Monday's GMST

Mondays are just like any other day now. The university is shut down until fall, so I’m not working, staying-at-home (mostly), catching up on casita chores, writing a little (like this blog), doing neighborhood work, and some political work. It feels like I’m busy but experiencing positive results is elusive without in-person social interaction. I helped clean up some of the damage in Tucson caused by the protesters. That felt good, but social distancing made it somewhat awkward.

Over on Facebook, I have fun posting about my Recycle Monday adventures (for those who don’t know, I roll the recycle bin to the curb in the early morning wearing next-to-nothing). And Maya Monday on Facebook challenges some of us to find photos centered around a theme like “women in uniform.” That can be interesting.

After my recycle run, in a silly swimsuit that is better for sex than swimming, I ate my summer breakfast of yogurt and fruit and thought, okay, it’s time to create a GMST list. One of my professors taught me that everyone should have a “Get My Shit Together” list each day. It can be a definitive list of things-to-do or work to be done, or simply ideas on what one must do to stay on track in life, to hold your heart and head intact.

Sparks’ GMST for Today:

1. Go nude at home today

Exciting stuff, right?

Off for the shopping part of the day. If I see a police officer, firefighter, or EMT while I'm out and I sense they may be in need of a smile, I might give them a peek. That is, if I don't think they'll arrest me!
