2024 Resolution: Schedule or Agenda?

Schedules are usually events fit into a time slot, like a dental appointment. An agenda is still something to do, but perhaps a bit more open ended. After working for years in a world regulated by bells and students and patients with exams, I really dislike – or don’t want – scheduling as a daily event. Agendas give a sense of potential – something to do, perhaps a vague something, perhaps a timed something, perhaps a definite something – but there is much less a sense of obligation.

I like agendas better than schedules!

As with most people, I make resolutions for the New Year, and this is one I struggle with quite often. I don’t think I need to schedule time to paint or sew or whatever. I just need time to do it. Thus, this year I have determined that 2024 is The Year of the Agenda.

And what does this mean?

Simply every other day I will change my choice of something to do on alternate days. Visual Art one day and Fiber Art the next day.

Problem solved.

And so, below, some of today’s Visual Art . . . . taken with the Nikon Z 50mm f2.8 Macro lens.

Beauty in the Time of Covid-19

This is me every morning:  Medusa with her head of snakes. Hopefully I won’t exit this incarnation with beheading, and I will definitely steer clear of men named Perseus.

A professional haircut is out of the question for now.  I won’t even attempt to trim it myself.  Josh says he won’t touch it.  I guess I’ll ride it out and pin it up in the meantime.

Luckily, I don’t go out much in public much these days – certainly not looking like this – but I do have a nice array of hats should I need one.
