Jellyfish
Jellyfish: verb To jellyfish is to drift around without direction, spending large portions of time doing nothing in particular.
Today is a jellyfishing day. I should do a write up about the shipping party. The volunteers were marvelous and exceeded my expectations yet again. There was no work at all left for Friday. The book release party also went very well. I should write about that. I was also watching two of my neighbor’s kids for two days. This made some things easier since my kids had in-house friends available. I should write about that experience. After all the book stuff, I realized that the state of my house was driving me crazy. Instead of coming home and collapsing, I came home and organized. The front room is still full of shipping stuff, but the remainder of the living areas look much nicer. The kids can actually find their toys. I should write in detail about that.
“Should” has remarkably little power over a jellyfish. My thoughts are all mushy. I can’t shape the words to carry my meanings. Maybe I’ll get to it next week. That is, once I’ve done the other hundreds things that I’ve lined up for next week. Jellyfish today. Jellyfish tomorrow. Monday, back to work.
