea and no space in a day, or a week, for anything-- not only the things I already do but also the bliss of refreshing new things like learning tunes and getting better at drawing comics and writing up that pattern idea and making that thing for that special person and... and... and....
that bums me out.

If its all working -- there is no need for lists.
And if I'm living on lists --
It could be time for a major reassessment.

On the other hand,
It could just be time to step out of the structure entirely.
