She's making a list and checking it twice
Only it's really a bunch of different lists. One of the key items is an assignment to find a replacement for the day planner I've been using for years. Each year I've bought the same one, an academic At-a-Glance calendar called "Life Links", and I've loved it. Only this year, it's nowhere to be found, not even on the manufacturer's website. (It exists, but the size I use is unable to be ordered. So I have concluded it is either out of stock or discontinued. It certainly isn't anywhere else I can find.)
There are other lists, too. Lists of things to do around the house and in the garden, lists of things to work on revision-wise (my, what a pile of stuff I have here to work on!), and a need for new books and such for something else. Turns out that I have been stricken by a new project idea that will require beaucoup de recherches> And I mean beaucoup. But hey, it will probably also result in some really fun research trips and such, so why not? Right? (Hmm. At present, I find myself less than excited about research trips. The idea is good, but the thought of actual travel is a bit overwhelming. That will doubtless change as I get my feet all the way back under me from this recent conference experience.)
What's on YOUR list?
