ongoing FAIL with a few bright spots.
More FAIL: time management, today.
I have work tomorrow which requires me to be on the way to a bus stop by about 6:15 tomorrow morning.
I have a rehearsal tonight which, presuming I take public transit there and back, requires I leave here before 5 this afternoon and stay out until about midnight.
I generally need more than five hours of sleep to make a good impression at work.
I have work every other day this week starting Wednesday so the cheapest path forward would have been to return the UHaul van on Tuesday and consider renting it again next week, avoiding $120. I couldn't do that: on Tuesday night the van still had my stuff in it. I lost Wednesday to a mini move a long way away: lots of effort, little reward. Thursday is mostly past. Friday is another workday.
An efficient wrapup today might have included moving stuff from the van to a storage unit, then from the boat and/or car to the van, then leaving the van at BART to take a bus ride out of the rehearsal transit path.
Even better might have been to make use of the time after rehearsal on Tuesday and after rehearsal on Thursday to do some of that . . . but with work before sunrise the following morning it's hard to be productive.
I expect I'll manage just a shower and late, possibly costly appearance at the rehearsal tonight.
That said, there have been some successful days in the still-overwhelming process recently.
Sunday Oct 18th was successful in that I got that pickup truckload of stuff, previously stored at the marina and moved from there on Sept 18th, out of temporary storage before the end of the free first month there.
Tuesday Oct 20th was successful in that I got the load packed up on Monday Oct 12th moved to long term storage and put a lock on another short term storage unit.
I also confirmed that I've been maligned at the marina even to people who like me.
Wednesday was moderately successful in a way I won't document here.
We'll see about Friday.
